Pride ticketholders heading for Wolverhampton next weekend can now enjoy discounted tram travel on the day as West Midlands Metro steps up its support for the local LGBTQ+ community.
When featured headliners like Denise Van Outen and Duncan James take to the stage on Old Market Square on Saturday, June 8, pride ticketholders can enjoy a discount of 20 per cent on tram travel, which will also help them avoid the traffic.
Michael Reading-Skilton, West Midlands Metro Head of Commercial, commented: “We enjoyed a huge take-up of a similar deal during last weekend’s Birmingham Pride, and we’re delighted to extend the offer to cover Wolverhampton’s own celebration of its vibrant LGBTQ+ community.
“With over 700 free spaces at our park and ride sites, services every eight minutes, and trams running until late, ticketholders can avoid missing out on any of the fun while enjoying hassle-free travel to the heart of the action.”
Ian Fegan, Director of Vibrant City at City of Wolverhampton Council said: “We’re really pleased that the West Midlands Metro have come onboard as the latest supporter of Wolverhampton Pride. We encourage guests to take advantage of this offer and use public transport where possible.”
To take advantage of the discount, all pride ticketholders need to do is download the My Metro app and scan the QR code on an email they’ll receive from Wolverhampton Pride.
