How will I receive my code?
The code will be sent to the email address that is registered with the Ticket Office.
If you think the email address that is currently registered with the Ticket Office is out of date, or you haven’t registered one, then please email tickets@rochdaleafc.co.uk asap.
IMPORTANT Please note: If somebody purchased your Season Card / Dale Family Rewards Card on your behalf, the code will be sent to the purchaser’s email address. Therefore, for example, if the purchaser bought three cards, they will receive three emails with three separate codes. Therefore, it is the responsibility of whoever purchased your Season Card to distribute these codes to the relevant individual. Rochdale AFC will distribute codes to all purchasers with the correct quantities.
Somebody bought my Season Card on my behalf, why will the code be emailed to them and not myself?
Our ticketing system is designed for the purchaser. If a family purchase 4 x match tickets, the tickets will be sent to the one email address for the family to redeem. Therefore, the same applies with the group purchasing of Season Cards / Dale Family Reward Cards. The system will only pick up the purchaser email address but will send the relevant number of iFollow codes to the purchaser.

I am being asked for payment details even although I have a free code. Is that correct?
Supporters will need to assign a valid payment method to their iFollow account (e.g credit card or debit card) to activate their streaming codes – however, you will not be charged.
Can I share my code with someone else?
The code can only be redeemed once. When it has been activated supporters can then login to iFollow to watch the match action on their preferred device. Please note supporters can only access the stream from one single device at a time.
Do I have to redeem my code immediately, or can I activate it at any time?
Once you have been issued with your code, we strongly recommend this is activated at the earliest opportunity. By activating your promotional code, you can then check that you are all setup correctly. Please do not leave it until the day of the game as your run the risk of it not working. Other clubs have reported difficulties when leaving the codes until immediately before kick-off.
