With just over three months to go until the Vitality Netball Superleague gets underway, Loughborough Lightning are pleased to announce that tickets for all 2016 fixtures are now on sale.
Getting their campaign underway on ‘Super Saturday’ at the Genting Arena Birmingham (formerly known at the NEC), Loughborough Lightning, like all of the other Superleague teams, will play their first game on Saturday 30th January.
Following this festival of netball in Birmingham, Lightning will travel to Hertfordshire Mavericks before three back-to-back home games against Celtic Dragons, Manchester Thunder and Surrey Storm.
After multiple sell-outs during the 2015 season, crowd capacity has been increased for 2016, with six out of seven home games taking place in the Sir David Wallace Arena. Allocated seating will be available at all home games in 2016, as well as the introduction of premium seating, with a free upgrade available to all season ticket holders.
With ticket prices remaining the same as in 2015 and early-bird season tickets also available, now is the perfect time to ensure you’ll be getting behind Loughborough during the season ahead. Game tickets start from just £8 for a full paying adult, with season tickets just £35 until the 30th November.
