OREANDA-NEWS. October 12, 2012. Sales of e-tickets for "Dnipro-PSV", game of Europa League were the record for Ukrainian soccer. It’s the first time when nearly half of all seats have been sold not as paper tickets but as e-tickets. As PrivatBank reported 14.8 thousand of 30 thousand tickets were bought by fans via PrivatBank’s service "E-tickets".

"Taking into account the excessive demand for European Cup tickets at the booking offices of "Dnipro-Arena" Stadium (Dnipropetrovsk) purchasing tickets via Privat24 as well as in ATMs or self-service terminals near your home turned to be much more convenient and favorable,"- said Yuriy Kandaurov, Deputy Chairman of PrivatBank. "It was even more convenient for those who had bought contactless season tickets for games with FC "Dnipro", that allow their owners to buy-out seats for European Cup games in advance."

As Bank reported the most requested way of buying e-tickets for soccer is purchasing them via Internet. More than 54% of e-tickets were bought in such way. About 30% of e-tickets were bought via self-service terminals and the rest at PrivatBank’s outlets.

Booking for the first DNIPRO domestic game with PSV (Holland) in the UEFA Europa League group stage on September 20th started on September 12th

It is also possible to buy tickets for all kinds of transport and cultural and entertainment events via PrivatBank’s service "E-tickets". More than 650 thousand customers have been used the Bank’s e-ticket service to buy tickets for transport since the beginning of 2012.
