Viking FK Warns Fans Over Illegal Ticket Resale
Viking FK has issued an official warning to supporters about the illegal resale of tickets ahead of today's home Eliteserien clash with Lillestrom at Lyse Arena. With demand running high following a sensational run of home form, the club is urging fans to use only authorised channels. Tickets bought elsewhere may not be valid for entry.
Ticket Warning Ahead of Today's Match
With a blockbuster Eliteserien fixture against Lillestrom taking place at Lyse Arena on Sunday, Viking FK has issued an important reminder to supporters about the illegal resale of match tickets. The club published the notice on 17 September, urging fans to purchase only through official channels and warning of the risks associated with buying from unauthorised third-party sellers.
Viking's home attendances have surged this season, with the 8-1 win over Kristiansund last weekend drawing 15,659 through the turnstiles. High demand for tickets has made the resale market more active, prompting the club to act proactively ahead of one of the most anticipated home matches of the campaign.
What Supporters Need to Know
The club's message is straightforward: tickets purchased through unofficial sources may be invalid, leaving fans unable to enter the stadium on matchday. Lyse Arena has a capacity of 16,600, and with Viking firmly in the title race, today's match against Lillestrom is expected to draw a large crowd.
Support staff will be on hand at the ground to assist supporters who encounter any issues on arrival. Viking FK continues to encourage all fans to secure their seats via the official ticket platform to guarantee entry and ensure the best possible matchday experience.
Staying Safe at Lyse Arena
Beyond today's fixture, the warning reflects the club's broader commitment to safe and fair access for all supporters. Officials have stressed that only tickets obtained through verified outlets carry the guarantee of authenticity — a message the club plans to repeat in the build-up to future high-profile home games as the season reaches its climax.
