Fan Zhendong Sparks Ticket Frenzy in Germany – Saarbrücken Adds Temporary Stands! 🏓🔥

Olympic champion Fan Zhendong has already created a massive wave of excitement in Germany following his move to TTC Saarbrücken.

The club announced that tickets for its first two home matches of the new TTBL season – against TTC Schwalbe Bergneustadt and Borussia Dortmund – sold out almost instantly. To meet the overwhelming demand, Saarbrücken decided to install temporary stands for the first three home games. Additionally, an onsite ticket office will be set up to give local fans a fair chance to buy tickets.

The 28-year-old Fan, who joined Saarbrücken in June, will make his German league debut on August 31. German media highlight that his arrival has completely transformed the atmosphere. Last season, the club attracted around 400 to 600 spectators per home game. But with Fan on board, the 2,000-seat arena is already selling out a month in advance. The club has even hinted at the possibility of moving certain matches to a larger venue to accommodate the growing crowds.

“The club is being overwhelmed because of the new signing of Fan. We are already receiving countless ticket inquiries, including many from Asia,” Nicolas Barrois, Saarbrücken’s head of organization, told ZDF earlier this summer.

Fan Zhendong secured both men’s singles and team gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, becoming the 11th player in history to achieve a career Grand Slam – Olympic Games, World Championships, and World Cup.
