The VELUX EHF FINAL4 Countdown<br />

The clock is ticking: the threshold of 100 days to go until the throw-off of the VELUX EHF FINAL4 has<br />

already come and gone. Already more than 17,000 fans have booked their seats for the 2011/12 VELUX<br />

EHF Champions League season highlight on 26 and 27 May in the LANXESS arena, Cologne. 2000<br />

further tickets are reserved for the four participating teams.<br />

The remaining tickets are available via the ticket hotline +49 221 280 288 and at www.ehfFINAL4.com.<br />

In addition to peak sporting performances, ticket holders can also look forward to other highlights<br />

during the event. A notable coup was landed in terms of entertainment as the legendary Swedish rock<br />

band EUROPE will be rocking the VELUX EHF FINAL4. The performance from them will be one of the<br />

highlights of a weekend of sporting excellence. Their top-selling single ‘The Final Countdown’ forms<br />

part of almost every international sports event. Fans can look forward to hearing the band and their<br />

hits before the final, during the winners’ ceremony as well as during the official Players’ Night on<br />

Sunday.<br />

“We are very enthusiastic about bringing EUROPE live to the LANXESS arena. Our aim is to rock the<br />

crowd and to present the world with a spectacular mix of entertainment and top-class handball,” said<br />

Peter Vargo, Managing Director of EHF Marketing GmbH.<br />

Charity partner Deutsche Krebshilfe<br />

EHF Marketing GmbH has also announced a new partnership with Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer<br />

Help), which is to be the new charity partner of the VELUX EHF FINAL4. The partnership will see the<br />

organisation of a VELUX EHF FINAL4 Charity Golf Tournament – powered by adidas - on Friday 25 May<br />

2012 in Cologne.<br />

Keen golfers will be able to buy tickets for the chance to play with Stefan Lövgren, the VELUX EHF<br />

FINAL4 Ambassador, and many more celebrities. EHFM expects to donate around €30,000 to Deutsche<br />

Krebshilfe and the fight against cancer.<br />

"Sports events such as the VELUX EHF FINAL4 with nearly 40,000 enthusiastic visitors over a<br />

weekend give Deutsche Krebshilfe the chance to reach a young audience with our prevention<br />

message. In addition, proceeds from a share of ticket sales, charity auction and golf tournament will<br />

help us to improve cancer care,” said Gerd Nettekoven, General Manager of Deutsche Krebshilfe.
