GAME DAY: What’s going on around Braehead Arena THIS BOXING DAY

December 26, 2023

We hope everyone had a nice time yesterday, but for Glasgow Clan, sponsored by Aspray Glasgow West, it’s time to get the game faces on again.

The festive food and drink is barely digested as Belfast Giants are here and looking to make the most of it by trying to claim the two Elite League points.

We’ll have to wait and see what transpires on the ice, but allow us to tell you what’s going on around Braehead Arena.

Remember, tickets remain available online so make sure you get yours while you can.  Face off at 5:00pm, with doors opening at 3:30pm.

Alternatively, if you can’t be here, purchase our webcast, bringing you all the action from the game, priced at £12.50 by heading over to ClanIHC.tv.

Tonight’s match sponsors are our friends from Ogilvie Group.

Boxing Day battle with Belfast

This fixture is something of a tradition and they’re usually a lot of fun so it’ll be quite the game as Adam Keefe brings his Giants side to Glasgow.

Giants lost here the last time they both met so there could be the feeling of revenge from Belfast as they battle their way back to the form we all know they’re capable of.

You don’t want to miss this one as festive joy will be at something of a minimum on the ice between the players.

Box Office Open

The Braehead Arena box office is open between 1:00pm and 5:00pm, then for an extra 15 minutes at the conclusion of the game and we’re there to accommodate game day buyers due to the cost of living crisis.

However, where possible, fans are asked to continue to purchase tickets online in advance, but any sales at the box office will be at the same price as online sales.

Safety & Security

We’ll get the important bits of information out of the way first so please take a minute to read over the Safety and Security information for Braehead Arena, making sure you have an enjoyable night.

Prohibited Items
