However, from Monday 29th May until Friday 2nd June there are still seats available; high class play will be on offer and the world’s best will be on duty for much of this period.

Time and again the rounds leading to the semi-finals produce some of the most dramatic and intense action; win a round of last 16 match and medal hopes are still alive, win a quarter-final contest and a medal is assured.

Furthermore, a World Championships is an opportunity to promote the sport of table tennis; an athletic sight beholds the eyes; it can be a catalyst for young people.

Thus the organisers for the Liebherr 2017 World Championships are making a special concession; the “Under 18 Offer”.

It is free admission for all young people under the age of 18 years for the first four days of the tournament; Monday 29th May to Thursday 1st June.

All under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult, who must purchase a ticket; however, a group of children may be accompanied by one adult.

It is an opportunity for a coach to bring young players to watch high level play.
