In 2016, a real holiday awaits Russian hockey fans. Nine years later, Russia is hosting the Ice Hockey World Championship. The battles of the world's leading hockey teams will begin in Moscow and St. Petersburg on May 6.
Many Russians are very fond of hockey. This is no coincidence, because the Russian national team is one of the leading in this sport. World championships gather millions of fans on TV screens. In 2016, the Russians will be able to personally observe the games of the main tournament of the year among the hockey teams. However, it should be said that this is quite an expensive pleasure.
The main question of interest to hockey fans may be the price of tickets for the 2016 World Championship. There is currently no complete and accurate information on how much tickets for the World Championship games cost, although some specialized sites already have approximate prices.
Ticket prices for the 2016 World Cup depend on many factors. First of all, these are the stages of the tournament, the teams participating in the match. Tickets for the games of the Russian national team will cost more than for the matches of France or Norway. The confrontation, for example, between Latvia and Kazakhstan will be assessed less than the game Canada - USA. In addition, the location of seats in the stands will play an important role in the cost of tickets.
The cheapest tickets for group stage matches range from RUB 3,000. This is the cost per match, for example, Denmark and Norway. Moreover, this price implies the least convenient viewing places (the upper tier of the stands). The best seats can cost about 5,000 - 6,000 rubles. A package of tickets for all matches of the group stage (there will be seven) of the Norwegian national team costs from 28,000 rubles.
Group play of more eminent rivals, in particular Canada and the United States, is more expensive. The cost of tickets can range from 6,000 to 15,000 rubles, depending on the seats.
The Russian national team starts the tournament with a match with the Czech Republic. Ticket prices for this game can be at a minimum cost of about 10,000 rubles. The top bar of the best places is about 35,000 rubles. VIP seats can be even more expensive. Tickets for the match between the Russians and Kazakhstan in the group will be cheaper. Their price will be approximately 6,000 rubles. A package of tickets for the games of the national team in the group stage costs about 90,000 rubles (least watched seats).
Ticket prices for the playoffs and medals are traditionally higher than those for the group stage, but will depend on the factors described above (teams and seats).
The indicated ticket prices are indicative, it is quite possible that there may be some difference in cost immediately before the start of the world championship.
