Either 2024 or 2025. But for Nizhny Novgorod, perhaps even 12,000 will not be enough. When we played the third game of the series against SKA at home, 85,000 ticket requests were received at the same time. There were 65,000 applications for matches against Dynamo in the first round! You have no idea when we put two thousand tickets up for sale online, they sold out in three minutes!
The servers break down, they can’t stand such a fuss. Sometimes it’s impossible to explain to people that we don’t hide tickets. And they are offended that they cannot enter the arena. Including young people’s interest in the matches of “Torpedo” is very large. Therefore, we also organized a fan zone in the mall, there is also a very strong hype. Nizhny Novgorod fans have always been among the hottest, they love our team,” Kharlamov told .
