Season Tickets 2026-27

For just the second time in the last ten years, prices have increased. We fully understand the challenges that the cost-of-living crisis is bringing upon people in Rochdale. However, with the club also facing the same rising costs as many of our local businesses, as well as a mandatory EFL levy, we have made the difficult decision to increase prices across our Adult and Senior Season Tickets by circa 10%.

As a Club, we also recognise the need to encourage as many younger supporters as possible to catch the Dale bug, which is why we have introduced a FREE Season Ticket for all Under-14s*. Further to this, our Young Person (Under-22) Season Ticket has been capped at £100 for the 26/27 campaign.

Prices in full are as follows:

Season Tickets are on general sale now, both online and in person.

Existing Season Ticket seats will be locked until midday on Monday 8^th June for existing holders to renew their seat for the 26/27 campaign.

From this time, all seat reservations will be lifted and available to purchase.

Season Tickets in all stands for our Under-14s are free in 2026/27*!

To qualify for a Junior Season Ticket, youngsters must be aged 13 on 1^st September 2026 (i.e., in Year 9 or below of secondary school). Proof of age may be required at the time of purchase.

There is a limit of two free Junior Season Tickets per every Adult purchase. Any additional Junior Season Tickets can be purchased for £50 each. Sales in the Main Stand are restricted to 100 and are not available in our Premium Padded Seats.

These can be purchased online, over the phone and in person at the Dale Ticket Office.

Due to this offer of free Juniors, the Family Season Ticket has been removed.

Season Tickets for all supporters aged under-22 have been capped at £100!

When purchasing online, we ask that a proof of age is required to complete the order.

Due to the popularity of our 1907 Lounge Passes, only those supporters who purchased a Premium Padded Seat last season will have the option to buy again for 2026/27.

Whilst Lounge Passes will not be on sale, we are delighted to confirm that The Ratcliffe Bar will be undergoing a full refurb in the coming weeks. More details on this space will follow shortly, as will information on a refurb of our Main Reception and Andrew Kelly Lettings Bar.

We’re pleased to confirm that approval has been received to trial a safe standing section in U Block of the Smith Metals Family Stand.

The atmosphere that U Block generated during the 2025/26 season was superb and fully appreciated by the players, contributing to our promotion-winning season.

In an update to the original communication, the whole of U Block will now be safe standing. This means that rows A-F are now also on sale, along with the remaining rows, which are G-U.

An Exiles Season Ticket allows access to ten home league matches of their choice, starting from just £132.

Supporters who are renewing their Exiles Season Ticket will be allocated a seat for the 2026/27 campaign as usual.

They are available to those living beyond 50 miles of the Crown Oil Arena. Supporters will be required to provide proof of address via a current utility bill upon purchase. Please note, Exiles Season Tickets are only available to purchase in person or over the phone.

Disabled supporters pay the relevant price band with their carer free of charge.

Disabled pricing applies to supporters who are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independent Payment (PIP) or Attendance allowance. Documented evidence will be required pre-purchase and before Season Tickets are issued.

Carers of supporters who receive DLA, PIP or Attendance allowance will be issued with a free carer ticket.

If you are renewing or are a new purchaser, please contact our Disability Liaison Officer by emailing disability.liaisonofficer@rochdaleafc.co.uk or by calling 07734 961927.

Where possible and when required, Season Ticket holders will have priority on purchasing tickets for away matches and cup ties.

More details on this will follow on a game-by-game basis.

A Fan Card Membership will once again offer a perfect alternative to a Season Ticket, for adult supporters who can’t make all home league matches.

The price for this will remain at just £5 and will continue to offer £5 off matchday admission prices. These will be available to buy online, as well as in person or over the phone.

Please note that these are available to adults and seniors only.

Physical Season Tickets will continue to be available, with a £10 administration charge applied at the time of purchase.

However, we continue to encourage supporters to use the Fanbase app to store your Season Ticket, which saves on printing costs, reduces purchase time and avoids the potential loss of your tickets.

As with last season, supporters will have the option of paying via Klarna for their Season Ticket. Klarna will be available at the time of purchase and offers supporters an interest-free way of purchasing their Season Ticket. Payments are split into three, with one at the time of purchase, plus further payments in the following two months.

Pay by Klarna will be available until Monday 13th July.

If you have purchased a physical Season Ticket and require this to be posted to your chosen address, this will cost £10, plus the £10 charge for a physical ticket detailed above.

Details on how and when to collect your Season Tickets will be confirmed in due course.

Our matchday ticket prices for the 2026/27 season will be confirmed as soon as possible, following discussions with the EFL around all ticketing policies.

Supporters who have lost or forgotten their physical Season Ticket will be charged the price of a match ticket for their relevant stand/age band. This will then be refunded in the days following a match, once analysis has been undertaken to ensure the Season Ticket has not been scanned.

Supporters who lose their Season Ticket and require a new one will be charged £15, and their previous ticket will be cancelled. However, this will not be actioned on a matchday.

Season Ticket holders do have the option of swapping stands for most matchdays at the Crown Oil Arena.

There will be a blanket £10 fee per match to do so, regardless of which stands you are swapping between.
