Bolzano vs. Puster Valley: A comparison of season tickets for the new season

The ICE Hockey League is expanding to 14 teams – with the addition of newcomer HC Milano, the Foxes and the Wolves will have two more home games than before. It's no wonder, then, that ice hockey fever has already gripped South Tyrol around the time season tickets for HC Bozen and HC Pustertal go on sale.

While HC Falkensteiner Pustertal kicks off the new season after their historic first appearance in the ICE Hockey League finals, HCB Südtirol Alperia continues to work on building a competitive team for the expanded league. Both clubs are clearly looking forward to the 2026/27 season, both on the ice and at the ticket booths.

The Puster Valley presale for existing season ticket holders started at the end of July, and shortly afterward, general sales began for fans who didn't have a season ticket last season. Last season, HCP already had nearly 1.500 season ticket holders – with an average attendance of almost 2.950 people per home game at the Intercable Arena. In Bolzano, online presale starts on August 13, followed by ticket sales at the Sparkasse Arena box office on August 17.

Between 43 and 1190 Euro

But how much will fans at the two ICE hockey venues in South Tyrol have to dig into their pockets for their season tickets this summer? In Bolzano, prices will remain largely the same as last year. "Despite the general increase in costs, we have decided to keep the prices of season tickets unchanged and even lower them in some areas," explains HCB Managing Director Dieter Knoll. The most expensive ticket is once again the premium seat including parking: the "Full Season Ticket" with all home games, including potential playoffs, costs €1190, while the basic version without postseason coverage costs €920.

On the side grandstands, a full season ticket costs €610, and a basic season ticket costs €465 – students up to age 25 and young people up to age 18 receive a small discount. In sectors D and H, the more affordable seats, a full season ticket is available for €480 and a basic season ticket for €380, with concessions at €240 and €190 respectively. Children up to age 5 and people with a disability of at least 75 percent receive a special price of €43 for a full season ticket.

At HC Pustertal, season tickets have become slightly more expensive compared to last year. The "All In" subscription, which covers not only the regular season but also any potential ICEHL playoffs, costs €850 for seats in the central stands, €730 for seats in the side sections, and €650 for standing room above. The Rienzkurve is once again the cheapest option at €500. As with their neighbors in Bolzano, there is also a ticket option that only covers the regular season, which is slightly cheaper than the "All In" option. Reduced prices are available for children, students, and school pupils for all ticket options.

The conclusion

Here is a rough summary of the situation at the two stadiums: In the cheap and middle categories, HCB is somewhat cheaper, but in the premium venues the picture reverses and Bolzano becomes noticeably more expensive than the most expensive Bruneck sector.

Both clubs offer a wide price range – from around €190 for a junior or student season ticket in Bolzano to €1190 for a premium seat with parking. Those looking for the best deal will find the most attractive offers at both the Bolzano and Bruneck Rienzkurve sections of the stadium.
