There’s less than a week left until the Bandy World Championships begin. As the tournament approaches, we would like to share important and up-to-date information regarding tickets and event area arrangements to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
Tickets and stands
The main stand ticket structure remains unchanged. The main stand has a total capacity of 500 seats. After VIP sales, 150 regular seats will be released for sale in the main stand.
VIP capacity from Thursday to Sunday is 350 guests per day, and VIP tickets always include a seat in the main stand. VIP tickets can be purchased until January 13. After that date, any remaining capacity will be released for regular main stand ticket sales.
All other spectator tickets will be area tickets. An area ticket grants access to all stands except the main stand. A day ticket allows free movement between stands A, B, C and D, with no need to select a specific stand when purchasing the ticket.
Services at the championship area
Several kiosks will be available at the championship area, offering sweet and savory snacks, candy, as well as coffee, tea, mulled wine and sausages. A K18 licensed alcohol serving area is located within the artificial ice rink area.
Additional food trucks and food vendors will be present during the event. More detailed information about these services will be announced on the event’s social media channels closer to the tournament. Multiple restroom facilities will be available throughout the area.
Between matches, visitors can enjoy side activities organized by students from WinNova.
