Home spectators should use the four turnstiles to the left on the clubhouse, numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. Any spectators found in the incorrect section of the stadium will be in breach of the Club's stadium rules and may be ejected.

The Club are mindful of the limited parking we have available at the ground. Following the advice received from Essex Police, the Club have decided to charge for entry into the car park - with a flat rate of £2 for all users. Essex Police have also suggested that the car park be closed prior to kick-off to ensure that there is no congestion between pedestrian spectators and vehicles. No vehicles will be allowed entry into the car park within one hour prior to kick-off.

Those travelling to the Cressing Road Stadium for the first time can find more information on how best to travel by clicking on the 'Find Us' link above. The Clubhouse at the Cressing Road Stadium can only be accessed from inside the designated home section of the ground.

Ticket Office - Clubhouse?

[ealingiron]

I'll let someone with more knowledge confirm but on Saturday the ticket office was in the building to the right of the clubhouse, with signs up to point the clueless (me) in the right direction.

[Iron Webbo]

Office to the right as you come in thru the gates - follow the signs!

[e7cm7]

Thank you ealingiron & IW.

[mooresy25]

Few people already saying they can't make the collection dates/times specified (including me). Seems rather silly to me not allowing pay on the gate, may well have an impact on the crowd.

[robsmia]

Non payment at the gate is probably a Police stipulation.

It stops opposition without tickets gate crashing the match, Seems sensible to me.

[pele]

Sensible perhaps but does'nt help loyal get tickets with these times

[ashonthepa]

Agreed I'm not sure we will be at capacity (4,151)...but with it being a lovely sunny day Sunday pay on gate would have packed the rafters in I fear all ticket will keep a few away specially with it on the box...no doubt the town and market square will be packed watching it as well which is ashame rather than folk attending the game...for me personally I shall miss the tannoy at our biggest game since I first supported us in 1984!! A truly remarkable run to 3rd place and a great half time result last night coyi!!!

[essexblue12]

Am assuming there is no limit to the amount of tickets I can buy tomorrow afternoon? I am coming down to buy about 8 tickets for various family members and friends. They are not going to be limited to a certain amount per person are they?

Hi Iron Webbo

Are full-time (sixth form) students classed as concessions?

Cheers
