Second and last batch of tickets released!

Second phase of ticket sales launched for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26. Last chance to buy tickets!

This is the last chance to purchase tickets for the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26. On Monday, sales began for the second and final batch of tickets. From 20 to 22 March, the world’s best athletes will compete at the most important indoor athletics event of the year at the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń.

Just over two months remain until the start of the biggest athletics event held in Poland in recent years. Tickets from the first sales phase sold out in no time, which comes as no surprise — after all, the venue will host the world’s finest athletes, including Armand Duplantis, the multiple-time and current world record holder in the pole vault for many years to come. Despite his career being one long string of successes, the Swede has not forgotten that his journey to the top effectively began in the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń. On 8 February 2020, during the Orlen Copernicus Cup meeting, he set a world record for the very first time.

“I remember that competition very fondly and I remember the arena where I broke the world record for the first time. I will be very happy to return here to compete at the World Indoor Championships,” says Duplantis. At the time, the world record stood at 6,17 m, and today Duplantis’s indoor world record is already ten centimetres higher. Could the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń witness another record by the great champion? That is certainly not out of the question.

“We are well aware that if we could accommodate more spectators, they would definitely come. Unfortunately, constraints such as the need to designate a special stand for athletes, as well as to prepare a significant number of seats for media representatives and guests from around the world, mean that there are fewer tickets than we would like,” says Krzysztof Wolsztyński, Vice President of the Polish Athletics Association and Director of the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26. In total, almost three thousand tickets will be available for each of the six sessions. Tickets can be purchased on eBilet.pl platform. The venue has been divided into three price categories, with the cheapest tickets costing 100 PLN.

“I am convinced that for fans all over Poland, and especially in the Kujawy Pomorze region, this will be an extremely important moment, as opportunities to watch competitions of such a high calibre in Poland do not come around often. We are also very much looking forward to it, because for us it is a rare chance to compete for medals at a major event in front of our home crowd,” says Adrianna Sułek-Schubert, an outstanding Polish combined-events athlete and one of the ambassadors of the World Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26. Sułek-Schubert is preparing for the championships while training in Santa Barbara, California. Another ambassador, Piotr Lisek, has chosen to prepare in Poland.

This coming Saturday, the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń will host a meeting with all the volunteers who will support the organisation of the event. Everyone will be required to complete, among other things, health and safety and first aid training. They will also meet the team working on the championships and… Goosia — a friendly little goose, a symbol of the region and its traditions, who will serve as the mascot of the World Athletics Indoor Championships Kujawy Pomorze 26.

The competitions at the Kujawsko-Pomorska Arena Toruń will begin on 20 March. Morning sessions will start each day at 10:05, while evening sessions will begin at 18:35 on Friday and Saturday, and at 17:40 on Sunday. The first medals, in the women’s high jump, will be awarded during the opening session of the championships.
