Tickets For World Handball Championship Sold Out!

Who wants to see the matches will have to find some other way, because the tickets were sold out.

With the second round of the World Handball Championship played in Croatia, the search for tickets has taken on a new form. People simply went mad for them and traders offer or want a hundred or more euros for the valuable pieces of paper in advertisement papers or on online forums.

Nobody knows how many tickets were sold exactly

Although information surfaced that there will be more tickets for today`s match between Croatia and Hungary, because the IHF gave up on its share, the Croatian Handball Association (HRS) denied this straight away.

- I don`t know where you got that, but there are no more tickets, everything has been sold out for the Croatian team. For today, tomorrow, Tuesday, the semi-finals and the final. There are no more tickets – HRS spokesperson Zlatko Skrinjar was clear.

He or the HRS do not know how many tickets went to sponsors and we could not get a reply from the Dekod company, which deals with the tickets. They said this was a business secret and could not reveal the figures.

Internet sales office confirmed that the number of tickets is not big, mentioning that they got several thousand tickets every day and they just disappeared.

- We don`t know exactly how many tickets we sold for which match, because they went in bulks, but we do know that we would sell 2,000 tickets one day, and then a package of 2,500 would arrive and we would sell it also. And then we would be left with nothing for a few days, just for another 2,000 tickets to arrive – the online sales office told us, pointing out that the tickets were also sold at some 20 different locations of the Tisak company throughout Croatia.

- There are tickets for the second round of matches in Zadar and the semi-finals in Split, at the prices which were previously announced. The final and the semi-finals were sold out almost two months ago – the online sales office said.
