EURO 2008 - Fan Curve & ZDFarena at the Lake Constance

In Bregenz, exact in the border triangle Austria-Germany-Switzerland, the world's largest floating stage formed the spectactular backdrop for two giant screens, that were fitted into the stage scenery of the opera "Tosca". All 31 matches were broadcasted live, in Dolby Surround, for some 5,000 spectators, in a dazzling natural scenery. A entertainement programm for the whole family made it a perfect event!

What is the ZDFarena? Johannes B. Kerner, Jürgen Klopp and Urs Meier broadcasted directly from Bregenz lakeside stage on all match days covered by the German Broadcasting Corporation ZDF. About 200.000 visitors came to see the matches at this extraordinary public viewing.

The online bought tickets, will be directly transmitted as a PDF file to the computer of the customer, who can print them easily. Therefore no shipping costs arise. The barcode on the ticket is used for the legitimation. At the entrance to the public viewing, the arena tickets will be checked by mobile control terminals.
