Our season tickets sales have now passed the 850 mark -- would you like to buy one ahead of the new season?

Darlington FC are delighted to announce the Season Ticket options and pricing for the 2023/24 season. Once again we’ll be offering a range of ways which supporters can purchase their tickets for maximum flexibility and convenience. Tickets are on sale on our YOURCLUB platform, or from Quaker Retail.

After a careful benchmarking exercise taking into account a number of factors such as:

• Comparable clubs pricing
• Supporter social media feedback
• Increased costs faced by the Club
• Need for increased revenue to support the playing budget

As a fan owned Club, matchday revenue makes up a large proportion of the overall revenue which in turn supports the budget that we can make available to Alun to build a competitive team that we can be proud of.

Prices have increased slightly for the next season to take into account last season’s increased “on the day” pricing which was voted in by our fan owners post the launch of the 22/23 season tickets. This means that your 23/24 season ticket will still give you the same great value as previous seasons, an adult season ticket will give around 6 free games, compared to paying on the day.

Unrivalled Flexibility

Once again we’re offering unrivalled flexibility in how you can purchase and pay for your season ticket meaning you no longer have to pay in one single lump sum, unless you wish to.

• Single payment – pay online or in store at Quaker Retail
• 3 monthly instalments – pay in 3 equal monthly instalments – this option is only available when paying online by credit/debit card.
• Pay Monthly – the subscription service for ultimate convenience, set up a monthly Direct Debit and your card/pass will remain permanently active as long as you’re up to date with payments. 12-month minimum term applies.

Provided that current Pay Monthly subscribers payments are up to date you don’t need to take any further action, your card or digital pass will remain active for attendance for all future games. Please do not re-apply if you already have an active Pay Monthly plan.

Fans For The Future

After careful review, and in line with our strategy to increase the number of younger fans - who are the future of the Club – attending, all young Quakers under the age 12 will continue to be able to attend for free when accompanied by a responsible, paying adult. Our Young Adult category also allows fans under the age of 25 to attend for the concessionary rate – an unrivalled offer at this level.

We’re also continuing, in conjunction with the DFC Foundation, to provide a pair of free season tickets to all primary and junior schools in the area. This initiative was last season funded by The National Lottery via The Vanarama National League, unfortunately there will be no funding for the 23/24 season but due to the great feedback we’ve received we’ll continue to administer the scheme.

Rewards

Your season ticket also gives you a number of additional benefits, such as:

• 10% off at Quaker Retail, either online or in-store
• Priority access for cup and play-off game tickets (home and away)

Reserved Seating

Until July 1st, all current seated season ticket holders can rest assured their existing seat will remain reserved. After that date, however, the seat will become available for anyone to buy or move to if they’ve already purchased a season ticket and want to swap the seat they were allocated.

If you would like to move seats or are purchasing a seated season ticket for the first time we will do our best to accommodate your preferences if you have a specific row/block you want to be seated in or a family/friendship group you’d like to sit with. Also, if there is an extenuating circumstance preventing you from renewing before July 1st please get in touch to discuss options. You can use our contact form to get in touch and select "Season Tickets" as the subject.

Season Cards

From the beginning of the 21/22 season, we’ve been offering the option of having your ticket delivered digitally to your mobile phone, take-up of this has been great with nearly half of you now choosing to use your mobile phone to gain access at the turnstile. We had a large number of uncollected physical cards last season and as part of our drive to cut down the use of plastic we’re going to be offering the digital ticket option as the primary method of access moving forwards. This means that anyone who should need/want a physical ticket there will be a small surcharge of £5 to provide one. You will be able to request this on application. For any fans who held a physical card for the 22/23 season these will be re-activated provided there has been no change in any of the detail on them e.g Ticket Class/Category etc. More information on season cards can be found here: https://yourclub.darlingtonfc.co.uk/season-cards
