Tickets are now on sale for the Federation Internationale De Volleyball (FIVB) World Tour which is coming to Shepparton on the weekend of March 3-5.
Two temporary purpose-built courts and a warm-up court will be constructed, and a 600-seat grandstand will be erected at the Victoria Park Lake precinct. The event will see teams competing from 32 countries, with national and international TV and media exposure for Greater Shepparton and will generate over $1million in economic stimulation.
The Beach Volleyball World Tour will be held on the Saturday and Sunday on a temporary built stadium at the northern end of Victoria Park Lake.
In conjunction with the World Tour there will be a Beach Carnival from the Friday afternoon through to the Sunday afternoon, making the international sporting event even more special for visitors to Greater Shepparton.
The Beach Carnival will have food trucks, bars, live music, and a kids carnival with free and low cost activities at Victoria Park Lake and Aquamoves. Greater Shepparton City Council is partnering with Love your Local to deliver this event.
Ticket sales for the Volleyball are now available for the Sunday, with Friday and Saturday open to the public for a gold coin donation. Limited tickets are available for Sunday’s two sessions so get in quick to avoid missing out.
Tickets can be purchased from Volleyball Australia www.volleyballaustralia.org.au
