    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.

    Match Day Ticketing South Stand *update*

    Yesterday we released a video talking through the changes at Gigg Lane ahead of our first home game.

      We have had some enquiries about not being able to purchase tickets on the day by cash/card in the South stand. 

    We hope you understand the reasons why we have taken this decision, however, we understand that we need to offer a solution for less able bodied /disabled supporters so we are going to open a turnstile for these people to access on the day. 

    In addition we would like to remind supporters of the following:
      You can purchase tickets online for Main and South stand anytime. Although we have a new caterer, and wait times should be improved this season we want to ensure that we can manage the queues. If everyone sits in the south stand this may increase queue times at the bar. Alcohol is not served after half time in the South stand. If you have a Starkie’s pass (Available Online) you can buy alcohol during the game in Starkie’s. All fans can use Starkies for free following the final whistle, If you are sat in the main stand, you are more likely to get into Starkies before it hits capacity.   We thank supporters who have given us feedback.
