Season Cards and new Dale Family Rewards Cards go on sale from Saturday 15 August
Date published: 10 August 2020
Rochdale AFC have installed a new digital ticketing system for 2020/21
Season tickets go on sale to Rochdale AFC fans on Saturday 15 August.
Adult Season Card prices start at just £200, Youth Season Cards (12-18 years) are from just £75, with Junior Season Cards (11 and under) just £25.
New for this season is the Dale Family Rewards Card, a membership scheme which will give supporters a whole host of benefits and is a perfect alternative to a Season Card.
For the 2020/21 campaign, the Crown Oil Arena will operate on barcoded entry. That means that instead of the traditional season ticket, fans will now scan their Season Card at the turnstile to gain access into the ground on matchday.
Fixtures for the new season, which starts on 12 September will be released on 21 August. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, temporary reduced capacity restrictions must be enforced at the Crown Oil Arena. The stadium will operate at a circa 20% capacity, therefore the demand for Season Cards is likely to exceed the supply available. In order to meet this demand, Season Cards will be made available in the Reside Estate Agency Stand as a temporary measure until restrictions are lifted.
Season Cards
2020/21 Rochdale Season Cards will go on sale from 9am on Saturday 15 August 2020 until midnight on Wednesday 30 September.
Existing season ticket holders will be given the first exclusive opportunity to renew. Season Cards will be available on general sale on 1 September.
Unfortunately the club will be unable to guarantee their usual seat / stand for season ticket holders wanting to renew, but as soon as restrictions are lifted, fans original seats will be allocated
Where games are to be played behind closed doors, Season Card holders will receive an iFollow match pass to stream the game live.
If crowds are allowed in to the stadium, priority will be given to Season Card holders followed by Dale Family Reward Card holders.
Junior Season Cards
Junior Season Cards for Dale fans aged 11-and-under are available for just £25, in all areas of the ground, and holders will receive the following benefits:
- Meet our friendly mascot Desmond the Dragon matchdays
- Visit Desmond’s Den on matchdays and take part in free workshops and interactive activities
- Desmond The Dragon newsletter twice per season
- Christmas and birthday card signed by all the players.
Junior Season Cards are only available when purchasing an Adult Season Card. There are no restrictions on the number of Junior Season Cards purchased with an Adult Season Card.
*Sales in the Main Stand are restricted to 100, so please purchase early to avoid disappointment.
