This is the only Sunday NRL match scheduled at Mt Smart Stadium in 2018 so you’ll want to be front and centre when the star-studded reigning premiers the Melbourne Storm line up against the Vodafone Warriors. Be there as both teams put it all on the line on a day that will double as New Zealand’s biggest sports charity day. A Vodafone Warriors v Melbourne Storm is a ‘must-see’ for any sports fan and with tickets to suit every budget, we’ve got you covered.

This Sunday will be the busiest game day programme of the season so far with a range of activities and attractions built around ‘The Great Vodafone Warriors Charity Day’ alongside a football triple header featuring the club’s NRL, Instrust Super Premiership and Jersey Flegg Cup teams in action.

Members and fans attending the occasion will all be helping the Vodafone Warriors in their bid to fill the stadium. If it is sold out, the club will donate $50,000 to be shared among the day’s beneficiaries Shine, KidsCan, Paralympics New Zealand and Ronald McDonald House Charities. Sponsor Mitre 10 has also made a pledge on the basis of the attendance numbers while other sponsors and stakeholders are contributing in various ways.

Vodafone Warriors players and football staff have also climbed aboard by donating items and experiences which are being auctioned off or used in a monster game day raffle.

Suzuki has put up a Suzuki Vitara for a DROPIT auction at halftime in the main game while DROPIT will also auction a Vodafone Warriors fan pack during the break.

The well-established Woodstock ‘Kick for Cash’ will be another halftime attraction.

Vodafone Warriors members and fans can keep topping up the fund-raising drive by using the Vodafone text-a-donation service. By texting WARRIORS to 4483 you’ll be providing $3.00 to the fund-raising campaign (you can text as many times as you like).
