"Vityaz" Ice Palace, Podolsk

Vityaz Ice Palace is a multifunctional cultural and sports complex in Podolsk, occupying a 5.1-hectare site. Built in 2000, it was recognized as the country’s best sports facility that same year. The main ice arena accommodates 5,500 spectators, including 100 VIP seats. The complex also includes a training ice rink, a sports hall, a gym, tennis courts, and other facilities. It serves as the home arena of Vityaz Hockey Club.

The project required online sales of tickets and season passes, along with tools for Vityaz Hockey Club to manage individual sales, reservations, quotas, and group bookings.


Infomatika was responsible for the following tasks:

• Automate Vityaz Hockey Club’s ticketing processes.
• Organize online sales of tickets and season passes.
• Enable management of individual sales, reservations, quotas, and group bookings.
• Expand ticket distribution across multiple sales channels.
• Organize ticket validation at entrances.
• Establish server infrastructure and automated staff workstations.

Infomatika equipped Vityaz Ice Palace with the LENTA ticketing and access control hardware and software system and deployed a ticketing system for Vityaz Hockey Club. The solution automated the club’s core ticket and season pass processes, enabling sales through its own and external channels.

Key Project Components

• LENTA Ticketing and Access Control System. Automates ticket and season pass sales and supports the management of reservations, quotas, and group bookings.
• Online Ticket Store. Developed and launched on Vityaz Hockey Club’s website for online sales of tickets and season passes.
• Linea PRO Mobile Terminals. Used to validate tickets by scanning barcodes and reading contactless cards.

Integration

The ticketing system supports multiple sales channels. Tickets can be sold through the Vityaz Ice Palace box offices, the club’s online store, the Rambler-Kassa ticketing platform, and additional connected channels, including ticket operators, city ticket offices, websites using an embedded widget, and mobile applications.

A shared ticket inventory is available across all connected channels without allocating quotas to individual sales channels in advance.
