August 7, 2024

The Central Coast Mariners and the Australian Reptile Park have revealed a new partnership designed to elevate member experience and deepen community engagement.

The initiative will see every new Australian Reptile Park adult, child or concession annual pass holder receive a three-match pass to see the Mariners play at their home venue in Gosford.

Sharing his excitement about the partnership, Mariners Head of Commercial Operations, Teli Taktikos advised “partnering with the Australian Reptile Park is a significant step towards enriching the Mariners fan experience beyond the pitch. This initiative not only enhances our members’ leisure activities but also strengthens our ties within the local community.”

Billy Collett, Operations Manager at the Australian Reptile Park, added “at the Australian Reptile Park, we are thrilled to welcome Central Coast Mariners members and their families. We pride ourselves on giving our visitors the opportunity to interact closely with our incredible animals and create lasting memories. We look forward to providing an unforgettable day out for Mariners fans.”

To launch the partnership with the Central Coast Mariners, Ryan Edmondson, Alfie McCalmont and Mikael Doka visited the attraction where they had the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the park’s most popular residents. Their visit marked the official beginning of an exciting journey between the two organisations.
