Vektor 3,196 Posted August 14, 2023 #133 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Apparently 300 thousand tickets have been sold so far. 52.3% of ticket holders are Hungarian, the rest are foreigners. Tickets have been bought in 103 countries. That seems like a lot of foreign spectators. Probably the most for a sport event in Hungary, only the EURO2020 matches can rival with that.
