Whether a Bundesliga Dauerkarte reaches Apple Wallet depends entirely on the club. Some clubs ship a native Add to Apple Wallet button, some lock the ticket inside a proprietary app, and NFC plastic stadium cards cannot be copied into Wallet at all. There is no single answer that covers all 18 clubs.
This page sorts the situation out with a per-club matrix, then explains the PDF and QR fallback. Where a club issues a mobile ticket but no working Wallet button, NeatPass can read the barcode and build a Wallet pass from it.

Clubs with a Native Apple Wallet Button
FC Bayern München was among the first Bundesliga clubs to partner with Apple for native Wallet tickets, so entry is a contactless tap of the iPhone or Apple Watch at the reader with no app and no QR scan. 1. FC Köln and SC Freiburg use the same Apple VAS NFC approach, and Borussia Mönchengladbach offers an Add to Apple Wallet option at the ticket portal. VfB Stuttgart is digital-first for 2025/26 with a mobile Wallet download in the web shop, not the app.
Borussia Dortmund handles the Dauerkarte as a per-match mobile ticket that can be added to Apple Wallet for each game, covered in the BVB digital Dauerkarte guide . For the wider picture across leagues, the sports ticket in Apple Wallet guide explains how stadium tickets behave once they are in Wallet.
Clubs That Lock the Ticket in an App
Some clubs keep the Dauerkarte inside a closed secure-ticketing platform on purpose, for anti-fraud and anti-screenshot reasons. RB Leipzig uses the RBL Ticket app built on TixnGo, Bayer Leverkusen keeps the eTicket inside the Bayer 04 app, and Eintracht Frankfurt delivers only through the mainaqila app. To be clear, none of these export to Apple Wallet, and NeatPass cannot extract a ticket from a closed app-only system either. There is no QR or PDF to import in those cases.
NFC Season Cards and the PDF Fallback
An NFC plastic stadium-access card cannot be copied into Apple Wallet. It holds an encrypted access credential that Wallet cannot clone, so only a club-issued digital ticket can live in Wallet. A per-match mobile ticket, a PDF, or a QR ticket is a different story, because that is exportable data.
Where a club issues a PDF or QR Dauerkarte but no working Apple Wallet button, NeatPass reads the QR or Aztec barcode on-device and builds a Wallet pass carrying the same barcode data, while keeping the original PDF as a backup. The import methods page shows the ways to bring a file in, the supported barcodes list confirms which codes work, and adding to Wallet walks through the final step.

NeatPass makes it easy to convert any ticket, pass, or loyalty card to Apple Wallet.
When Wallet Is Not an Option
If the club locks the Dauerkarte in a closed app or only issues an NFC plastic card, Wallet is off the table and NeatPass cannot help. Where a real Wallet pass does exist, it works offline at the gate with no signal needed, and NeatPass adds passes with no accounts and data kept on the device.
