G99 tickets 2026-27: Graz hockey with the defending champions
G99 play 26 home games at the Merkur Eisstadion in Graz in 2026-27, opening on 23 September 2026. This guide covers the defending champions, the stadium, the atmosphere, the KAC visits and how to plan tickets from near or far.
Why G99 is a must-see in Graz this season
Moser Medical Graz99ers, known as G99, are the defending champions: the official league feed shows that they beat HC Pustertal 4-0 in the 2026 final. Older reference pages may still list another champion, but the feed used here is the more current source.
The club was founded in 1999 according to league data, which makes it young compared with some neighbours. Graz itself is the capital of Styria, a university city with a well-preserved old town, so a hockey night joins easily to a city break.
G99: Merkur Eisstadion: a mid-sized home for champions
League data lists about 4,050 for the Merkur Eisstadion, a mid-sized hall where the seats stay close to the ice. A champion's season often means higher demand, so the best sections can disappear sooner than you expect.
Plan to arrive early, especially for bigger dates. Queues at the entrance and bars lengthen near puck drop, and getting in 45 to 60 minutes before the start gives you time to see the teams warm up.
G99 atmosphere: a champion's crowd
The Graz crowd carries the confidence of a recent title: loud when the home side presses, patient when the game is tight. Flags, drums and long chants fill the hall, and visiting fans can add to the noise.
If you come for the first time, you will notice how closely the supporters follow the game. Even without understanding the chants, the rhythm of the crowd is easy to join.
G99 and KAC: games to mark on the calendar
The meeting with EC-KAC, the traditional club from Klagenfurt in neighbouring Carinthia, has a regional edge. KAC visit the Merkur Eisstadion on 30 October 2026 and 27 December 2026.
The opening home game falls on 23 September 2026 and the last on 24 February 2027. The 27 December date comes in the holiday week, when many people travel, so it can be a good option for a festive weekend.
Buying G99 tickets: official box office first
Start with the club's official box office, where season ticket holders have priority. After the title, weekend games and the KAC fixtures are likely to sell first, whereas midweek games against smaller sides leave more time.
If a match is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces and verify the seat. Visitors from abroad should confirm mobile or paper delivery and plan their journey. Our email alert tells you when the G99 dates you want are worth acting on.
Graz is easy to reach by rail from Vienna and by road from Slovenia, and its airport handles regional connections. The old town is compact and pleasant on foot, so visitors can enjoy a full day before an evening faceoff.
Because the home side are defending champions, interest in dates can be higher than in a typical season. Build your trip around a weekend if possible, and decide on accommodation at the same time as your ticket.
