# Wiener Eislaufverein Opens Season on November 5 October 30, 2026 at 02:16 PM > The Wiener Eislaufverein begins its new season with free entry on opening day as the club navigates renovations and rising ticket prices. The **Wiener Eislaufverein** officially opens its new season on November 5 at 3:00 PM. Located on **Lothringer Straße** near the **Stadtpark**, the facility is offering free entry to all visitors on opening day. President **Thomas Meixner** also announced a new board for hockey. While the toilets have been renovated, the facade, windows, and cloakroom still require urgent work. Major renovations are currently delayed due to the uncertain Heumarkt project. The site is owned by **Wertinvest**, while the club remains a tenant until 2056. Adult day tickets now cost 11.60 Euro on weekdays and 12.60 Euro on weekends. These price increases are driven by rising rent, energy, and personnel costs. To offset expenses, the club continues to generate revenue through various events during the summer. #WienerEislaufverein #ViennaIceSkating #ViennaEvents #Heumarkt #WinterSports ## Related news ## [Vienna Road Closures for Military Performance]() October 23, 2026 at 08:07 PM ## [Skipass Prices to Rise for 2026/27 Winter Season]() October 13, 2026 at 04:30 PM
