Digital Ticketing

The latest digital ticketing phase continues for SEASON CARD HOLDERS in BLOCKS 15-20 of the North Stand.  

Digital ticketing is also available for the SAME CATEGORIES as our previous home matches - NEW SEASON CARD HOLDERS for 2023/24, as well as those who MOVED SEAT or CHANGED PRICE TYPE.

More on the latest phase of Digital Ticketing 

If you're in one of these categories and have already downloaded and used your digital Season Card, you can use it again in exactly the same way on Saturday.

There is NO NEED TO RE-DOWNLOAD - the existing digital Season Card in the 'Wallet' of your smartphone or other device remains valid for entry. This remains the case, even if the digital Season Card still displays the previous match, or has moved to the 'Expired Passes' section of your Wallet, in which case you can select it and choose 'Unhide'.

If you can't attend and wish to forward your digital Season Card to another supporter, please contact the Ticket Office.

If you are a Season Card holder and are NOT in one of these categories, the digital ticketing plans do not yet apply to you, and on Saturday you should use your existing physical Season Card as normal. As shown in the graphic below, please TAP YOUR SEASON CARD to the reader for entry. Only printed match tickets should go in the mouth of the reader.

We Will Remember Them

We welcome members of our Armed Forces to Saturday's match. 

We will have collections in the FanZone and Family Zone. Poppies will also be avallable with all monies going to the Royal British Legion.

Fans are also invited to learn more about the Military Police, who will be joining us in the North East corner ahead of the game.

Members of our Armed Forces will be parading around the pitch at around 2.25pm, and the game will be preceeded by wreath laying, a moment of silent reflection, and two buglers will play The Last Post.

We will also be wearing specially printed poppy shirts to raise money for the Royal Legion.

These will be available via auction from kick-off.

Travel

There are roadworks on the A66 between Long Newton and Stockton affecting both east and west carriageways. There will be a contra-flow in operation and there will be no entry/access eastbound at Long Newton and Eaglescliffe/Elton. Please all extra time for travelling.

Northern Gas Networks and Middlesbrough Borough Council have been actively working to create the safest environment possible for supporters using the A66 underpass near to Cineworld.  NGN has been required to install a temporary gas supply to feed businesses around the Middlesbrough Leisure car park during their ongoing works and final arrangements are likely to be very similar to those made available for the Birmingham match. Supporters are asked to take care when using the area before and after the match.

Our #UTB matchday programme this season includes plenty of extra reading material.

The issues will be available to purchase around the stadium on matchdays and in the club shop.
