Tickets Now Available For Opening League Fixture

Tickets Now Available For Opening League Fixture

We are now able to confirm ticketing for this Saturday’s fixture against Glossop North End.
 
We are able to operate at full capacity in the South Stand & East Stand (Cemetery End). These two stands alone give us a capacity of well over 5,000.
 
The Manchester Road End will remain closed. We are awaiting confirmation on what capacity the North (Main) Stand can operate at, but we know it will not be full capacity, so we have elected to put tickets for the South Stand on sale now rather than delay sales further. We know this will be a well attended game and many supporters will want to guarantee their place by purchasing a ticket in advance.
We are at capacity in the 1885 Suite after strong season ticket sales for that space so are unable to offer further hospitality tickets for this game.
  For now, we will make the South Stand ticket only, and leave the Cemetery End as the pay-on-the-turnstile option. This makes it far easier to manage numbers for our volunteer turnstile operators. Season ticket holders may choose any available stand. Should the South Stand look like it will sell out then we will release tickets for the Cemetery End also, by which time we should have more information on the Main Stand numbers.
 
      We know this is a little more complicated than is ideal, but this game in particular will be especially well attended so we want to offer an advance ticket option rather than leave anything to chance. We do anticipate future games will be easier to manage as we will understand better where season ticket holders prefer to sit and will have plenty of room to accommodate everyone.
  We strongly recommend purchasing a ticket in advance to avoid disappointment and queues. It also helps us plan our resources better.
  We’d like to thank Bury Council amongst others for their help and support in opening up the stadium to greater numbers to allow as many people as possible to enjoy the occasion.
  Tickets are now on sale, click here to purchase yours ahead of a historic occasion on Saturday.

Accessing Your Online Tickets

Accessing Your Online Tickets

We are delighted that so many of our supporters have taken up the option to get a season ticket for our first games back at Gigg Lane, starting this Saturday with the visit of Glossop North End.
 
Physical season cards can be picked up from the Gigg Lane Ticket Office for supporters who purchased ahead of the 2nd July deadline. For ticket office opening times, select here.
 
General admission tickets for this weekend, and other games, are currently being confirmed and will be communicated to all shortly. We have provided details on how you access your tickets below.
 
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 or Passbook.
 
Full details on all this can be found on the TicketCo website here.
 
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.
 
  Whatever the circumstances, we have you covered. If you have any concerns, ensure you arrive early on Saturday and speak to one of our customer service volunteers who will be available to help!

Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters

Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters

Creating A Safe Environment For Supporters
For our football club to grow, it’s vital we create the right atmosphere inside the ground which makes people feel safe and welcome and encourages people to bring their children, and get involved regardless of their gender, race, or sexuality.

We would like to remind everyone that by turnstiles is a poster containing the following regulation:

‘The use of threatening behaviour and/or foul or abusive language is strictly forbidden and may result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground. The Club may impose a ban (including, but not limited to, a ban for one or more Matches) and/or the removal of season ticket(s) for any such behaviour.’
We know things can get heated at football games, and we can all say things in the heat of the moment. We can forgive a mistake. But if you feel threatened, or if you observe anti-social behaviour which persistently breaches this regulation please let a steward know. This is a regulation we are prepared to enforce. It’s vital to the long term success of the club that we do so.
If you are concerned that there is a safeguarding issue and a vulnerable person is at threat, you can also contact safeguarding@buryfc.co.uk with your concerns. You can find our safeguarding policy here.
We want everyone to enjoy what will be a historic season for the club and hope you will assist us in ensuring that that happens, without exception.
Tuesday 7.45pm: Nelson v Bury
We’ve added an extra friendly at short notice to allow some players to top up their minutes ahead of Saturday’s season opener against Glossop on Saturday.
We haven’t yet put tickets on sale for Glossop just yet as we will discuss next week what stands can be opened and what capacity limits we will be working under for this first fixture which is likely to be very well attended.

We will put them on sale as soon as this has been confirmed.

Pre-Season: Nelson (A), Tuesday 25th July, 7:45pm KO

Our final game of pre-season is an away trip to Nelson on Tuesday evening.
  Andy Welsh will be using this game as a final view of his players before the league campaign starts on Saturday against Glossop North End at Gigg Lane.
  Our final home pre-season game against Golcar United, gave us a 4-2 victory goals coming from a Benito Lowe brace, Andy Briggs & Sajjad Elhassan.
  In Opposition – Nelson
The origins of Nelson FC can be traced to a group of townspeople who in 1881, on witnessing a local football match between Burnley and Blackburn, were inspired to form their own team.
  As a club, Nelson have a rich vain of history, in the mid 1920s they beat both Manchester United & Real Madrid away from home in the same season.
  In 1982, they became founders members of the North West Counties League and have been members ever since, apart from a four year hiatus from 1988-1992, as there ground didn’t meet league standards.
  The club’s most memorable season in recent years would be the 2013/24 season, when manager Mark Fell brought long awaited success back to the town, a first league title in 62 years. His side scored a remarkable 157 goals in 45 games and won the NWCFL Division One by 5 clear points.
  Tickets
Tuesday’s fixture is PAY ON THE DAY, no tickets have been sold in advance. CASH ONLY on the gate.
  Prices: £5 for Adults, £3 for concessions (over-65, Students & registered disabled) and £1 for Under-15s

  Parking: There is parking along Lomeshaye Way which is the road where the ground is located. It can get busy so you could see a 5/10-minute walk to the ground if busy.
  Disability Access: Nelson doesn’t have allocated disabled parking however can offer access parking inside the ground walls which we can use as parking and access for the disabled, it would just mean cars would be parked behind the goals.
  Food / Drink: The club serves sausage rolls, pies, standard hotdogs, hot and cold drinks and alcohol in cans. A card machine is available at the kiosk but can be affected by signal issues, so cash is the safest option.
  Matchday Programme: TBC
