Demand for LASK’s UEFA Champions League tickets has overwhelmed the club’s online shop, ORF reported on Wednesday, with more than 7,600 people waiting to gain access during the protected presale for season-ticket holders.
The presale began at noon for four-packs covering the club’s home matches at the Oberösterreich Arena. Many fans were placed in a digital waiting room, while some ticket categories were already unavailable.
One fan told ORF that a friend who logged in as an ABO-PLUS customer at 11:30 a.m. was still placed at number 851 in the queue. Standing places and tickets in the fan sections were already sold out, while thousands of people were still waiting for the family section.
An ORF test at 3:45 p.m. found that the fan shop was temporarily inaccessible. A message said there was “currently a large rush” on the LASK online shop and that a waiting room had been created to manage the number of visits and bookings. The accompanying notice said: “7,620 users are ahead of you.”
LASK had warned in advance of the expected demand. The club told ORF Upper Austria that the protected sale would continue until Monday. General sales will then begin, “depending on availability,” meaning that season-ticket holders may buy all the tickets before they go on general sale.
ABO-PLUS holders automatically retain their regular seats, with payment collected by direct debit. Season-ticket holders can also buy up to four additional four-packs.
For ABO-PLUS customers, four-packs cost 135 euros in the standing section of the ASK stand, 198 euros in the curve and 302 euros in the family section. Seats in the SW section cost 385 euros.
Without ABO-PLUS, prices are 150 euros for the ASK stand, 220 euros for the curve and 336 euros for the family section. A four-pack in the SW section costs 428 euros, while the most expensive package, for the so-called “LASKler” seats, costs 712 euros.
Children aged up to 14 pay 25 percent of the regular price in all categories, according to the club.
