For the only home test match ahead of the IIHF World Championship, Ticklio once again partnered with the Ice Hockey Federation of Slovenia to deliver a simple, structured, and fan-friendly ticketing experience at Bled Ice Hall, built for clarity, speed, and a packed arena atmosphere.

As Slovenia’s national team prepares for the elite division championship in May, anticipation is building around the 7 May clash against Hungary, the only chance for fans to support the team live on home ice before the tournament begins. With tickets already in pre-sale, the goal was clear: make access effortless, transparent, and tailored to both local supporters and visiting fans.

Built on a Trusted Partnership

Continuing a strong and proven collaboration, Ticklio once again supports the Hockey Federation of Slovenia with full ticketing operations. Following multiple successful events in Bled, the setup remains familiar—refined, optimized, and ready for peak moments. From online pre-sales to on-site box office support, everything is designed to reduce friction and keep the focus on the game.

What’s New This Time

For this event, we introduced a clear separation of home and away fan sections, helping organizers maintain structure in the stands and ensuring a better matchday experience for everyone. In addition, we implemented a 10% discount for NLB cardholders, seamlessly integrated into the checkout flow during pre-sale. This allowed fans to instantly benefit from the promotion without additional steps, codes, or confusion.

Structured seating and built-in benefits. Simple for fans, powerful for organizers.

Simple Access, From First Click to Face-Off

Tickets are available online in advance and at the venue on matchday, with a clear pricing model—rewarding early buyers while keeping access open for last-minute visitors. At the gates, Ticklio enables fast QR validation via mobile devices, removing the need for complex hardware and ensuring smooth entry even during peak arrival times. The same system supports all ticket types, keeping operations unified and predictable.

Behind the scenes, organizers have a real-time overview of sales and attendance, helping them anticipate flow and maintain control throughout the event. With a focused, single-match setup, the system is optimized for fast throughput, minimal queues, and a clear fan journey. Whether purchasing days in advance or just before puck drop, fans experience the same simplicity—from checkout to entry.

Conclusion

Back in Bled, with a trusted partner and a refined system, Ticklio ensures that Slovenia’s only home test match runs exactly as it should—clean, fast, and fan-first. With structured seating, built-in discounts, and proven on-site execution, we continue to support HZS in delivering events where everything around the game simply works.
