The early comer saves money
Major events cast their shadows in advance. On March 2001 came the starter's gun: the advance sales begun for the 18th European Championships in Athletics from 06 to 11 August 2002 in the Olympic Park Munich. On the occasion of the international athletics meeting "LIVE 2001" in Nuremberg, Wilfrid Spronk, Managing Director of Olympiapark München GmbH, assessed: "The first tickets were sold 17 months before the European Championships. We are very satisfied with the advance sales until now. We believe that a great number of people will be present at this fantastic athletics event.
And the early comers can really save money. Whoever assures him/herself in the advance sales of a seat under the world famous roof receives a rebate of up to ten percent compared to the price to be paid at the entrance. If there is then a reduction for young people up to the age of 16, schoolchildren, students, the handicapped, those performing civilian service and those doing military service, the ticket price is over 30 percent less than it would be on the day at the entrance. Thus the cheapest ticket in the advance ticket sales is 15 Euros. And in all these tickets, the price for the use of the public urban transit system is included. But also on competition days there are really cheap tickets to be had: thus the above-mentioned categories can obtain reduced price tickets to the sensational price of three Euros for the morning events – and that applies to all categories. That corresponds to a price reduction of over 60 percent on the normal price of eight Euros. In addition, there are also interesting offers for families. Thus a day ticket for two adults and two children costs at the entrance between 65 and 85 Euros.Those planning a complete trip to the 18th European Championships in Athletics can book via the exclusive travel operator for the Championships, DERTOUR.
