Cost explosion in Weißwasser: Eisarena increased fees drastically!

Weißwasser, Deutschland - The Eisarena Weißwasser has put a new fee schedule in force since July 1, 2023, which is more stressful for daycare centers, schools and clubs. This decision came after a decision by the city council of Weißwasser, which took place on June 28, 2023 and was adopted with two abstentions. In addition to the new prices for the use of the ice hockey area, which is accompanied by a past increase due to increased energy costs, the introduction of energy-saving LED lighting in the arena ensures discussions. This measure is intended to reduce energy costs by up to 40 percent, reports the Saxon.

The new fees are part of a comprehensive new regulation that particularly affects the training and playing companies in the Eisarena. Users of the ice hockey area are divided into four tariff groups, with different fees for different user categories. Kitas and schools are faced with an increase of the fee of 130 euros to 143 euros per hour. For children and adolescents from the Weißwasser ice sports club (ESW) and other non -profit associations, the fee increases from 25 euros to 27.50 euros per hour. The fees of the adult athletes have also increased from 140 euros to 154 euros, and for other sports business, the new fee is 176 euros instead of 160 euros.

price increases and their effects

The increase in fees did not take place without resistance. An application that demanded the withdrawal of the increase for daycare centers and schools was rejected. Institutions such as the "Pfiffikus" daycare center in Weißwasser as well as several schools in loop and white water are affected by the new fees. The fees, on the other hand, for gymnastics and traditional rooms remain unchanged, which is a small relief for some users.

In addition to the adjustments for training mode, new fees apply to the game. Here children and adolescents continue to pay 27.50 euros per hour. In the future, adults will have to expect 198 euros for their uses, while the other sport costs 231 euros per hour. Here, as reported by the official website of the Eisarena, the city council could not see any exceptions to the price increase.

Individual ice skating continues to be cheap

Nonetheless, individual ice skating in the ice arena remains free of charge. If you need a ticket, you only have to pay 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for children and young people. There are also reduced tariffs for families with a social passport that allow the ice arena to continue to use for sporting activities.

Developments in the Eisarena ensure that sporting activities will continue to focus in the future. Even if the topic of price adjustment is controversial, Weißwasser remains a place for sports and leisure, where young and old can go on the ice together.
