ROCHDALE HORNETS MATCH OPERATIONS AND TICKETING INITIATIVES

 

Rochdale Hornets provide the following update for fans, and spectators, ahead of the London and Swinton fixtures in July.

Our matchday operating procedures will change, as we no longer occupy the ground floor office and shop located in the main stand. The club's main office will remain as Box 12 during the week, but will be vacated for matchdays. We will therefore operate a cash and card ticketing desk from reception, which will be clearly marked on arrival for fans wishing to purchase tickets on the day. Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets online or in advance to avoid any unnecessary queues on matchday. We cannot accept cash payments on the turnstile - and you must have a valid ticket to enter the game.

Hospitality will be unaffected by the changes and we will be continue to receive fans through reception.

Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer a stadium store, but are working hard to find solutions for a temporary or pop-up shop in the near future. Fans wishing to purchase merchandise can do so via our Technical partner Supro Sport and by visiting our online store .

London Skolars – Sunday 24 July. 

The anticipated crowd is likely to be under 920 and therefore we will only operate half a main stand. Fans are welcome to join us in the lounge for refreshments, as normal, and we look forward to welcoming all fans. The turnstiles will be open from 2pm.

Swinton Lions - Sunday 31 July.

Following extensive discussions with RAFC, the capacity of the main stand will be reinstated to its capacity of 1600. Both Turnstiles 1-3 and 4-6 will be open with the relevant turnstile printed on your ticket. We are aiming to fill the main stand and as its likely to be a busy game, we remind all fans to buy online.

Hospitality for the Swinton game is now SOLD OUT but fans will be able to access the lounge after the final whistle. Refreshments will be available to those in the main stand via the usual main stand kiosks.

Car parking is limited and remains on a first come first serve basis. 

With an increase in capacity we are delighted to offer our two ticketing initiatives to local community clubs and groups:

 

1. FREE juniors and FREE support staff tickets. This means that your coaches and volunteers can bring their team at zero cost. To book simply order via tickets@hornetsrugbyleague.com or ask for Danny on  01706 648004. We’ll need the lead person's booking information and tickets will be emailed to you.

 

2. Discounted tickets for all your club members. Once your community club registers, you’ll receive a unique code allowing you to add an adult tickets to you basket for £10.00 with KIDS still FREE!

 

Any community groups looking to reward their Juniors are invited to get in touch.

We look forward to welcoming you all back to the Crown Oil Arena as we push for promotion. Please email info@hornetsrugbyleague.com if you have any questions.

Good to hear but we need to get out of Spotland long term.

Yes you do. It's finding an alternative venue that could be a problem.
