Welford Road attendances will top the 350,000 mark when Leicester Tigers run out for the last home game of the regular campaign on Saturday.

The Aviva Premiership Round 22 match against top-of-the-table Saracens is a 24,000 sell-out, taking total league attendances to 251,000 this season at an average of 22,850.
 
Six matches have completely sold out and, adding the figures for home games in Europe and the LV= Cup fixtures, total attendances will reach 355,000 in 2013/14.
 
Tigers chief executive Simon Cohen said: “The support for Leicester Tigers continues to grow and to see more than 350,000 tickets sold for games at Welford Road is a tribute to the team and to the club.
 
“We had 15,000 season ticket sales this season, which is another record figure. Group sales bookings have reached record rates and tickets have been in demand well in advance of most fixtures.
 
“We are extremely grateful for that level of support for the team.
 
“Ticket revenues are the club’s top source of income  and, as everything we do as a business is with the aim of supporting the playing side on and off the pitch, supporters all play a significant part in the club’s achievements.”
 
More than 12,000 supporters have already secured their places for the 2014/15 season with a Tigers season ticket.
 
Season tickets include admission to all home league games in the Aviva Premiership regular season, pool fixtures in the new European Rugby Champions Cup and the Anglo-Welsh LV= Cup, plus a pre-season fixture at Welford Road. Prices represent entry to 17 fixtures for the price of just 12 when compared with matchday bookings.
 
There are also other benefits for season ticket holders, including priority booking for away games and any knockout fixtures, the opportunity to apply for international tickets and Tigers Store discounts every time you shop. There is also the convenience of knowing your place is waiting for you every matchday.
