Supporters groups more evenly distributed in the stands

This year DCE hopes to welcome both supporters groups of corps and individual corps drum corps fans to the DCE European Championships again. One change has been made: the supporters groups will be more evenly distributed in the stands.

For years, a number of corps has brought along a large group of loyal supporters to the DCE Championships, and this year even more corps seem to be doing this. Drum Corps Europe is, of course, very pleased about this, because the fuller the stand, the more people can enjoy the top acts on the field. DCE’s survey held last year after the DCE Championships showed that many drum corps fans felt that the 'blocks' with hundreds of supporters were very large, and perhaps somewhat intimidating.

DCE would like everyone to have a great experience of the DCE Championships, and that is why supporters groups will be divided into blocks of up to 50 people. In this way, supporters will remain surrounded by other people from their corps, but is there a better distribution in the stands.

Ticket sales for the DCE European Championships will kick off next Thursday the 1st of May at 9 pm European time (CET) / 8 pm UK/Irish time (UTC). From that point onwards, the online ticket shop will be open.
