    CLICK HERE TO BUY ONLINE

    Season tickets prices account for all 23 home league games (including VAT) and are able to be purchased in either the Main Stand or South Stand only. You have until 10th July to purchase if you want a printed Season Ticket card. Purchases after that date will be digital ticket only.

    U16 Season Ticket Giveaway: We will be holding an event at Gigg Lane on Saturday 22nd June from 11am, where there are 100 free U16 season tickets to be given away. More details will follow this week, so put this date in your diary.

    Reserved Seating: Supporters will be required to select their seat when purchasing online this season. Seats selected will be noted as ‘Reserved’ for all league games. Select the ticket you require to purchase, this opens up the Gigg Lane plan and from there you will be able to select your block of choice, and then row / seat number. Example provided below.
      Step 1 – Choose your ticket Step 2 – Choose your block Step 3 – Choose your seat   Whilst we are permitting season ticket holders to reserve seats, there are occasions where we may need to ask people to change seat. We are completing some further work on the Main Stand so this is the most likely stand to require changes. However, we will try to ensure that an alternative seat is made available in the same stand.

    We have also blocked out a few sections which are not available for reservation. These are the hospitality and press areas in the Main Stand, and Blocks A and B in the South Stand, which will continue as the singing section. Anyone wishing to use Blocks A or B are advised to reserve a seat in South Stand Block J when choosing a ticket.

    We have also blocked out Blocks H and I in the Main Stand so that we can use this for away supporters, and save the cost of opening another stand for what will usually be a small number of away fans.


    Please take care when choosing your seat as we are unable to change it for you after purchase.



    The position of the pitch is shown by the green strip marked ‘Field’ which shows which way you will be facing. We have tried to use all the old row and seat numbers so it is as accurate as we could make it.

    If you decide you don’t like your seat there will be plenty of unreserved seating available.

    Purchasing more than one ticket: Season ticket purchases will be linked to the email address used at the time of purchase. The club may sometimes use the ticketing platform to contact ticket holders, for instance regards match updates or changes. Where tickets are purchased for separate households, we therefore recommend the use of individual email addresses to provide better communication links.
     
    Live Streaming: Included in all season tickets is access to any available Live Stream* from Gigg Lane.

    Access for this service is linked to the email address used to purchase the season ticket. To ensure receipt of your access, please ensure the email address input is correct for each ticket purchase. Multiple tickets purchased with the same email address will receive communications to the noted email address only.

    *not including Saturday 3pm kick-offs broadcast during the ‘blocked hour’ directive set out by UEFA.

    CLICK HERE TO BUY ONLINE
     
    Physical Season Tickets: All season ticket orders received by 10th July, will be printed onto a season ticket card that will be available to pick up from Gigg Lane in early August. Admission can be accessed via either the digital QR code or physical cards in this case.

    Season tickets bought after the 10th July will be digital only. Digital tickets can be accessed from the receipt within your email following purchase, or in the following ways:
     
    SMS Text Message (if phone number provided) Login to the TicketCo App (Google Play Store / Apple Store) Smartphone Wallet App (available on Android & iOS)
    Simply present your QR code from one of the available options above at the turnstile to gain admission.
     
    Cash Season Ticket Sales: Where accessing season tickets online is an issue (eg email availability or unable to pay by card), the club are this season able to provide supporters with the option of paying by cash at Gigg Lane.

    This will be at specific times ONLY as outlined below:
     
    Wed 19th June, 10am-12noon Fri 21st June, 10am-12noon Tues 25th / Wed 26th / Fri 28th June, 10am-5pm
    Further dates / times will be subject to availability and will be communicated via the website.

    Disabled Supporter & Carer Tickets: We have used the best practice guidance set out by Level Playing Field for ticketing and seating management for disabled supporters, as well as input from a small number of our own disabled fans and those at other clubs. This follows the concept of making a more considered ‘reasonable adjustment’ rather than just a concession on price.

    In accordance with this guidance, anyone with a disability requiring the assistance of a carer will be asked to purchase a ticket at full price, which then allows for a free carer ticket for someone to escort them to the game.

