Baku, Azerbaijan, May 16
Trend:
Baku 2015 opened a new ticket sales outlet at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium May 16, and reminded members of the public to ensure that they buy tickets for the inaugural European Games from official sources only.
Demand for tickets has risen significantly over recent weeks, as excitement and anticipation have grown across the country ahead of the start of the Games on June 12.
The Baku 2015 European Games Operations Committee (BEGOC) wants to ensure that spectators coming to the Games only purchase tickets from the Baku 2015 website or any one of the 12 official ticket sales outlets located across Baku.
"Our priority is to ensure that everyone coming to the European Games has the best possible experience," Simon Clegg, Chief Operating Officer of Baku 2015, said. "Therefore, our message to anyone purchasing a ticket is simple - make sure you buy yours from one of the official ticket outlets in Baku, or via our website, baku2015.com."
The new ticket sales outlet, which is located just outside the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium, is the twelfth to open in Baku. The outlet will be open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Other ticket sales outlets are located at key locations around Baku, including the Park Bulvar, 28 Mall and Metro Park shopping centres.
Information on any aspect of the European Games, from the locations of the ticket sales outlets to details of how to travel to venues, can be obtained from the Spectator Information Centre by dialling 2015, as well as on the Baku 2015 website.
Baku 2015 is the first-ever European Games, an exciting and innovative multi-sport event for the continent that will take place on June 12-28, 2015.
There will be a total of 20 sports at Baku 2015: 16 Olympic sports and four non-Olympic sports. More than 6,000 athletes from across Europe will be representing their nations over 17 days of competition.
Baku was awarded the games by the European Olympic Committees (EOC) in December 2012.
