Free Buses and Open Gates as Skagerak Arena Courts Fans for Run-In
Skagerak Arena has launched a new supporter initiative offering free buses and open gates ahead of Odd Ballklubb's remaining home fixtures this autumn. The move is aimed at maximising attendance as Odd push for promotion in the 2026 1. Divisjon season. The stadium, which holds 13,500, already offers free entry for under-18s and reduced prices for a range of other groups.
Free Buses and Open Gates
Skagerak Arena has announced a fan-friendly initiative for the final stretch of Odd Ballklubb's 2026 home season, with free buses and open gates being made available to supporters. The move is designed to boost attendance as Odd chase promotion in the 1. Divisjon, and reflects the club's commitment to making matchdays as accessible as possible.
The stadium already offers free entry for under-18s, as well as concession rates for seniors, students, and supporters with disabilities — and the latest initiative builds on that inclusive approach.
Filling the Stands for the Run-In
With a capacity of 13,500, Skagerak Arena is one of the larger grounds in Norway's second tier, and the club is clearly keen to fill it during a defining phase of the season. Odd currently occupy fourth place in the table, with home fixtures against Egersund, Bryne, Strømmen, and Sandnes Ulf still to come before the end of the campaign.
A strong home atmosphere has been a feature of Odd's season, and the free bus and open gate offer is intended to ensure as many supporters as possible make the trip to the ground in Skien for the crucial autumn run-in.
