Figure image
It's Semi-Final Saturday at Welford Road this weekend as Leicester Tigers and Harlequins go head to head with a place in the Twickenham Final at stake. Kick-off is at 3pm and tickets are available now.

After 22 rounds of Aviva Premiership Rugby competition, it is now down to four clubs in the knockout stages, and only two can make it to the Final at the national rugby stadium, at Twickenham on Saturday, May 25.

Turnstiles for the match, and all bars and food kiosks, including Domino’s Ready 2 Go pizza, Flaming Good Burger, Frank’s New York Street Hot-Dogs and Henry’s Chicken, open at 1pm.
There are also hot pork rolls in the Final Whistle and in the ABC Bar in the Holland & Barrett Stand.

The ticket office and club store are open from 9am and there are extra merchandise units in the Caterpillar Stand when the turnstiles are opened.

The Junior Tigers Club area in Final Whistle is open from 1pm with games and acitivities organised for young supporters. And don’t forget to visit the Crusha Milkshake bar – you might even meet one of the Tigers players helping to mix the milkshakes and answer your questions about being a professional rugby player.

There is a lucky draw opportunity for young supporters to lead the teams out as a matchday mascot or join the Tigers Club pre-match parade and the chance to meet some of the Tigers players.

Club sponsors Kerrygold and Holland & Barrett will have some great giveaways for supporters on the way to the game too.

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.

This week’s 100-page match programme includes interviews supporter tributes to club captain Geordan Murphy, a view of the occupational hazards of playing in the back row from supporters’ player of the year Julian Salvi and all the news and views from inside Welford Road. And don’t miss George Chuter’s final Inside Line column of the season. The programme is available throughout the stadium, price £3.

We’re delighted that the Matt Hampson Foundation will be sharing the Saturday’s big match. Foundation raffle tickets are available around the stadium, including from programme-sellers, and you can find out more about Walk4Matt and the Foundation’s Summer Ball.

There is live mnusic after the game with resident band Rock Bottom in Final Whistle.

The Tigers ticket office is open for 2013/14 season ticket sales, and there is an extra ticket office in The Maul unit inside the stadium. If you are a current season ticket holder, your place is held until May 17, after which date all unsold seats will be released for general sales.
