  • The running track makes the lower rows quite far from the pitch. For concerts, choose the floor or the sides near the stage.
  • The roof covers the seats, the floor is open to the sky.
  • The sector numbers are printed at the gates. Follow them, as walking around inside is slow.

  • Günstig

    Upper tier behind the goals

Opens for the Workers' Olympiad

Die ganze Geschichte lesen

The Praterstadion opened in 1931 for the Workers' Olympiad, a sports festival of the labour movement. It was one of the most modern stadiums of its time, and Austria's Wunderteam played here.

It hosted four European Cup finals, from Inter's win over Real Madrid in 1964 to Ajax beating Milan in 1995. A roof was added in 1986, and in 1992 the stadium was renamed after Ernst Happel, Austria's most successful coach.

After hosting the Euro 2008 final, the stadium became Vienna's top concert venue. In August 2024, all three of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows here were cancelled after police foiled a terror plot.
