Big disappointment: Multisport event 2025 in Pörtschach canceled!

A major setback for the popular multisport event in Carinthia: The long-standing main sponsor A1 has surprisingly announced its withdrawal for 2025. This decision, which was made at short notice, means that a significant part of the budget for the event is lost. “Unfortunately, under these circumstances we cannot guarantee the usual high quality of our event,” said Hannes Jagerhofer, the event organizer. Therefore, the event including the beach volleyball tournament planned for July 22nd to 27th, 2025 in Pörtschach and Velden has now been canceled and postponed to 2026, as reported ots.at reported.

Refunds and plans for the future

Tickets that have already been purchased will of course be refunded and information on how to process this will be provided in the coming days. Jagerhofer emphasized that the event should be held again in 2026 with new partnerships and on a viable and sustainable basis. Sponsors such as Wayne Griffiths from SEAT and CUPRA and Daniel Wüstner from RAUCH Fruchtsäfte also expressed their regret about the cancellation, but are optimistic about the upcoming event next year.

In an increasingly competitive events business, choosing the right ticketing platform is crucial to streamlining the sales process. Potential organizers should take strategic approaches to ensure they appeal to a broad audience. Leveraging early ticket sales and tailored ticket pricing models can significantly increase sales, while an engaging event page and effective marketing strategies help put the event in the spotlight, as shown on swoogo.events mentioned. These findings show how important it is for future events to be well prepared in order to mitigate possible setbacks and maintain viewer interest.
