"More then 20 000 tickets have been booked and sold during the month the tickets have been out for sale. That is more than twice the amount at the same time last year," says Tony Wiréhn, general secretary of the organizing committee.

It is possible to buy tickets for the preliminary round at a cost of 95-795 kronor for adults and 75-195 for children and youth. During the playoffs the prices are 345-1495 kronor for adults. There are children and youth tickets available to the quarterfinals at a cost of 175 or 250 kronor.

"The tickets for the playoffs are very much in demand and we are optimistic that all off these games will be sold out. Right now there are only a few tickets left for the final, with more to be released in the coming months."
