Admiral Tickets 2026-27: Home Games Guide
Admiral is the KHL club of Vladivostok, Russia's Pacific port city and the league's easternmost base. Home games at Fetisov Arena, listed at 6,000 seats, offer a distinctive far-east hockey trip for adventurous fans. Our email alert tells you when home dates are out.
Admiral Vladivostok: hockey at the Pacific edge
Vladivostok sits on the Pacific coast, far from Moscow, and Admiral represents it among the KHL's most distant clubs. The team has become a point of regional pride, and a game there is as much about the setting as the hockey: hills, harbour views and a different feel from the western part of the league.
Fetisov Arena: Admiral's home
Home games are played at Fetisov Arena, named after the hockey figure Slava Fetisov and listed at 6,000 seats. The mid-sized arena gives a good atmosphere and a close view. Distances are significant, so travellers should treat the match as part of a longer Far East itinerary rather than a short city break.
Local time is several hours ahead of Moscow, so adjust your body clock and any broadcast plans.
Admiral supporters and the Far East rivalry
The crowd is local and committed. The most keenly felt fixtures are against Amur Khabarovsk, the other Far Eastern club, with supporters from both teams treating the games as a regional contest. Visiting teams from the west face long journeys, which adds to the sense that Vladivostok is a tough place to play.
Admiral tickets: planning a long-haul trip
Use the club's official box office, and book early for the Amur matches and weekend dates. Our email alert tells you when the schedule is released, which is essential because flights to the far east are expensive and planning takes time.
- Check for visa and travel rules well in advance.
- Book flights as early as the schedule allows.
Admiral and a Vladivostok stay
Vladivostok mixes Russian, maritime and Asian influences, with a waterfront, naval history and bridges across the bay. Allow at least three nights so you can handle the time difference and see the city. A weekend game fits neatly, and the nearby coast gives options for day trips if the weather allows.
Note that the time difference with Europe is large, so live viewing back home happens at unusual hours, and your own body clock will need a day or two to adjust. Pack for variable coastal weather: wind off the sea can make evenings feel colder than the forecast suggests.
The city's hills and bridges make for steep walks, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. Seafood is a local strength, and a dinner near the waterfront is an easy way to round off an evening at the hockey.
