Ticketing and entry information
Due to limited facilities on matchdays there are no ticket resales, reprints or refunds available on Wednesday. We advise ticketholders to either print out the ticket issued or alternatively they can be scanned via a mobile phone. When using a mobile phone we advise turning the brightness up to 100%. Each ticket has a unique barcode that cannot be duplicated, if more than one copy of the ticket has been used on matchday you will be denied access to the stadium.
Before you arrive at the turnstile have your tickets ready for scanning. Keep your bags and coats on your person, there is no need to take items from your pockets, unless instructed to by our security team. Follow the instructions when directed by one of the team.
Failure to produce your match ticket will result in access being denied into the stadium.
All supporters attending Grosvenor Vale will be subjected to a screening process prior to entering the stadium that includes a physical and/or visual search. If avoidable do not bring a bag larger than 20cm x 15cm x 5cm (8" x 6" x 2") this equates to a small handbag.
If a concessionary ticket has been purchased, identification will be requested on entry. Holders of such tickets should ensure that they have appropriate ID.

Tough measures and sanctions are in place across all English football leagues to tackle dangerous and illegal behaviours within football grounds, such as discriminatory behaviour, entering the pitch, using pyros and throwing objects.
