Pass the Pizza in association with Jon Doe
We're giving away pizzas at home games this season thanks to our friends at Jon Doe. The giveaway takes place in the second-period powerbreak. If you're holding a pizza box when the music stops, take it to the Panthers Kiosk in the foyer to exchange it for a voucher code to claim your pizza.

Dance Cam in association with 2Fawcett
Here's your chance to get on the jumbotron by displaying your best moves. Look out for the Dance Cam - in association with 2Fawcett - in the third-period powerbreak.

Win a bunch of beautiful flowers with Flowervision
​Fancy winning a beautiful bunch of flowers? Our flower giveaway takes place in the second-period intermission thanks to Flowervision who are in their 10th year of sponsorship with the Panthers.

There's a winner every time with the Panthers Vault
The Panthers Vault - in association with Interseal Fire Protection - is reset at £500 after the code was cracked two weeks ago. Tickets cost £1 and if yours is drawn out of the hat, you go on the ice with DJ Ken Feast and try to win the money inside the vault. Choose one of the players from the Panthers roster shown on the jumbotron to reveal a four-digit code and see if it unlocks the vault. The contestant who goes rinkside with Ken won't be leaving empty-handed whether they crack the code or not, with two tickets for an arena show on offer at each home game. The tickets are kindly donated by the arena's main sponsor, Motorpoint.

Chances to win in Chuck-a-Puck, Shirt Raffle and Fifty50
Chuck-a-Puck is sponsored by Midlands Chauffeurs and pucks cost £1 each. It takes place during the second intermission and the winner is the person who lands their puck closest to Paws at centre-ice. The winner is invited onto the ice at the end of the game for a photo with their favourite player and receive a signed puck, as well as a code for two free pizzas.

This week's Shirt Raffle - in association with the arena's main sponsor Motorpoint - is a very special custom-made replica Pride Night jersey. Tickets are on sale in the foyer and around the concourse for £1 each.

Tickets for the Fifty50 raffle are sold for £1 each. The lucky winner will go home with a fantastic cash prize.

If you aren't successful in either the Shirt Off His Back or Fifty50, please make sure you keep your tickets. All tickets are put back into the hat for the second-prize draw and the winner will be announced on our social media channels and website within the next couple of days.
