Are tickets available?

All tickets for the match have now sold out. Please do not travel to or attend the venue without one.

I have purchased a ticket second hand – can I use it?

The club are only able to guarantee tickets purchased officially from us, or from West Ham United for away fans. If you  have purchased a ticket via unofficial means, online or from someone offering them, please be careful. Each individual ticket within the stadium has one, single unique number – once scanned and used at the turnstile, it cannot be used again.

In short, unless you have a ticket purchased via official means, you run the risk of being refused entry to the stadium.

If you have made an official purchase, please check it carefully ahead of time, as no tickets will be re-printed  after midday on Thursday, 3rd February.

Is match day parking available?

Unfortunately, due to a COVID Testing Site being on site adjacent to Aggborough and a substantial BBC television operation also at the stadium, there is no parking available for supporters. Please make alternative arrangements and plan your journey accordingly. There is usually good access to local parking facilities near to the ground and Kidderminster town centre, but parking fees may apply.

When parking please be considerate of local residents.

How will entry to the ground work?

Please enter the stadium via the Turnstile printed on your match ticket. Please do not attempt to enter any other part of the stadium. Turnstiles will be open from 11am.

Is there additional security?

Please arrive as early as possible on the day of the match, as extensive searches are to be carried out at turnstiles.

Due to the actions of a small minority at our previous FA Cup matches, our safety team, Police and local authority have once again had to increase the security operation on the day.

In addition to searches at the turnstile, there will be pyro dogs operating outside the stadium to ensure no prohibited items are taken to the ground.

Please be aware that any supporters found to be in possession of prohibited items (such as but not limited to pyrotechnics) outside the ground will be refused entry, handed over to Police and issued with a club banning order. Where such items are found inside the ground, supporters will be ejected and risk criminal prosecution in addition to a club ban.

The possession and consumption of alcohol inside the stadium is also prohibited, while entering the field of play, dugouts or other Red Zones is a criminal, arrestable offence.

Are there any COVID Protocols?

Be mindful that some attendees to the match may still be more comfortable wearing a face covering. While it may not be a legal requirement to so outside in the stadium, we are requesting all supporters to do so where possible.

Please scan into the Stadium using the NHS COVID-19 Test & Trace App wherever possible.  QR codes are available at the entry to each turnstile. It is not at present a requirement to present a COVID Passport to attend a match at Aggborough.

Use hand sanitiser which will be available at points around the ground.

For the avoidance of doubt, we would ask any supporter suffering COVID-19 symptoms to stay away from the ground and follow Government guidance.

Will the match be televised?

The match will be aired live on BBC 1 and on BBC iPlayer. Coverage gets underway from noon on the day.

Will there be a match programme?

Yes, a limited edition, 68-page bumper souvenir issue of The Harrier will be available from the Club Shop and around the ground.
