It's the duel that electrifies ice hockey in South Tyrol like no other. When HC Pustertal and HC Bozen meet, it's showtime! And that applies not only to the spectacle on the ice, but also to the one in the stands, where the two rival fan bases clash with each other. And the Intercable Arena, filled with a good 3.100 fans, will be buzzing again on Friday.

Advance tickets went on sale at the stadium entrance early Monday evening, with almost all remaining tickets selling out within two hours – despite HCP partially raising ticket prices for this game. However, fans still have a small chance: 74 seat tickets and 78 tickets for the Rienzkurve are still available. They can be purchased online this Tuesday starting at 12 p.m.

The last chance for tickets

The away section is already completely sold out. Since the majority of the 261 standing places in the Bolzano block have been allocated to active fan groups, it can be assumed that Foxes fans have also bought tickets in the adjacent seating section M.

The game kicks off at 7:45 p.m. on Friday. All fans who cannot attend are welcome to SportNews Stay up to date with a live ticker on match day.
