When: League tickets at Joseph Marien go first to Union+ Members (EUR 40 a season; memberships for 2026-27 are closed), then a week later to fans with a purchase history, and any remaining seats in a short open sale shortly before the match. Every buyer needs a ticketing account with identity validation (itsme or Onfido) and each ticket is in the holder's name; small ground, so big games may never reach open sale.
Official 2026-27 charts (adults 24-64): category 2 matches EUR 20 East (standing)/North, EUR 28 West A/D, EUR 39 West B/C; category 1 (Club Brugge, Anderlecht, Standard, Gent, Genk) EUR 27 East/North, EUR 38 West A/D, EUR 65 West B/C. Students 12-23 and seniors cheaper. Applies to league games at Joseph Marien, not European games at Den Dreef.
Buy on the official Union SG siteThe labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
