Flest vil se Norge ta VM-gull i stafett

Skiskytter-VM i Holmenkollen har passerte 40.000 solgte billetter. Fire måneder før VM begynner det å bli trangt om plassen på enkelte øvelser. Mest populær er herrestafetten.

2. – 13. mars samles verdens beste skiskyttere i Holmenkollen for å sloss om gull. Billettene fortsetter å rives vekk.

– Salget går så det suser. Vi har allerede solgt en tredjedel av målet om 125 000 billetter, sier Per Bergerud, administrerende direktør for Skiskytter-VM 2016.

Skiskytter-VM byr på 11 øvelser fordelt på åtte konkurransedager og er sesongens store mål for stjerner som Martin Fourcade, Tiril Eckhoff, Emil Hegle Svendsen og Ole Einar Bjørndalen.

Stafettlandet Norge
I tillegg til herrestafetten er det spesielt stor pågang på fellesstarten, damestafetten, sprint og jaktstart.

– Noen øvelser utpeker seg og herrestafetten aller tydeligst. Nordmenn elsker stafett og blir ekstra gira når det er mesterskap. Det blir en veldig spennende øvelse, sier Bergerud.

Vær tidlig ute
I tillegg de populære tribunebillettene byr arrangøren på tradisjonelle løypebilletter på VM-haugen og Kapellskogen.

- Det er fortsatt mange ledige billetter, men de beste plassene går først, så jeg anbefaler folk å være tidlig ute om de ønsker å få med seg sin favorittøvelse, sier Bergerud.

Billettene til VM koster fra 200 kroner for voksne, og fra 100 kroner for ungdom mellom 7 og 15 år. Prisene er eks. billettavgift. Barn under 7 år koster kun 30 kroner. Alle billetter inkluderer fri offentlig transport med Ruter i sone 1 i Oslo.
