## Venue Dilemma Causes Ticket Sale Delay

**Jokerit**, the reigning champions of the Mestiksen league, have revealed a deferment in their season ticket sales. The announcement comes amid unresolved issues surrounding the location for the forthcoming season, which was expected to be confirmed by the end of May.

## Stakeholders in Negotiation Talks

In its official statement, Jokerit indicated ongoing productive discussions with multiple stakeholders. The club remains steadfast in its ambition to resolve venue negotiations swiftly, prioritizing a seamless commencement for their impending season.

## Past Season’s Logistic Challenges

The previous season saw Jokerit navigating split venues—Helsinki Ice Hall and Kerava Hall. Meanwhile, their historical arena, the former *Hartwall Arena*, is undergoing an overhaul and management restructuring.

## Operational Overhaul at Hartwall Arena

Transitioning to Finnish control last winter, the Hartwall Arena’s developments encompass significant refurbishments and new personnel influx, managed by the international event giant, *Live Nations*.

## Jokerit’s Recent Track Record

Last year’s ascent to the Mestiksen title was marred by their elimination by the Pelicans during the playoffs. With a vision for revitalization, Jokerit is laying a foundation for enhanced stability and success in the upcoming season.
