- Glamorgan Members, ECB & Glamorgan Commercial Partners – allocated based on attendance percentage authorised by Welsh Government
- Glamorgan Season Ticket holders
- Glamorgan NHS Hero tickets
- All ticket purchasers– allocated based on the time/date of purchase, with those who purchased first receiving priority access

HOW MANY TICKETS CAN I REQUEST?
 

At present, there is no limitation on the number of tickets you can buy.  We will be following government advice for household and social bubbles. We will contact you, should your number of tickets need to be revised based on your group.

 

CAN I ONLY PURCHASE GROUP TICKETS FOR THOSE IN MY BUBBLE?
 

All supporters will be expected to act in line with government advice and restrictions. Therefore, supporters will need to request tickets with this in mind. At present, we are not limiting ticket purchases based on uncertainties.

 

I REQUIRE ACCESSIBILITY SEATING, HOW DO I REQUEST A TICKET?
 

All accessibility seats are managed by our Membership and Ticketing Team, they will be happy to help over the phone on 02920 409 380, or via email at tickets@glamorgancricket.co.uk
Please be aware we are still operating with reduced staffing levels and therefore your enquiry may take slightly longer than usual to be dealt with, the team are available between the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

 

I HAVE NOT PURCHASED A TICKET, SEASON TICKET OR MEMBERSHIP FROM GLAMORGAN BEFORE - CAN I STILL BOOK ONLINE?
 

Yes, if you have not previously purchased a ticket, T20 Season Ticket, or Membership from Glamorgan Cricket, you are able to book HERE.

 

WHAT CHANGES CAN I EXPECT REGARDING THE ARRANGEMENTS OF THE GROUND e.g. ONE-WAY SYSTEMS, SEATING, MOVEMENT ETC?
 

It is likely attending a match this season will have a different look and feel compared to previous years. But the exact set up will depend on government advice and restrictions at that point in time. For example, like many venues we are likely to employ one-way systems, temperature checks and sanitisation stations.
Any changes implemented will be done to keep players, staff, officials, members and fans safe whilst at the ground and will be communicated by the club prior to the fixtures.

 

 

 

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED TICKETING QUESTIONS

 

I have booked a ticket under the "Email Me My Ticket" option, what happens next?
 

You will be emailed a confirmation email after purchasing, so please make sure you enter in you email address accurately. This is NOT your ticket. The ticket/s will be attached to the email in PDF format.

Please open this attachment and print the tickets contained within. A single A4 sheet will print for EACH ticket you have purchased i.e. if you have booked 4 tickets the PDF file should print off 4 separate sheets of A4 each with a unique 'Ticket Number'.

It is important that you ensure you have enough black ink to print these tickets to a good standard. Please do not use glossy paper as this tends to blur the barcodes and the scanner will not read them properly.

There can be large queues at the ticket booth close to the start of the game so needing to have your ticket reprinted may incur a long wait and hence missing the start of the game. Please ensure the print-offs are of good quality and you leave plenty of time before the start of the game to 'scan in'.

 

How does the row lettering system work when booking tickets?
 

--The rows run alphabetically starting at A (row 1) closest to the pitch up to row Z (row 23). Row 24 is AA, row 25 is BB, and so on.

(If you are wondering why there are only 23 letters in our alphabet it is because we do not use letters I, O, or U for row designations)

 

I have purchased a ticket but now a friend of mine is interested in attending the match, can I add them to my group?
 

Yes, absolutely. It works slightly differently for International matches as it does to domestic games though.
Domestic games are general admission so simply buy another ticket online, over the phone or even on the day if your friend is unsure about their availability (advanced price and on-day price may vary).

For an international match you would need to call the ticket line (02920 419 311). We would find your existing order and see if there are any seats next to it. If not there is an option to move your existing order to an area that would allow us to add more seats. This is much simpler if the tickets haven't been printed so please try to do this 8 weeks before the game.

 

Do I have to go in the 'Alcohol Free' area if I have a under-17s with me?
 

No, for International matches you can purchase a ticket in any Category C seating area. These include the Jellyfish Family Stand (alcohol-free) and the Pro Steel Grandstand (alcohol permitted). Please be aware that the under 17s rate is only applicable in these areas. An under 17s ticket is full price in Category A and B seating.
We have a social responsibility towards our customers so please be aware that the Foster's Grandstand can get very lively for International matches so please consider this when booking for young children.

 

I have purchased an under 17s ticket but I need to swap it for an adult ticket. Can I do this?
 

Yes, absolutely. We often get customers who didn't realise the junior would turn 17 before the day of the match or who have someone in their party who cannot make it and are replaced with someone of a different age category. To swap your ticket just call the ticket line on 02920 419 311 and please have your order number ready.

Tickets for international matches are posted approx 6 weeks before the match. Please upgrade before the tickets are posted for a swift service.

 

I'm trying to book a ticket but it is telling me there are none available. What can I do?
 

Often it is a particular stand or just a block within the stand that is sold out or not on sale for whatever reason. When selecting a ticket try leaving the 'Stand' and 'Block' fields empty and just click 'Best Available'. This will take you to the first available seat in the ground. Alternatively, call the ticket office on 02920 419 311.

 

I've booked a ticket for a domestic match at Sophia Gardens, but there are seat numbers on my order. Does this mean I have to sit in a particular seat on the day?
 

No, scheduled domestic matches are general admission matches therefore on the day of the match you are welcome to sit in any public available stand. The stewards can let you know which sections are open. The system has to count how many people have bought tickets so it doesn't sell too many and will therefore allocate you a seat on the system but you are not obliged to sit there. Your ticket will not have a seat number on it, it will simply advise you to sit in any available public stand.

 

I've noticed that there are a number of restricted view seats available. How do I find out why these are restricted?
 

Unfortunately there is no way of doing this by looking at the map. The two reasons that a seat would be restricted are:
1. There is an obstruction that blocks off a section of the out field.
2. A section of a hand rail breaks your field of vision.
Often these obstructions are very minor and not an issue for a taller person. Please do call the ticket line if you have any concerns over the seat you are booking.

 

I am a blue badge holder. Is there parking available at the Stadium?
 

On a domestic match we have a limited number of parking spaces available. To enquire about these please call 02920 409 380.

We can, on occasion, provide stadium parking facilities during international matches. Please call 02920 409 380 to discuss this further.

 

What is the situation with the purchase of wheelchair/ambulant disabled tickets?
 

For all Glamorgan and international fixtures, the above tickets are sold at full price but the carer ticket is free of charge. Please call 02920 419311 to make such a booking. Proof of disability will be required, as per Level Playing Field guidelines.

 

I notice that some of your homes fixtures are not played at Sophia Gardens Cardiff. Why is this?
 

We play selected fixtures at 'Outgrounds', most recently The Gnoll in Neath, Spytty Park in Newport, St. Helen's in Swansea, and Colwyn Bay. All four venues traditionally have strong local support, with members of these clubs providing fantastic support throughout our long history, creating a wonderful atmosphere. It is a great honor to showcase top-flight Welsh cricket to fans who may not typically be able to attend matches at Sophia Gardens.
