A $15 ticket is on sale for the first home game of the 2018 NRL season against Gold Coast. Kick off is at 5pm.
The Warriors will donate $5 from every ticket sold to the Pacific Disaster Fund in support of the Cyclone Gita recovery.
They will also work with the Red Cross by holding a bucket collection at the club’s first NRL trial against Melbourne at Rotorua International Stadium on Saturday at 3pm.
“We are a club with strong Pacific links and we want to do what we can to help the island nations,” Vodafone Warriors CEO Cameron George said.
The tickets for the Gold Coast game are available on pre-sale only. The offer expires at 11.59pm on March 16.
