Junior Dale Season Tickets are only available when purchasing an Adult Season Ticket – there is no limit on how many junior Season Tickets can be purchased with an Adult Season Ticket, however, if we feel that this is being abused, then discretion will be used and the sale maybe refused.
There is limited availability for Junior Dale Season Tickets in the Main Stand. Sales are restricted to 100 tickets so please purchase early to avoid disappointment.
Adults wishing to purchase a Season Ticket with an accompanying Junior(s) Season Ticket can buy online at www.rafctickets.co.uk, in person at the Dale Ticket Office, or over the phone by calling 0844 826 1907 (option 8).
If a Junior Season Ticket is bought online without an Adult Season Ticket then it will not be processed and refund will be given.
In efforts to improve our family offering, Season Tickets in the Z Block in the Smith Metals Family Stand will only be sold to families. Families wishing to purchase Season Tickets in that section must do so in person at the Dale Ticket Office, or over the phone by calling 0844 826 1907 (option 8).
DISABLED SUPPORTERS
Disabled supporters pay the relevant price (as above) with the carer free of charge.
Disabled pricing applies to supporters who are in the receipt of the higher rate Disability Living Allowance or registered helpers.
Documented evidence will be required at the time of purchase.
CHANGES IN THE SMITH METALS FAMILY STAND
It had been previously announced that Season Tickets will not be on sale in blocks U or V in the Smith Metals Family Stand.
Having listened to supporter feedback, we can confirm that Season Tickets will now be sold in blocks U and V with the understanding that supporters in those blocks may be moved at the discretion of the Club for specific games during the season. We will endeavour to communicate the affected fixtures shortly after the fixtures have been revealed in June.
In addition, new state-of-the-art CCTV will be installed during the summer months to assist with anti-social behaviour in those blocks. Anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and those who are found to be causing trouble face action.
COUNTRY SEASON TICKETS
Country Season Tickets are only available to supporters living beyond 50 miles of the Crown Oil Arena. Proof of address is required.
Country Season Tickets include 10 x match tickets only to be used at 10 x games chosen by the Season Ticket holder.
Country Season Tickets will NOT be available to purchase after the early bird period ends.
Country Season Ticket holders will no longer be issued with a seat, they will instead receive a book with 10 vouchers. Each voucher relates to a game of their choice and should be exchanged at the Ticket Office either in the run up to matchday or on the day of the game itself. This is to ensure a seat is available all season round and is not left empty on the 13 occasions that a Country Season Ticket isn’t being used. We will endeavour to get as close to your desired seat as possible, depending on availability.
These Season Tickets are only available in person or over the phone, not online.
VOUCHERS
Adult season tickets and youth season tickets will include the following vouchers:
10% off in the RAFC Club Shop;
Bring a friend to any Tuesday night game for £5;
Bring a friend to any Saturday game for £10.
FINANCE
Following the announcement last month that Zebra Finance, our partner for Season Ticket payments plans, were removing their service from the football market with immediate effect, the Club has been working to find an alternative solution.
We are delighted to announce that we, along with a number of football Clubs, are in the process of finalising a deal with Premium Credit, which will allow supporters to spread the cost of their Season Ticket. Details will be announced within the next two weeks, but what we can say at this time is that we believe this will offer supporters a good deal.
CHANGES TO MATCHDAY PRICES
Categorised A & B games will be introduced for the 2019/20 season. Category B games will incur a £5 increase in matchday ticket prices across all ticket categories in all stands.
In addition, the Club will now offer an advanced price and a matchday price for tickets. Ticket prices will rise by £3 on matchday (this will exclude Category B Games due to the likelihood of such games being ALL TICKET).
Therefore, supporters are encouraged to buy their tickets in advance or purchase a Season Ticket.
