Digital Ticketing
The latest phase sees digital ticketing introduced 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.
Travel
The re-surfacing work currently taking place on the A66 between Long Newton and Stockton has been temporarily suspended for the weekend.
