TICKETS are now on sale for York's UK Snooker Championship.

The tournament, staged at the York Barbican, runs from November 24 to December 6 and organisers World Snooker have kicked off with a special half price offer.

Snooker fans who buy session tickets from November 30 to December 4 can get a reduction on the price of their seats. Tickets are subject to availability.

Last year’s final was arguably the match of the season as Ronnie O’Sullivan beat Judd Trump 10-9 in a dramatic finish, after Trump had come from 9-4 down to 9-9.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn said: “York has become a fabulous home for the Betway UK Championship, it’s a beautiful city and the Barbican is a superb venue. Fans have shown tremendous support for this event and once again we expect many sessions to sell out very fast.

“This tournament has been ever present on our calendar since 1977 and it’s one the top players are always so determined to win. That’s why we always see such high quality snooker and an abundance of exciting matches.”

Tickets for many sessions start at just £6, plus booking fees, and are available by calling 0844 854 2757 or visiting www.worldsnooker.com/tickets
