PIV tickets 2026-27: Vorarlberg hockey in Feldkirch
PIV play 26 home games at the Vorarlberghalle in Feldkirch in 2026-27, opening on 18 September 2026. This guide covers a young club, the hall, the western Austrian setting, the Innsbruck fixtures and how to plan tickets.
Why PIV is worth following in western Austria
Pioneers Vorarlberg were founded in 2022 according to league data, making them the youngest club among the fourteen. That makes this a team still building its tradition, and a visit now means seeing how a new hockey identity forms in real time.
The club represents Vorarlberg, the smallest state in western Austria, from Feldkirch. The setting between mountains and the Rhine valley gives the evening a regional character that large-city clubs do not offer.
PIV: Vorarlberghalle: about 5,200 seats in Feldkirch
League data lists about 5,200 for the Vorarlberghalle, a good-sized room for a small town. The hall has room for a full atmosphere, but regular games may not fill it, which helps visitors who want a good seat without long planning.
Arrive early on busy dates so that you can find the entrance and a place for food and drink. Because Feldkirch is a smaller town, getting there by public transport requires a plan, particularly late at night.
PIV atmosphere: a young crowd in a new tradition
The fan base is growing, and the sound can be lively when the arena fills for important fixtures. Flags, drums and chants set the mood, and the relaxed side of regional hockey means visitors rarely feel out of place.
If you are new to ice hockey, this is a friendly place to start. The game is fast, the crowd is close and the pressure of a massive stadium is absent.
PIV against Innsbruck: the western Austrian meetings
The closest regional meeting is against HC TIWAG Innsbruck, the Tyrolean side. The Haie visit the Vorarlberghalle on 25 November 2026 and 4 December 2026, only nine days apart.
If you want to see both teams in a short trip, combine the PIV date with a visit to Innsbruck on 30 September or 28 December. The opening night, 18 September 2026, is also a natural choice for supporters who like a season start.
Buying PIV tickets: official box office first
Start with the club's official box office, where season ticket holders have priority. Weekend dates and the Innsbruck fixtures go first, while midweek games against smaller sides are usually easier to arrange later.
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 PIV dates you want are worth acting on.
Feldkirch lies in the far west of Austria, close to the borders with Liechtenstein and Switzerland, so many visitors arrive from outside the country. Rail links along the Rhine valley are good, and a car is not essential for a short stay in the town.
If you plan a longer trip, the Lake Constance region and the Alps are within reach, which makes a PIV game a natural evening in a wider holiday. Check the weather forecast and the last train home before you set off, as winter conditions in the mountains can change the plan.
