The Helsinki Olympic Stadium is one of Finland's most significant landmarks, featuring distinctive Finnish modernist architecture. The structure holds such significance for Finland that it's depicted on a commemoration stamp issued by the National Post Office and was chosen for a series of postage stamps that honored Finnish architecture (in circulation from 2000 until 2006).

The Olympic Stadium functions as both a place for major athletic events and a premier concert venue. Whether hosting athletics meets, international football, or large-scale concerts, the stadium regularly draws significant crowds and remains a focal point for cultural life in Helsinki.

Ticombo runs a fan-to-fan marketplace where each ticket undergoes a strict authentication process. Sellers must provide high-resolution scans of the original barcode, and an independent team verifies every entry against the venue's official ticketing database. After passing authentication the ticket is held safely and the buyer's payment is kept by Ticombo until after the event, allowing the ticket's validity to be fully confirmed. The Buyer-Protection Plan ensures purchasers have recourse — refunds or replacement tickets are provided if problems arise.

100% Authentic Tickets with Buyer Protection

Navigating secondary marketplaces demands trust and clear guarantees. Ticombo's platform enforces rigorous verification: sellers supply verifiable ticket scans, entries are cross-checked with official systems, and suspicious listings are flagged for manual review. Payment is held in escrow until delivery confirmation, and the Buyer-Protection Plan covers cancellations, fraudulent listings, or delivery failures.

Payments on the platform are processed securely. The system minimizes risk through encrypted channels and identity checks for buyers and sellers. This combination of authentication, escrow-style payment handling, and a formal protection plan reduces the common anxieties associated with secondhand ticket purchases.

About Helsinki Olympic Stadium

Helsinki Olympic Stadium History

The 1940 Games' cancellation resulted in a decade of underuse for the Helsinki Stadium, but the venue rose in significance during post‑war reconstruction. When Helsinki hosted the 1952 Summer Olympics the stadium became a world stage: athletes such as Emil Zátopek and Bob Mathias set memorable marks, and the venue established itself as Finland's foremost sporting arena. Over the decades the stadium has continued to evolve, hosting athletics, football and major concerts while maintaining its status as a national landmark.

Subsequent decades saw targeted renovation campaigns to modernize facilities while preserving historic character. The comprehensive refurbishment projects, particularly those in the early 21st century and 2016–2020, updated seating, lighting, video boards and suite amenities to meet contemporary standards and event requirements.

Helsinki Olympic Stadium Facts and Figures

Field dimensions: 105m × 68m (football) with an 8‑lane, 400m track surrounding the playing field.
Seating configurations: Four main zones (North, South, East, West), with 14 premium VIP boxes, 30 loge suites, and a "Grass-Level" standing area for concert-goers.
Typical permanent seating: a little over 35,000; with temporary infield arrangements for concerts, capacity can increase to roughly 50,000 (when compliant with fire and safety regulations).
Renovations: 2002–05 (façade and lighting) and 2016–20 (seating, video board, and suite amenities). From 2016 to 2020, the Finnish state invested €209.1 million in renovation and new construction at the Olympiastadion.
Tower: The stadium's 72m tower includes an observation deck offering panoramic views over Helsinki.
Accessibility: All public areas comply with EU accessibility directives to ensure usability for visitors with varied abilities.
Sustainability: The venue's two main levels generate about 15% of electricity via solar power; rainwater-harvesting systems were added during recent refurbishments.

Helsinki Olympic Stadium Seating Guide

Best seats at Helsinki Olympic Stadium

Side sections (Rows G–L) provide a good balance between price and proximity — clear views of the field or stage without excessive distance. From side seating you can follow the action and see performers' expressions provided you have average eyesight. For concerts, field-standing areas create a close, energetic atmosphere while seated sections directly facing the stage deliver better sightlines and sound balance.

VIP boxes and loge suites offer premium comfort and services, though they trade some of the raw crowd energy for more exclusive amenities. Upper tiers afford elevated perspectives that are valuable for understanding tactical patterns in sports or appreciating stage production at concerts.

Helsinki Olympic Stadium Seating Chart

The stadium's seating wraps around the track and field in concentric tiers across the four main zones. Concert configurations often place the stage at one end and use the infield for standing audiences, increasing capacity when permitted by safety regulations. Accessibility seating is integrated across lower sections with companion spaces to keep groups together. Consult official seating charts before purchase to confirm exact sightlines and entry points.

How to get to Helsinki Olympic Stadium

Nearby parking exists but fills quickly on major event days. Arrive early to secure a spot; peripheral parking often requires a short walk but can simplify exit after events. Check local parking fees and time restrictions — some areas may not accommodate longer events.
