Freshers fair travel
As part of Merseyrail’s ‘Global Goals free ticket week’ collaboration with the ACC, we are making sure that students who will be attending our Freshers Fair on Friday 22 September will get a free Merseyrail train ticket into Liverpool. Visitor travel is one of the biggest contributors to an events carbon footprint, so one of the ACC’s priorities as a venue is to encourage as many people as possible to take public transport. We also want to make sure that our commuter students have the opportunity to come to Freshers Fair at no cost.
Visitors simply have to fill in the online form before the 18th September and their tickets will be emailed to them a few days before the event. They will also be entered into a prize draw to win x2 tickets to an M&S Bank Arena show of choice (subject to availability). Please visit Merseyrail’s website for more details.
Merseytravel will provide us with figures so that you can include in any sustainability reporting you might be carrying out.
