How Much Does It Cost?
Qualifier tickets cost £50 each including peg fees. There is no additional fee required from Maver (UK). However, please be advised that many of the participating venues that host Mega Match This qualifier on our behalf will ask for an additional optional pools on the day in order to award prizes to top placed anglers as well as section prizes. The cost of pools on the day, etc, is at the fishery’s own discretion.
Do I Need To Join A Club Or Be A Member Of The Angling Trust To Enter?
The simple answer is NO. Tickets are offered on a strictly first come first served basis with no loyalty / benefit schemes or favouritism. Note also you do NOT have to be a member of the Angling Trust to enter a Mega Match This qualifier. Providing you pay the £50 entry fee, there are no additional costs and / or stipulations.
What’s The Latest I Can Book A Ticket To Fish A Qualifier?
Tickets can be purchased up until one week before the date of the qualifying event if you are paying by cheque. If you are paying for tickets via a debit / credit card, you can pay up until the 12:30pm on the Friday before the match (weekend events) with the exception of mid-week qualifiers, which will see ticket sales close at 12:30om the day before the match. Tickets cannot be purchased after such time. Please also note that tickets cannot be purchased on the day. If you have not booked your ticket(s) in advance, you will not be able to fish on the day.
What Happens If I Buy A Ticket, But Can’t Fish The Qualifier?
If you purchase a Mega Match This qualifier ticket but then are unable to fish the event for any reason, tickets are fully transferrable between anglers. Please note, however, tickets are NOT transferrable between venues. In order to transfer you ticket please contact Maver (UK) on 01527 406300 and advise of the name change. Please make sure you inform Maver (UK) of the name change before the final listing of entrants is sent across to the fishery before the qualifier takes place on the Saturday / Sunday.
Is The Final Televised?
Historically, the Maver Mega Match This event has been televised on Sky Sports. However, in 2016, the event was shown on BT Sport for the very first time. Going forward, the event will continue to be aired on BT Sport 1, 2 and 3. The programme is a one-hour long reportage of events on the day filmed and presented by Rob Hughes. The ultimate objective is for the Mega Match This final to be aired live, towards which we are making good progress and are confident we will secure live coverage for a future event soon!

Do Maver Make Anything Out Of Mega Match This?
Absolutely not! The Maver Mega Match This event was first introduced to help raise the profile of our sport. Of course, organising an event such as Match This incurs many costs, with pegs fees alone amounting to almost £20,000. Rest assured, however, if all twenty four (24) qualifiers sell out, then the winner WILL walk away with a life changing sum of money.
