Anticipation for the Steel & Sons Cup final continues to grow with supporters eagerly snapping up their match tickets.

Seaview is the place to be on Christmas morning for the staging of the 2008 Steel & Sons Cup final between Ards and Carrick Rangers.

Admission to the game has been set at £5 for adults and £3 for concessions, which is payable at the gate. Admission to the stand however will be by ticket only and these are priced at £6 each. Stand tickets can be bought now from the Ards Sports Club, during normal opening hours (see below).

The Premier Ards Supporters' Club have two buses running to the game, departing from the Sports Club at 9.45am. Again, a seat on the bus must be bought in advance and tickets are currently on sale at £6 and £5 from Andrew McCullough or at the Sports Club.

The Supporters' Club are keen to stress that there is no guarantee of tickets still being available on the day of the match and so supporters are encouraged to buy early.

The game itself kicks-off at 10.45am and will be handled by referee Mervyn Smith, who officiated at Ards' quarter-final win over Dundela.
