The Newcastle Jets are excited to unveil a new fan experience set to take centre stage at half-time during this Saturday’s Isuzu Ute A-League clash against Sydney FC – and it comes with a jaw dropping $25,000 prize all thanks to our Major partner Spartan Race Australia.
We’re inviting every fan in the stadium to take part in the paper Jets Challenge — a high-flying competition where skill, timing, and a little bit of luck could land you a life-changing cash prize.
How it works:
• Upon entry, all attendees will receive one custom paper plane each
• Each plane includes a QR code – fans will need to register their entry via the QR code on the paper to be eligible to participate. At halftime, the field will be cleared, and the Spartan Australia bucket will be placed in the centre circle.
• When the countdown clock hits zero, fans will launch their planes from the grandstands in a spectacular stadium-wide throw.
Tickets for Saturday’s match can be purchased here!
Hit the bucket and win!
If your plane lands in the bucket, you’ll take home a share of the $25,000 prize pool. Multiple winners? The prize money will be shared equally.
No winners? No problem – the cash prize money will jackpot when the next paper plane challenge is held!
Miss the bucket, but get it in the centre circle?
Closet 4 planes to the bucket will win 1 of 4 x $100 gift voucher thanks to our match day partner and official apparel partner of the Newcastle Jets, New Balance.
In addition to their backing of the fun-filled Paper Jets Challenge, New Balance will also be treating 11 lucky local community football clubs to an unforgettable match day experience, including tickets to the game, behind the scenes tour, the chance for their juniors to be player mascots, a stadium lap, small-sided games at half-time, and an exclusive meet & greet with Jets players.
Important
• No early throws — any plane launched before the countdown ends will be disqualified.
• No one is permitted on the field during the challenge.
This is your chance to turn a paper plane into serious cash — don’t miss out on the action, the excitement, and the opportunity to be part of Jets history!
Join us this Saturday and let your paper plane soar!
