Red Bull Arena opened its doors for the first time 2003, which was two years before Red Bull took over SV Austria Salzburg and renamed both the club and the stadium. Back then it had the name of Stadion Wals-Siezenheim and a capacity of just over eighteen-thousand. There are other Red Bull Arenas in both Leipzig and New Jersey, both with clubs owned by the energy drink manufacturer. None of them are particularly popular with the other teams in their league, with the feeling being that they have essentially been financially doped in order to achieve the success that they have in recent years. For FC Red Bull Salzburg that includes winning the Austrian Bundesliga virtually every season since the takeover, as well as their first ever Austrian Cups.<\/p>\n

The club was formed from a merger between FC Rapid Salzburg and Hertha FC Salzburg in 1933, taking the name of SV Austria Salzburg. That name changed to SV Casino Salzburg in 1978, then again to SV W\u00fcstenrot Salzburg in 1997. The latter change was down to a sponsorship deal with a financial services corporation in Austria, proving that sponsorship deals have always been part of Salzburg\u2019s history. That said, there\u2019s no question that the takeover by Red Bull on the 6th of April 2005 was the biggest change in the club\u2019s history. In fact, when the company came in they declared \u2018this is a new club with no history\u2019, changing everything from the club crest through to the management set up and, of course, the playing staff.<\/p>\n

Red Bull Arena (Salzburg) Seating Plan and Where to Sit<\/h2>\r\n \r\n
<\/div>\r\n \r\n
From FC Red Bull Salzburg<\/a><\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

With room for just shy of 32,000 people, it\u2019s fair to say that Red Bull Arena is one of the most impressive stadiums in Austria. The arena has two tiers and they run around the pitch in an uninterrupted fashion. The Sky Boxes are in the West Stand, meaning that that\u2019s essentially the hospitality section and the main stand. Away supporters are housed in the South Stand, with home supporters considering the North Stand to be their main location for the most ardent fans.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n

FC Red Bull Salzburg Ticket Prices<\/h2>\r\n

The amount you\u2019ll pay for tickets to see Red Bull Salzburg play their games depends entirely on where in the ground you\u2019d like to sit, as well as how old you are. The most expensive sections are the Upper Tier of the East & West tiers, where tickets can be as pricey as \u20ac33 for adults for Category I matches. You\u2019ll pay around half that to get a ticket in the standing section, with tickets there costing \u20ac18.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the cheapest and most expensive tickets for adult, concessions and children. Do bear in mind, though, that you\u2019ll pay an additional \u20ac2 on full price and concession tickets if you buy them on the day of the game and that matches are categorised.<\/p>\n
