Match This off to a flyer

THIS year’s Maver Mega Match This looks like being a record breaker!

Match fishing’s richest event has seen more tickets than ever sold in the four weeks they have been available as anglers calmour for a chance to win the £65,000 first prize.

Three qualifiers sold out within the first week and Maver has reported an 85 per cent increase in sales compared to 2015 – proof of just how popular the series has become since its launch in five years ago.

“Ticket sales for the 2016 event have surpassed any previous launch to date, with a huge increase in the number of tickets sold this year when compared to the same time last year,” said event manager Ben Hughes.

“It marks the best start to a Mega Match This campaign ever, and is a very encouragin­g start to the 2016 event as a whole.

“If tickets sales continue to achieve the same level of demand in the coming weeks leading up to the start of the campaign, it will make for another record-breaking year”.

Tickets are, of course, still available for the bulk of the 24 qualifiers, offering anglers a shot at a £65,000 top prize and perhaps even more in the big summer final.

Eliminator­s take place at top commercial fisheries around the UK from early April.
