In the stadium, catering outlets have been opened on the inner circulation, where food and drinks can be purchased. Hot snacks can be purchased at the catering units with a deep fryer. Supporters can go to one of the containers for cold drinks. It is only possible to pay for purchases in Euroborg with PIN.
Maximum capacity
For security reasons, a maximum of 15,000 supporters are allowed to attend the ceremony in Euroborg on Sunday. This mainly has to do with the escape routes in the event of an emergency. The lower ring of the stadium is open, with supporters also having access to the field to take a place around the stage if desired.
For the ceremony: full = full. Entrance tickets will be provided at the stadium entrances. As soon as these are no longer available, the maximum capacity of 15,000 visitors has been reached.
