The pole vault is one of the most riveting disciplines in athletics - and the ISTAF is no exception.

A group ticket for four people costs just 39 euros (plus 2 euros online booking fee) instead of the standard 56 euros. Offer closes on 31^st May 2013.

For over 90 years now the world's oldest and most popular one-day sports meeting has been hosting dramatic showdowns in all the core Olympic track and field disciplines. Over two million athletics fans have passed through the stadium gates since the Stadionfest was first held in 1921. Many more millions are familiar with the event from the international TV coverage.

In 2013, too, the organisers are anticipating a world-class field and will be aiming to attract all the champions and German medallists from Moscow 2013. The World Championships in the Russian capital will be the largest international athletics event of the year and will end two weeks before the ISTAF. At least 50,000 spectators are expected to pack the stands and witness 220 of the best athletes of the day competing in a minimum of 16 exciting disciplines.
