Thompson concert in Vukovar sees 80,000 tickets sold on first day
Marko Perković Thompson's upcoming concert in Vukovar, scheduled for August 29, has seen massive interest, with approximately 80,000 tickets sold within the first few hours of availability. The event, titled "Vukovar - Together for the Future," carries a humanitarian purpose; proceeds after costs will be donated to complete the Saleziunac student dormitory in Zagreb and support the "I ti si Vukovar" campaign for the construction of the 12 Croatian Policemen Stadium.
Organizers and the City of Vukovar, including Mayor Marijan Pavliček, have coordinated to ensure sufficient space and infrastructure for the expected crowd. The concert is promised to feature high-level production, including advanced lighting, sound effects, and a drone spectacle.
Ticket sales are being managed via the Sportify Events platform. Due to the high volume of simultaneous users, the system experienced occasional slowdowns, but organizers confirmed that sales have continued and that capacity remains available for interested attendees. The audience interest includes fans from both Croatia and abroad.
