Lions Launches New Travel Company
The British & Irish Lions has announced the launch of its first dedicated travel company Lions Rugby Travel.??
The company will organise travel for rugby fans for the next Lions Tour to Australia in 2013 as well as running the official supporters club.??
The new company will be the official tour operator and will offer supporters club members priority access to travel packages, as well as organising a series of unique Lions themed pre-tour events between now and the Tour in 2013.??
Demand for match tickets, flights and accommodation is expected to exceed supply so fans are urged to register now at www.lionstour.com in order to receive notification of the launch of both the official supporters club and the travel packages as soon as they go on sale in 2011.??
The Official Supporters Club will also give members exclusive access to a ballot to purchase tickets at face value for all of the Lions Tour matches.
The last Lions Tour to South Africa in 2009 saw an estimated 40,000 Lions supporters traveling.??
The new company will also be managing all the flights, accommodation and support services for the team and management as well as assisting the sponsors and VIPs during the six week tour of Australia in June and July of 2013.??
Travel packages for the opening fixture of the Tour, when the Lions stop off for the first time in Hong Kong to play the Barbarians, will also be on sale in 2011.
