"The ticket price policy is a key issue in the organization of the championship, which we have been really careful about," said Martin Urban, General Secretary of Czech Hockey. "The Organizing Committee has tried to take into account several factors - in addition to the attractiveness of this junior tournament, where fans can see future stars of the hockey world, it is also an event that is particularly interesting spectator event, so we wanted the tournament to be affordable so that fans can enjoy it and attend several games. We also took into account the long-term performance and success of each team as well as the importance of the playoff stage of the tournament in each category.”
Tournament games, which will feature the world's top ten under-20 teams, will be played at Ostravar Arena in Ostrava and Werk Arena in Trinec. Ticket prices are the same for both Ostrava and Trinec.

For the same price of 290 CZK (€11.30), tickets to all four quarter-final games will be available in both cities: two in Ostrava and two in Trinec. The last two days of the tournament will take place in Ostrava - the semi-finals and medal games will be played in Ostravar Arena.

Blockages in both arenas are approximately 25 percent of arena capacity and include blockages for the IIHF, teams, media, and technical blockages. “Also, due to the high TV ratings of the championship, especially overseas, we have met the wishes of the television rights holder and host broadcaster, TSN, for the ticket sales system. As part of the sale of tickets, we are releasing in the first phase of the ticket sale in the sectors on the so-called ‘television side’, meaning behind the players’ benches and behind the nets,” explained Urban.

“The IIHF World Junior Championship is one of the most watched tournaments. We hope that it will be interesting in the Czech Republic as well and that many hockey fans have already started planning how they will spend their Christmas holidays in the arenas of Moravian-Silesian Region. We believe that with the set pricing policy, fans will come out in great numbers,” added Martin Urban.
The IIHF World Junior Championship have been held in the Czech Republic three times and returns after twelve years. The city of Ostrava will co-host this event for the second time.
“Hockey has a tradition in the Moravian-Silesian Region. In addition to the regional city, it offers quality games, a great hockey atmosphere and a quality setting in Trinec. Thanks to these attributes, we are hosting this hockey championship featuring players who are still only juniors, but among them will be future stars of the hockey world. The fans in Ostrava and Trinec might be seeing the future Crosby, Ovechkin, Jagr or Lemieux. The IIHF World Junior Championship is returning to the Moravian-Silesian Region after 25 years. I believe that this important sporting event will draw attention to the prestige of our region,” said Ivo Vondrak, Governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region.
“This championship is one of the most prestigious hockey tournaments in the world. For scouts and team leaders from the NHL, it is even more important than the senior World Championship. In this tournament, they are looking for talent and the IIHF World Junior Championship has in many cases triggered the careers of the biggest stars in hockey. Ostrava will become the centre of the hockey world at the turn of the year. I am pleased that the organizers chose Ostrava as a venue of the championship. This is the way in which we have made use of the experience when we were able to prepare events at the highest level. One of the important points is the accommodation capacity that Ostrava has at the appropriate level. I expect many visitors. I believe that the fans will see excellent hockey and the players will become role models for children and influence them to participate in sports,” said Tomas Macura, Mayor of Ostrava.
“Trinec and sport have been inseparable for decades. Trinec lives through sports, the people of Trinec are unique fans and I believe that will create a great atmosphere in Werk Arena, as well as they do for our home professional team, Ocelari. The IIHF World Junior Championship is the most important sporting event in the history of Trinec. It is a great honour for us and also a challenge to prove that we truly deserve to be a hockey city,” said Vera Palkovska, Mayor of Trinec.
"We are honoured to be able to host future world ice hockey stars in our Werk Arena. For fans in Trinec, this tournament will be a great experience. They will certainly create a great atmosphere during each game,” said Jan Czudek, General Manager of Moravia Steel, which is a partner of the Championship.
