Whether you’re a first-year student three weeks into the biggest upheaval of your life and four weeks into a cumulative hangover, or a fourth-year strolling down the well-beaten road of examinations, essays, and lectures, university life can get chaotic for everyone.
Sometimes you just need to take a night off to relax with your friends and try something new. It’s all but too easy to find yourself going to the same pub for the thousandth time, so why not swap the pints for pucks this week and jump on a tram for a night of excitement?
I know that sounds ambitious because as we all know, nothing is cheap anymore. However, occasionally at Utilita Arena Sheffield they offer standard price tickets to Sheffield Steelers’ ice hockey games for just £8. For the majority of the time, a regular student discount ticket costs £17.50.
Add to that a £1.60 return tram from the University stop and you’ve got a chill night out without breaking the bank! With both student discounts and periodic reduced tickets, attending a Steelers game is a great alternative way to spend your weekend evenings.
The Steelers currently sit top of the Elite Ice Hockey League and are on an excellent run of form; there’s never been a better time to watch them play. Moreover, Sheffield has a large fan base when it comes to ice hockey, meaning the arena is regularly packed with fans.
So, why not take a break from the lecture hall and dive into the excitement of a live sports event? Utilita Arena Sheffield has carved out a niche for students seeking a cheap way to bond, cheer, and enjoy a night out like no other. Don’t miss the chance to experience the thrill of the rink without having to delve into your overdraft.
