Share These tickets have been made available to serving members of the Armed Forces as well as veterans who have been medically discharged since 2001 by the generous donation of Hesco Bastion who supply our forces over in Afghanistan with Concertainer units.
Tickets for Troops have teamed up with a wide range of organisations offering our troops free tickets to enjoy an afternoon, evening or full day experience at many high profile events. Recently, these events have included The English National Ballet, The Masters Snooker and tickets to Premier League matches.
Raleigh Addington, Operations Director of Tickets for Troops, commented "It is a huge boost to the morale of the troops to have their commitment and dedication recognised in this way and we are thrilled to have the support from Hesco Bastion and Leeds Rhinos."
The charity was set up just over a year ago to provide members of the Armed Forces with free tickets for major sporting events including football, horse racing, rugby, darts and cricket matches as well as theatre performances, music concerts and cultural attractions. Since launching it has provided over 250,000 tickets and almost 85,000 troops have registered on the website - www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk
Patron Gary Lineker said "This is a terrific idea and it's important that we show respect for what the soldiers are doing out there and the sacrifice they have made".
Abigail Furniss, Head of Marketing for Leeds Rugby said. "We are delighted that Hesco Bastion has made these tickets available to the troops and we hope that many of our armed forces personnel will come along with their families and enjoy some thrilling rugby league action and a great day out at Headingley Carnegie Stadium.
Troops are encouraged to go online and register at www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk to take advantage of the fantastic tickets available for our Armed Forces.
