Concessions are offered for Senior Citizens, Juniors and Disabled supporters. At the club’s discretion you may be asked to provide proof of your concessionary status either at point of sale, upon collection of tickets and/or entrance to the ground. In the case of issue of tickets to minors Under-7 these are limited to one per paying adult and as such can only be purchased on this basis, especially with regards to online sales, should the online sales not provide you with your desired ratio of tickets then you are advised to contact the Ticket Office for further assistance. The club reserves the right to alter these price age bands without notice. Anybody found to be using concession tickets unjustly to gain entry will be liable to denied entry or ejection. No refund will be given.
In the event tickets are purchased for the use of minors it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to ensure that either they accompany them whilst in the Stadium or give duty of care to a responsible person aged 18 or over who will act as a supervisor providing they adhere to recommended Government guidelines.
If the football match for which a ticket relates to is postponed or abandoned for any reason the terms of the club’s Customer Charter will apply. Under no circumstances will the club be liable to pay any other sums to any persons in connection with a postponed or abandoned football match.
If for any reason the date and/or time of an event is altered after a ticket has been purchased it is the responsibility of the customer to ascertain the correct date and time of the fixture. The club will endeavour to make this information available as soon as any changes have been made. The club is under no obligation to give any form of recompense to anybody who misses a football match due to a date and/or time change.
Season ticket refunds are entirely at the discretion of the club and may be subject to a cancellation fee. Entry in to any game is not guaranteed and should the club be advised or instructed to play any game behind closed doors for any reason, any pro rata refund or credit is entirely at the club’s discretion.
In the event of a ticket being lost, damaged, misplaced or in the case of an online transaction which cannot be traced or has no confirmation details the club is under no obligation to provide a duplicate ticket.
