Ahead of Tuesday night’s game against Forest Green Rovers, we have put together all the details you need to make the most of your visit to the Crown Oil Arena.
ADMISSION DETAILS
The Crown Oil Arena no longer operates cash turnstiles and is barcoded entry only. We urge supporters to use our online ticketing site to purchase their tickets before coming to the ground. Tickets will remain online until kick-off.
Buying online is the quickest and easiest way buy your match tickets and you can do so by following this link > https://www.rafcshop.co.uk/tickets/match-day-tickets
You can save your e-ticket directly to your phone to scan upon entry to the turnstiles.
In circumstances where you can only purchase from the Ticket Office, please do not leave this until the last minute. Our new ticketing system requires the details of all purchasers to be stored on our system, so it will take time to process your details and issue your match ticket. Therefore, to avoid delaying your entry to the ground further, please allow plenty of time to visit the Ticket Office.
