The team’s Christmas-themed jerseys will be getting their first of only two airings – make sure you come along for a closer look!
Tonight we hope that Planet Ice will be hosting the biggest Christmas party in Milton Keynes – with YOU as our guests of honour! Come along wearing your fancy dress or Christmas jumper (nice or naff!) and bring along your party poppers or Christmas crackers…..let us supply the action! And who needs temporary ice rinks for a seasonal skate when you can take to the ice just minutes after your heroes have played on it – every ticket holder can skate FREE after the game!
After you’ve had a skate, join the whole team in the Tag Taylor Bar for Christmas karaoke – the players will all be signing autographs and posing for photos and we know it’s going to be a great way to round off the evening!
Bring some extra cash with you tonight and buy tickets for our 50-50 draw – the prize is a guaranteed minimum of £500!!
All profits from all of our fundraising activities go direct to the Lightning to help meet ongoing running costs.
Don’t forget you can buy the Lightning Review matchnight programme, packed with information about both teams, for just £2 a copy at the Supporters’ Club stand at rinkside. This week pride of place on the cover goes to Grant McPherson, who came out of retirement for last Saturday’s game and helped us to a 6-1 win over Sheffield Steeldogs.
Don’t worry about having to rush to cook at home before you get to the rink – eat in the Tag Taylor Bar & Grill pre-game and you can also enjoy some of our special offers including …
– Free squash for kids
– 2 for £6.50 Brothers cider
– £2.50 for selected pints
– £3.00 for selected wines
– 20% off all Individual Papa John individual pizzas
– Gingerbread men, mulled wine and mince pies
If you’re with friends or family and fancy a bite during the game, the big Papa John Meal Deal will be available again – 2 medium pizzas, 1 garlic pizza stick, 1 sharing potato wedges and 4 drinks for just £19.99 – pre order at the Papa John desk in the box office and it’ll be ready from the collection point under block 5 (skate hire area) either in one of the period breaks or at the end of the game for you to take home.
Tickets are on sale from 8.30am today until face-off – but we recommend you buy early to make sure you get the view of your choice – and avoid box office queues later. Visit the box office in person, call 01908 540020 or view live availability by clicking here.
