FanStands is the new venture that offers once-in-a-lifetime and memorable sporting experiences for Australian sports fans anywhere on the planet. The rewards program boasts exclusive discounts and benefits to subscribers who in turn accumulate entries into all once in a lifetime VIP sporting experiences giveaways.

Van Der Merwe, 49, will travel to London later this month to watch Australia take on England in the second Ashes Test match at the so-called “Home of Cricket” at Lord’s. The total value of the trip is priced at over $50,000.

“I never thought I had a chance of winning, but now I’m in the process of getting flights and accommodation sorted for my big trip. I still can’t quite believe it,” he said.

“Lucky I’ve got three mates who could drop everything at short notice and fly to England with me. This is the ultimate Bucket List adventure and we’re going to celebrate it in style.”

FanStands is the brainchild of Australian sporting legend and dual rugby league and rugby union international Lote Tuqiri and renowned tech entrepreneur Nathan Ruff. It’s a new loyalty program for Australian sports fans, promising unique VIP experiences anywhere in the world.

For as little as $3.75 a week, subscribers of FanStands can save thousands of dollars on groceries, fuel, car rentals, gym memberships, electronics, apparel, entertainment, home goods, travel, accommodation and transportation. Subscribing to the loyalty program can help members save thousands of dollars at 100’s of vendors including Coles, Woolworths, UberEats, Naked Wines, JB HI-FI, Country Road, Kathmandu and Avis.

The next prize will be drawn next week and includes a trip for four people to Las Vegas to watch UFC 290 staying at New York New York Casino and valued at $30,000. Other prizes later in the year include a trip to the Rugby World Cup in France, AFL/NRL grand finals, a trip to Las Vegas for the Formula One Grand Prix, The Super Bowl and Premier League games.

“FanStands has been built so that members can have their ‘I was there’ moments. For too long sport has been exclusive, with only the privileged 1 percent getting the chance to enjoy luxury VIP sporting experiences. That is all changing. With the opportunity to accumulate entries into all draws, members have the chance to win ultimate experiences at the world’s biggest and best events,” he said.

“Whether it’s the Superbowl or Stage of Origin; Formula One in Monaco or the Masters at Augusta National - FanStands exists to present the ultimate moments to reward true sporting fans,” he said.

“You just can’t put a price on the unforgettable moments sport provides, I’ve been very fortunate throughout my career and now I really want to be able to deliver these once in a lifetime experiences to our members.
