You won't miss any of the action this Saturday

Figure image
Welford Road hosts non-stop rugby action this Saturday with live TV coverage of the RBS 6 Nations followed by Leicester Tigers against Saracens in a top-of-the-table encounter in the Aviva Premiership.

Visitors Saracens are in second place in the Aviva Premiership table, with Tigers in third, going into this Round 16 fixture which is a repeat of the 2010 and 2011 Premiership Finals and last season’s semi-final.

Kick-off is at 8pm.

The afternoon’s rugby begins with Italy against Wales in the Six Nations at 2.30pm, with England against France at 5pm. Both games will be shown live on a big screen in the Final Whistle in the Caterpillar Stand.

Bars and food kiosks in the rest of the stadium and the turnstiles open at 6pm, with TV coverage of the England match continuing in the bars and public areas.

The Junior Tigers Club VIP Area in Final Whistle will also be open all afternoon (2pm-7.45pm) with games and activities for young supporters as well as the Crusha Milkshake bar and a draw for one lucky JTC member to help lead out the teams as a matchday mascot.

The Tigers Club Store is open all day and there are extra shop units inside the stadium.

All five matchday bus services run in conjunction with Arriva will be in operation, from Market Harborough, Oakham, Nuneaton, Market Bosworth and Coalville. For more details and this week’s timetable, click here.

Stay after the match and enjoy live music from resident band Rock Bottom in Final Whistle.

Tickets for Saturday are available now. The ticket office is open 8.30am-5pm all week and until 8pm on Wednesday, and from 9am on matchday for ticket sales.

The collection point for pre-ordered tickets is the unit outside the ticket office in the corner of the Caterpillar Stand plaza.

Supporters can upgrade any junior season tickets to adults for free.

This fixture became an 8pm kick-off after selection for live TV broadcast by ESPN, but if you hold season tickets for under-10s or juniors, or for children as part of a Tigers family season ticket, the club will exchange these for adult tickets free of charge so you can enjoy the match with family and friends if kick-off is too late for younger members. 

We hope this is another way for the Tigers family to get the most out of their season tickets.

To upgrade a Junior season ticket for this game, please phone the Tigers ticket office on 0844 856 1880 (option 2).

Please note that all upgrades will require the issue of a replacement paper ticket.
