Valued at $188, the four general admission tickets are the prize for The Examiner’s Hobart Hurricanes 2017 competition, and would make a great stocking stuffer ahead of Christmas.
Taking part requires some sleuthing and the competition closes at 2:59pm on Friday, December 22.
To be in the running to win the tickets you must guess from where at UTAS Stadium Launceston mayor Albert van Zetten is cheering on the Canes in the photo above.
Tell us your guess of the mayor’s seat – with a row letter and seat number, for example, E-15 – to enter.
Remember - there are more than 200 seats in each row in the stand pictured.
*THE COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED*
But if you really don’t want to miss the game Fairfax Tasmania managing editor Mark Baker has encouraged people to buy their tickets early.
“We want to see a sell out at the venue to show the great appetite people in Northern Tasmania have for top quality cricket,” Baker said.
“As proven by Ricky Ponting's testimonial match, the stadium is a great place to play and watch cricket, and a ticket to the match is the perfect stocking filler.”
Baker said Northern Tasmania had produced some of Australia's best cricketers and Launceston was the home of the oldest first-class venue in the country.
“Cricket has a wonderful history in Launceston and the upcoming Big Bash match will be another run on the board for that legacy.”
The Hobart Hurrcannes will take on the Sydney Thunder at UTAS Stadium in a WBBL and BBL Double Header.
The matches kick off at 2pm on Saturday, December 30.
