Back in November last year I posted a heads-up that the Mediterranean Games (Giochi del Mediterraneo) were coming to Pescara. All the details are available on the official site, where you’ll find the calendar of events.
There is a selection of sports that should suit all sports fans. The Beach Volleyball seems like a winner to me!
But if the range of sports was not enough to excite fans, then surely the news that the tickets for many events are free is a fantastic bonus. I’ve been keeping an eye on the official site and this news release appeared in the last few days. Now my Italian is far from fluent, but I believe headline says “Online ticket service and free games except for the finals of team events and the swimming finals”. That seems like a really good deal to me!
I have not translated the entire news item, but I take confidence from another source. A recent post to the Pescara section of the Tripadvisor Abruzzo forum by member TyroneSlothrop (a great forum for Abruzzo trip advice) says “All events will be free except for swimming finals and team play events. The tickets for the opening ceremony will be at a price from €15 to €60, depending on the sector of the stadium. Tickets will be available from the official site” .
I’m sure there’ll be great interest in the games, so I’d appreciate it if someone could translate the text of the news item and post as a comment to this blog. Just to make sure I’m not making a big mistake. There is also the possibility that the free events are ticketed to ensure that they are not over-subscribed. I’ll post if I find out more.
