Based on the measures taken by the federal government to contain the corona virus, there are also effects on the Bundesliga and on several public appointments of Austria Wien.

It is now known that the Bundesliga and second league rounds have to be postponed throughout Austria in March. We have summarized the most common questions and answers.

A: The tickets will of course be valid for the alternate date, provided that these are carried out in public. Everything possible is currently being done for the games to be held with an audience. Any scenarios for day ticket holders will of course also be discussed asap and announced as soon as it is clear when the games can be held.
