There are standing areas in every arena in Austria ...
... standing areas yes, but in vienna not for away fans. away fans in the albert schulz halle are in a special sector behind their team. this sector is variable in size (due to the purchased away-tickets 50- 250 people) and this sector is a seating sector. you can of course stand there, as the most away fans do, but it is not so convenient, compared to the standing area. the good thing for the away-fans is, that one of the four buffets (with the beer!!!) is straight behind the away-area. but be carefull, the prices are not really "polite". get drunken in the vienna hockey stadium is a very expensive pleasure!
the reason for this new area (before this change two years ago, the away sector was in the standing area behind the guest team's goal), was a better security-situation there and the fact, that the vienese fans were heavily demanding the whole (cheaper) tickets of the standing-area, which is behind both goals. for away fans (in groups or dressed as an away fan) it is not easy to purchase those tickets, as the standing-sectors are mostly sold out to abos. as you can imagine, this was heavily critizized by the away-fans, but it is (and it will be) the fact.
a stadium map for your away-sector in vienna you can find on http://www.vienna-capitals.at
i am looking forward to see the loud, enthusiastic (and hopefully peacefull) slovenian crowd in vienna!
