Tickets for the Matt Burke Farewell Game versus top Australian side Western Force will go on sale on Thursday 19th June with big discounts for those fans booking early.

Furthermore there will be a special offer for 2008/09 season ticket holders as a thank-you for their continued support.

The Perth based Super 14 team kick off their UK tour with a game against the Falcons at Kingston Park on Friday 8th August (kick off 8.00pm).  The game will give Falcons fans a chance to say goodbye to Aussie Legend Matt Burke who was forced to announce his retirement from the game last month.  Burke will attend the game on his final week in England, speak to the fans at half time and be available to chat to supporters in the West Stand bar post game.

Adult tickets will start at just £15 for all seats and £10 for terrace for those fans booking prior to 5th July.  For all season ticket holders there is the added bonus of a free ticket for every two tickets purchased.  Prices will then increase slightly for the remainder of July before reverting to normal match prices from 1st August.

Commercial Director Mick Hogan commented

"We believe the prices are very attractive for all fans to attend what will be a great event.  This is first ever time we have played Western Force and it looks like being a fascinating battle between two very contrasting styles of play.  With Burkey also going to be present it promises to be a fantastic, if somewhat emotional evening. 

"The man is an absolute legend both on and off the field and I hope as many supporters as possible are available to say thanks and farewell to Matt for the last four years.  The advice to all fans is book early as we are anticipating a big crowd and as usual the earlier you book the better your seat will be."

The West, East and South Stands are open on the evening with the North being opened as required
