Grazer AK vs LASK Tickets

Grazer AK vs LASK Rivalry History

Putting together a timeline for the rivalry between LASK and Grazer AK is very straightforward because these two clubs came together at the same time in the same space — with either one club or the other mostly occupying the top tier of Austrian football — for more than 60 years. The intense rivalry between Grazer AK and LASK Linz is highlighted by a number of classic matches, showcasing the back-and-forth nature of the competition. That being said, there is very little in terms of historical documentation regarding the matches these two teams have played against each other. The rivalry actually goes back a long way, with some notable fixtures in the 1970s and 1980s. However, it only became really pronounced in the 1990s and after that — a development which is mainly due to the teams facing each other more often in the Austrian Bundesliga and Austrian Cup. (Since the teams play in different divisions, they only face each other when one of them enters the other's division. That happened recently in 2022 when LASK Linz won promotion to the 1. Liga.) Seasonal elements, such as that low winter sun casting long shadows across the pitch and the occasional snowfall, establish an atmosphere for the match that few other leagues could hope to replicate.

Within the framework of the Grazer AK vs. LASK derby, Ticombo employs a model that ensures its customers obtain real tickets to the sold-out event. This is in direct contrast to the pre-existing secondary ticketing market, which usually sees inflated prices and doesn't always guarantee entry. What makes Ticombo's model work? In essence, the company purchases tickets at face value, allowing them to be resold legally, undercutting the typical (and often dubious) means through which fans procure tickets for high-demand events.

Merkur Arena Information

How to get to Merkur Arena

Getting to Merkur Arena is not a problem at all. It is easy to access by public transport. The Graz tram line 5 takes you straight to the "Merkur Arena" stop, which is just a 300-meter stroll to the main entrance of the stadium. If you are coming by train, you can take a bus (B51) that shuttles you to the arena from the main train station (Hauptbahnhof Graz) in about 10 minutes.

In case you are driving, Merkur Arena has ample parking for you and the other motoring fans. They have 1,200 spaces split mainly between three lots: the North Lot, the East Lot, and the South Lot — my teammates and I always park in the South Lot. The rate is €2.50 per hour, and the space, at a minimum, gets you in the door and sets you up for seeing the start of the first half.
