Ronnie O’Sullivan’s exhibition matches in Finland sold out internationally amazingly quickly.
2,000 tickets in three minutes. The border laundry of 3,000 tickets broke in the stem.
The most successful snooker player of all time Ronnie O’Sullivan’s arrival in Finland aroused unprecedented interest among Finnish fans of the sport.
Finland’s only professional player Robin Hull told earlier this month that O’Sullivan will play two exhibition matches in Tampere on the 4th-5th. June. Game days are Tuesday and Wednesday.
The sports legend who recently won the Masters tournament and the UK Championship is coming to Finland for the first time.
It made Finnish snooker fans act quickly in purchasing tickets.
The pace was so fast that O’Sullivan’s manager, who has seen everything in the sport Jason Francis was amazed. Francis contacted Hull and offered to extend O’Sullivan’s visit.
Hull confirms to Urheilu that O’Sullivan will play an extra exhibition match in addition to the already agreed days. It will be played on Monday, June 3, like other matches, in the 1,900-seat Tampere Hall.
A more detailed schedule will be revealed later on Friday.