    Purchasers of free carer tickets will be contacted by email to provide evidence of disability which can be one of the following documents:
     
    Receipt of the mid-rate care element or the high-rate mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement or Personal Independence Payments (PIP). Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance. War Pensioners’ Mobility Allowance or War or Service Disablement Pension for 80% or more disability. Blind or partially sighted registration certificate (BD8 or CVI Certificate). Further advice can be found on the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) website. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual is included on their Deaf Register, or a letter or report from an aural specialist confirming that hearing loss has been recorded at 70 – 95 dBHL or worse. Confirmation in writing from Social Services that the individual has a learning difficulty or disability. For children – a letter from the head teacher at a their school confirming eligibility will be acceptable.
    We reserve the right to cancel carer tickets where evidence is requested and not produced.

    There will be 30 blue badge holder car parking spaces available within the Gigg Lane car park, able to be secured for the season for FREE. Details on how to secure one of these will be provided in the coming days.

    NB: Please note we have a bug in the online system which doesn’t allow carers to choose from any seat, we are working to fix this.
      Hospitality Package Prices

    This season the club is able to offer three hospitality packages for supporters looking for that exclusive experience at Gigg Lane. These are available in Starkies, 1885 Suite and EyeLevel Sponsors Lounge. Prices are outlined below:
     
    Starkies Pass – Adult £150 / U16 £100 1885 Suite – £620 EyeLevel Lounge – £1,440
    Full details on the packages, and to order yours, click HERE.

    Adult £10 16-18 Year Olds £5 Under 16s £3 Under 5s Free   To contact the club, please utilise our new contact page which is accessed HERE.

    Double winners following NWCFL awards dinner

    We are delighted to announce we picked up two awards at the North West Counties awards dinner in Blackpool on Saturday night.

    Our matchday programme, The Shakers, won the Premier Division Programme of the Year award. A big thank you to programme editor, Chris Saville, and the team who contribute to pieces each week to make it best in the division last season. Our thanks also extends to our programme producer FootiePrint for meeting the often late deadlines, flexibility in dealing with frequent game re-arrangements and getting the high-quality printed copies to Gigg Lane for every game.

    The club also picked up the quarterly Respect Award for February, March & April 2024. The award is based on marks given by member clubs to each other for things like the friendly welcome received at the ground, good hospitality, and the way dressing rooms are left at away fixtures as examples.

    We are glad to have left a good impression on the clubs visited in this last quarter and thank them for their kind comments.

    We would like to thank the players and all those behind the scenes for their work which went towards securing this award at the end of last season.

    2024/25 Season: Gigg Lane Car Park Policy

    As the new season draws closer we wanted to take the opportunity to update you with regards to changes we are making to matchday car parking. 

    We currently have 182 spaces available on a matchday, the majority have these are taken up by matchday squads and staff, blue badge holders, disabled people, some volunteers, opposition boards and finally some 1885 members. 

    We have the biggest car park in the division, having a car park of this size presents many operational challenges in terms of a booking in process and then managing it on the day as well which is unsustainable for a club that in the main operates off a volunteer base.


    As a result the following changes will be made for the upcoming season:

    30 spaces will be allocated for blue badge holders/disabled.  If you would like a space for the upcoming season please go onto TicketCo and pick a ticket for parking (£0 cost). You will then be required to attend the club reception (during opening hours) and collect a pass, you will be required to show a blue badge to obtain the pass.


    52 spaces will be allocated to players and officials and boards.

    The remaining spaces will be on a first come first serve basis charged at £5 (cash only on the day and we would ask that were possible you have correct money).

    This decision has not been taken lightly but saves many man hours from an operational perspective whilst also driving further revenues for the club to invest in fan related activities.

      There is on-street parking in the residential areas surrounding Gigg Lane (as shown above), with supporters reminded to be respectful and considerate of the local residents at all times, as well as being mindful of and adhering to the parking permit measures in place in close proximity to the ground.
