| Final sells out in less than 30 minutes |
The Davis Cup continues to show its unrivalled popularity with tickets for the final selling out in under half an hour.
The rush started on Monday morning and means that Russia and the USA will do battle in front of a capacity crowd of 12,000 at the Memorial Coliseum, Portland, Oregon. This is the arena’s first sell-out for a sporting event in seven years.
“I think they could have sold it out just based on the USTA members – the demand for tickets was so great. So we’re really excited and looking forward to playing in from of a full house in Portland,” said USA captain Patrick McEnroe.
“The stage is set for a memorable event – a classic match between our top American team and the defending champions from Russia,” said Arlen Kantarian, Chief Executive Officer, Pro Tennis, USTA. “This is the first Davis Cup final in the U.S. in 15 years, and we are thrilled that we’ll have sold-out patriotic crowd supporting our team”.
The only tickets available for public sale now, will be through independent brokers or internet re-sales sites.
