SEASON TICKETS ENQUIRIES

Yes. Match tickets can be printed at the South Stand ticket office for a £5 charge per season ticket transaction. Tickets will only be reprinted on production of the season ticket owner’s ID.

19. I have a concession season card.  What happens if I cannot attend a home game?
If you can’t attend a game and wish a friend of the same age category to use your season card you must let the club know (see terms and conditions). If the season ticket needs to be upgraded, e.g. from an under-12 to an adult, you must contact Supporter Services to pay for the upgrade. The upgrade cost will be calculated as the full price ticket minus the pro-rata rate of the season ticket. Please be advised that we will need to create a ticketing account for all supporters that wish to attend a game in place of the season ticket holder.

20. I want to bring a friend to a game and would like to sit with them, can I move my seat for a match?
Yes, each season ticket holder can move seats up tp three times per season at no additional cost, these can be used to accommodate any guest they want to bring. Seat moves for matches over and above the three free moves will be charged at the rate of a full price ticket, minus the pro-rata price of the season card. To move seats for a particular match you will need to contact the Supporter Services team.

21. During the season I decide I would like to move seats permanently, what do I have to do?
Please contact the Supporter Services team to change seats. Permanent seat transfers made during the season will incur the following fees:
  • Reprint Fee – A £10 fee per season ticket applies to all season tickets which need to be reprinted.
  • Seat Move Admin Fee – A £10 fee will be applied if you decide to change your seat after the one free seat move.
Supporters are entitled to one move per season without incurring a £10 seat move admin fee. If a supporter moves to a more expensive area then their existing seat, they will need to pay the difference in price to upgrade. If supporters choose to move to a cheaper area then the difference will be offered as a refund.  The cost of this upgrade/downgrade will be calculated on the basis of the difference in price between the two seats, on a pro-rata basis depending on how many matches are remaining in the season.

22. I am disabled, what price do I pay for match tickets?
Disabled supporters pay the relevant price according to their age and the stand which they choose to sit in.

CAR PARKING ENQUIRIES

29. Can I purchase car parking on a match-by-match basis?
The majority of our parking is sold seasonally. However, if there are any spaces available to purchase match to match these can be purchased at https://tickets.bristol-sport.co.uk or by calling Supporter Services.

30. How do I get parking for the season?

Any unsold parking spaces are offered to supporters at the top of the car park waiting list. You can be added to the car park waiting list by contacting Supporter Services.

AWAY TICKET ENQUIRIES

32. Am I able to purchase away tickets?

Season tickets holders and members are strictly restricted to purchase one ticket per person within their sales period. Should you want to purchase additional tickets for non-members, you will need to wait until the general sale period. We highly advise multiple tickets are booked within the same transaction so they are all sat together; tickets are issued in an order instructed by the away club and tickets will not be exchanged or returned to accommodate this.

We are unable to amend any away tickets and all bookings are final. This includes upgrading/downgrading tickets, adding additional tickets or returning tickets.
