PLEASE NOTE THIS GAME IS AN ADVANCE TICKET SALE GAME. All tickets need to be purchased online in advance of Sunday.
With limited availability remaining for this wonderful event please note ticket sales will close at 10pm this evening (Saturday).
This event is being organised and operated by Sellebrity Soccer.
Turnstiles
Turnstiles will be opening at 1pm on the day.
We will be operating 2 turnstiles at our main Turnstile block next to the club shop.
With this being an all ticket in advance game there are NO tickets available on the day at the turnstiles.
Instead both Turnstiles will have the capabilities to scan the pre-purchased tickets.
Both turnstiles have relevant Social Distance markings on the floor outside them.
The match will kick-off at 3 PM.
Car Park
Our Supporters Car Park charges £2.00 to park on a match day.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept card payment for this.
So please ensure you have £2.00 available to pay on arrival.
We are aware of current CoVid cash handling suggestions.
There is NO free Season Ticket Holders Parking for this Sellebrity Soccer Charity Game.
Track & Trace
Before entering The Optima Stadium, you will be required to complete a Track & Trace system.
There are signs before entering the turnstiles and one in the turnstile.
There is the recognised NHS App version system.
Additionally, for those unable to use the NHS App there is a simple QR scan code that you scan using your mobile telephone, click on the link it gives you and then complete your details.
This is required for every visit you make to The Optima Stadium.
This is a legal requirement that the club must undertake.
Social Distancing
We do remind all supporters it is your responsibility to maintain current UK Government Social Distancing guidelines while you visit The Optima Stadium.
This includes all areas of the ground, inside and out, along with the seated areas.
Match Footballs
We do ask that supporters refrain from throwing any balls that leave the pitch and enter the supporters’ areas back on to the pitch.
A Steward or Ball Person will instead make their way to your location, gather the football, and return to the Home Dugout so that it can be cleaned before going back on to the pitch.
When balls leave the pitch in this manner the Home Dugout will be throwing another ball on to the pitch for the continuation of the game.
Facilities within Ground
Please note our Sportsman bar will NOT be open to the public prior to the match.
Once the turnstiles open at 1pm access can be made into the ground. Our Somerset Suite Bar, Kitchen and inside ground Joe’s Bar will all be open.
The Somerset Suite itself will have no access inside, however service will be made from the entrance doors into the ground.
Card payment can be made at all three locations.
All three areas do have ground markings detailing the social distancing requirements.
At busy times, such as half time we will be placing Stewards in these locations to remind supporters of the current social distancing requirements.
Club Shop
The Club Shop within The Optima Stadium will NOT be open for this Sellebrity Soccer Charity Game
Player Tunnel Gates
Due to current requirements to close these, for the players entry to the pitch and return from the pitch during their pre-match warm-up, there may be a slightly longer period before the game where these will have to remain closed. We do apologise in advance for this.
The Stewards will open them as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.
They will also be closed for a period at the beginning and end of Half-Time and, also at the conclusion of the game.
