Season Ticket cards will not be active and cannot be used to gain entry on Saturday. 25/26 Season Ticket Holders who are yet to claim their FREE ticket must do so before matchday. Here's how:
Sign in on the ticketing website using your Tigers Reference Number [TRN] and click through to the pre-season fixture to purchase tickets to the game. There will be price options when selecting individual seats in the Tradeview Markets Stand, which will be:
- Adult
- Under 18
- Adult (Season Ticket Holder)
- Under 18 (Season Ticket Holder)
Each Season Ticket Holder will be allowed to purchase 1 x Season Ticket Holder ticket. If you are purchasing for more than one Season Ticket Holder, you need to assign each individual Season Ticket Holder ticket to each individual.
Season Ticket Holders can then purchase as many additional paid-for tickets as they would like.
Please note: The stadium map will not allow tickets to be purchased anywhere; supporters will only be able to select seats in the Tradeview Markets Stand, where there is one price for all seats.
For non-Season Ticket Holders, you can purchase a place HERE.
Turnstiles operating for this fixture are: 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16.
BEFORE THE GAME
Get down to the ground early to watch back-to-back Women's Rugby World Cup matches on the big screens in the Final Whistle bar. Open from midday, you can see Canada take on Scotland before, at 1.30pm, the USA play Samoa.
The Final Whistle bar and Plaza offers plenty of pre-game fuelling and hydrating options, while there is also something for the youngsters to enjoy outside on the Plaza from midday with our inflatables.
At 1.30pm, the matchday squad and coaching team will make the walk from the voco Hotel, across the Plaza, and into the stadium through the main entrance. Get yourself in a prime spot early to help hype up the side ahead of the game.
AFTER THE MATCH
Players will make their way down the front of the Tradeview Markets Stand after the game, for selfies and signatures, almost immediately after full-time. Please make sure to stay behind the LED boards and off the pitch.
Once the players head back in to start their recovery and begin preparations for the PREM Cup, supporters can enjoy even more rugby with England and Australia facing off in the Women's Rugby World Cup at 5pm - which will be live on the big screens in the Final Whistle bar.
