    How Darlington FC online ticketing works

    Any fans found purchasing an incorrect ticket type i.e. an adult purchasing a child ticket, or failing to provide proof of concession will be refused entry and no refunds will be given. ID will be requested by DFC turnstile operators.

    Full ticket terms & conditions can be found HERE.

    FURTHER INFORMATION

    On site car parking is available for away fans. Darlington FC are expecting demand for the car park to be high for this fixture so buying in advance is strongly recommended. You can purchase online at a cost of £5 per car.

    If you are a Blue Badge holder please email ray.simpson@darlingtonfc.org to make enquiries about reserving a Blue Badge space.

    There will be a catering truck at the away end to provide hot and cold drinks plus food for all supporters. Unfortunately due to segregation access to the clubhouse bar for away supporters is not possible on this occasion.
