Commercial director Pete Grzonka said: “This is a massively exciting fixture and demand for tickets is expected to be immense. I hope the ticket prices are reasonable and represent only a marginal increase on our usual match day prices.

“We have offered season ticket holders, who have followed the region through thick and thin, an exclusive purchasing period which will guarantee they can attend at a discounted rate.

“In deciding to keep the game at Rodney Parade we are hoping to make the most of our home advantage. We’ve structured our ticket sales to reward our most loyal supporters and allow as many Dragons supporters as possible to attend.

“Whilst Blues fans are able to purchase a limited allocation from their ticket office, we hope that the way we have managed ticket release will mean that the majority of the stadium will be filled with Dragons fans.”
