Women's EHF FINAL4: Website launch throws off ticket sales

Tickets for the first edition of the Women's EHF FINAL4 can now be purchased via the event's official website, www.ehfFINAL4.com.

The season climax takes place in Papp László Budapest Sportaréna on 3 and 4 May. Semi-finals will be played on Saturday; the match for third place and the final will follow on Sunday. Tickets are always valid for both match days.

The tickets are available in the following categories

• Category 1 tickets for 34,990 Hungarian Forint (approx. 112 euro)
• Category 2 tickets for 24,990 Hungarian Forint (approx. 80 euro)
• Category 3 tickets for 17,990 Hungarian Forint (approx. 58 euro)
• Category 4 tickets for 9,900 Hungarian Forint (approx. 32 euro)

Fans are advised to get their tickets quickly on www.ehfFINAL4.com as huge demand for the 10,000 tickets available is expected.

The launch of ticket sales coincides with the launch of www.ehfFINAL4.com as the online hub for all information related to the final weekend of the Women's EHF Champions League.

For many years the website has already been the point of entry for the VELUX EHF FINAL4, the season climax of the VELUX EHF Champions League.

Now a split screen on the entry page allows handball fans from all over the world to choose between the two top class events.

Similar to the website for the men's event, which is presented in English and German, all information on pages related to the women's event are presented in Hungarian and English.

Apart from all information related to ticket sales the website offers an up to date news section and information around the event, the hosting arena, Budapest as hosting city and a press section.

Further information will be added in the weeks and months to come.
