    Junior Shakers & Mascot Update

    Bury Football Club is extremely proud to announce the launch of ‘Junior Shakers’, our brand new club membership scheme for our youngest fans.
     
    We would like to thank everyone who entered our recent badge design competition, we had lots of fantastic entries, and it was difficult to choose one! Congratulations goes to 10 year old Harry Noone whose design was selected to be the official badge of our Junior Shakers. This has been digitally enhanced and sent to our manufacturers at Hope & Glory.
     

    You can now sign up for annual membership here: https://buy.stripe.com/28oeVmb7h76q2n6cMM
     
    Membership for the full year, beginning on the day you sign up, costs just £30 per member. As well as a whole host of bespoke merchandise and other membership benefits (see below for the full list), our Junior Shakers will all be given the opportunity to be a mascot at one of our men’s or women’s home games at Gigg Lane this season.
     

    Member packs will be ready for collection at home games from Gigg Lane by the end of the month. If you do not live within the vicinity or want to join from further afield, email us to arrange postal delivery in the UK or abroad (extra charges will apply). Once you have signed up, you will be contacted to arrange a suitable date to be a mascot during the season.
     
    BURY FC JUNIOR SHAKERS BOOKLETDownload
    Please note, this is now the only way to mascot at Gigg Lane. We have been asked about creating a paid mascot opportunity but have decided we want to give as many children as possible the opportunity to mascot and feel that the annual membership fee for Junior Shakers offers excellent value for money.
     
    Local junior football teams and school teams and classes will still be given the opportunity to be flag-bearers at our men’s or women’s games at Gigg Lane and interested managers or teachers can contact our new community development manager to arrange this and join a waiting list for a place (at communityofficer@buryfc.co.uk).

    Initially, teams and schools who have not already been flag-bearers or mascots at Gigg Lane over the past year will be offered this opportunity. All mascots and flag-bearers will be given free entry to Gigg Lane on the day but must be accompanied by a full-paying adult if they are under the age of 13.

    Accessing Your Online Tickets

    The take up of digital ticketing has again been a success this summer, with renewals of season tickets, match ticket, merchandise and sponsorship package purchases, as well as away ticket distribution all being processed in this way.

    Being able to offer this method of ticketing gives the club flexibility in ticket distribution and helps ease burden at the turnstile on a matchday, as well as offer the ability turn around event ticketing in short timeframes.

    It is recognised that supporters like to have a physical card to present at the turnstile and for those who ordered a season ticket ahead of the 10th July deadline, these season cards can now be collected from Gigg Lane at the times shown here.

    There may be many who are accessing tickets digitally for the first time. The following explainer is provided to show how your digital ticket can be accessed and how it is used to claim your purchased event or item.
      Accessing your ticket digitally
    We partner with TicketCo for online ticket distribution and encourage supporters to purchase these wherever possible, as this assists us in planning for a match day. Supporters will be able to buy tickets for all club events and programmes via this platform from the club website here.
     
    Whether you have bought a season ticket as a physical card or not, you can always get access to the games by presenting your TicketCo QR code at the turnstile for an operator to scan – this can be digitally on a smart phone or via a print out of your QR code.

    The QR code on a physical season card is a replica of that presented within the TicketCo app or on your TicketCo PDF receipt which was sent via either email or SMS message at the point of order. This can only be used once on each match day.
     
    You can also download the ticket to your phone’s Wallet (Android) or Passbook (iOS), by clicking on the link in you email receipt (as shown right).

     
    Download the App
    TicketCo also provides the option to secure all your purchased Bury FC event tickets in one place, via the TicketCo Wallet app. Examples of how this looks on your phone can be found below. You can download this app here (Android) or here (iOS).
        Whatever the circumstances, we have you covered. If you have any concerns, ensure you arrive early on a matchday to speak to one of our customer service volunteers who will be available to help! For queries in advance, please contact the club here.
    Full details on all this can be found on the TicketCo website here.
      Be #ShakersTogether, Be #PartOfIt, Be #BuryFC for 2024/25.
