As the first Bundesliga club, Rapid has given its fans detailed guidelines for visiting the stadium in autumn. Mouth and nose protection is therefore mandatory in the Allianz Stadium in Corona times, unless you are directly at the assigned seat. The authorities allow seats with a maximum of 10,000 spectators without exception, and a ranking is made when allocating.
It is therefore clear that the block west fan stand has to be converted so that the seats to be arranged in a checkerboard pattern can be provided. There will be a number of pre-selection rights for sales: First, all Rapid members who have had an annual subscription since the opening of the Allianz Stadium can choose their seat, then those who have had a subscription for five years. Subscription newbies come last.
The question of special precautions for arriving and departing by public transport remains open. Most of the Rapid fans travel to and from the Hütteldorf terminus on the U4 underground line. On match days, there are briefly large crowds in and around the station building, so that distance rules can hardly be adhered to.
In this regard, Wiener Linien said that they were always in close coordination with Rapid and Austria in the course of Bundesliga or European Cup games. There have not yet been any concrete talks before the new season, said a spokesman. Rapid announced on APA request that they would appeal to the fans not to arrive too soon before the start of the match. There are still three weeks until the start of the new Bundesliga season.
