Tickets for II European Games: whom, how and where to buy?

Tickets for II European Games: whom, how and where to buy?

The best way to know the relevance of a particular sporting event is to count the number of those who are interested in it. It is more difficult with TV viewers: the ratings and audience of television screens will become more or less clear only at the end of the competition. It is clearer with tickets. Empty seats in the stands are a headache for the organizers of any tournaments. If we are talking about multisport events, the ticket program is placed in a separate category and deserves close attention. A little less than three months left before the start of the II European Games. What is the situation on the ticket front and what should be done to see firsthand the competitions of the strongest athletes in Europe?

Tickets for the Olympic Games are often sold out for a couple of months. The European counterpart is not yet so popular, but Natalia Novik, the leading marketing specialist for the Directorate of the II European Games fund, says: sales are very good.

- Today, about 35 thousand tickets have been sold, but so far there are empty seats for almost all sessions in the Games program. Moreover, seats are gradually being added: a lot of tickets are reserved for various client groups: the family of European Olympic Committees, the press, dignitaries, athletes ... About 15 to 25 percent of tickets are blocked so far. We still keep some tickets in reserve due to the fact that the locations of television cameras and various structures at sports facilities are not fully known. When everything is installed, it is quite possible, part of the reserve will also go on sale. This is better than thinking where to transfer people who have already bought tickets.

The issues with the arrangement and the total number of empty seats concern, by the way, all arenas, except for those where the stands were built specifically for the II European Games. On the rowing canal or on the field of the sports complex "Olympic", where archery competitions will take place, the whole picture is clear now. On the rowing canal in Zaslavl, for example, the stands are designed for 1,300 seats, some of which are given to athletes and the press. The cameras here will be installed along the water and the occupancy of the stands will not affect. In the sale in the end came about 800 seats. Relatively little, but Natalya Novik assures: for rowing, the competitions in which are held outside the city limits, this is quite enough, and so far there are empty seat.

- Today you can still buy tickets even at the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games. Moreover, the owner of such a ticket automatically becomes a member of a large-scale show. But there are currently no tickets for the final of the beach football tournament. That put on sale, bought very quickly. The remaining places are reserved. But if, say, not all NOCs buy out some of their quotas, there will still be a chance to see the game of the strongest football players from the fans.

he final picture in the stands should emerge by the end of April.
