Newcastle Falcons are inviting fans to pack the Kingston Park Stadium stands at their European Rugby Challenge Cup fixture on November 22nd by announcing adult tickets in all areas of the ground will be priced at £10 and under 16s £5.

Aiming to capitalise on the success of the 2015 Rugby World Cup in Newcastle, further discounts apply to ticket holders from the matches at St James’ Park, with purchasers able to produce their match ticket stubs or proof of purchase able to buy adult tickets for £5 and under 16 tickets for £2.

For supporters wishing to take in the game and sample the award winning hospitality options at Kingston Park, a special £30 per person package will be available, offering a hot fork buffet main course and dessert, pre match welcome by Doddie Weir and post match access to the player’s lounge.

Season ticket holders, who have this game included in their memberships, can upgrade to the hospitality package for £20 before watching the game from their usual seat or terrace. Members can also by additional tickets for friends or family at the prices of £5 for adults and £2 for under 16s.

The first home match of the 2015/16 competition, the game will see the Falcons take on Russian champions Enisei STM, who are competing in the tournament for the first time after beating Romanian side CSM Baia Mare 63 – 32 on aggregate in the qualifying playoffs.

The Siberia based team’s squad includes Georgian centre Davit Kacharava, who was part of the team that played at Kingston Park Stadium in the summer along with a host of Russian internationals, ensuring the promise of a competitive game.

Managing Director Mick Hogan said: “After the success of Rugby World Cup in the city, we as a club want to build on the momentum that saw over 150,000 spectators actually go into St James’ Park and the tens of thousands who came to the fan zone.”

“Dusting off the rugby for a tenner promotion for a game against Enisei we hope, will allow us to show Kingston Park Stadium and the Falcons off to people who either haven’t been before, or for a while and get them to connect with the team.”

“We will have a squad packed with some of our most exciting local talents for this game, players like Tom Catterick, Chris Harris, George McGuigan and Michael Young and after this competition served up some of our most exciting games last season, it’s a perfect opportunity to promote the club.”
