"Juventus" announced that all seated tickets for the first home game in Utena on June 9 are gone. "There are no more seats. We've added some standing room, but the arena isn't elastic – these are the last tickets," the club stated on social media. The Utena multifunctional sports center officially accommodates around 2,500 spectators, but attendance significantly increased during the semifinals, with over 3,000 fans watching the decisive games. The LKL final series commences in Kaunas on June 7. The teams will meet again in Utena on June 9, followed by a return to Kaunas on June 12.
