Dale are just One Win From Wembley!
We’re into the last four of the Isuzu FA Trophy and welcome Spennymoor Town for the chance to reach the final at Wembley Stadium in May.
Let’s get the Crown Oil Arena rocking and back Jimmy McNulty’s men as we aim to reach our first ever Wembley cup final!
Tickets are on general sale and are available to purchase HERE. They will be on sale right up until kick-off, but we urge supporters to buy as soon as possible in order to avoid queues on the day.
We would like to reiterate that kick-off is at 3pm, despite some outlets reporting elsewhere reporting a 12.30pm kick-off, which has never been the case.
Following discussions with Spennymoor on ticket prices – which must be agreed between both clubs – they have been reduced to the lowest mutually agreeable price of £12 for adults.
Full prices are as follows:
| Adults | £12 |
| Seniors | £8 |
| 21-and-under | £5 |
| Under-14 | £3 |
All regular home stands will be open, along with the Willbutts Lane Stand, which after gaining permission from the relevant authorities, will now be split between home and away fans (on sale from 1pm Thursday).
Please ensure you select the correct Block if purchasing in these stands (home – Blocks O & N | away – Blocks R, S & T). Supporters who have already purchased a ticket for another stand cannot swap into the Willbutts.
Seats in the David Kilpatrick Main Stand and Smith Metals Family Stand are now sold out, but a few hundred spaces do remain available in the Sandy Lane.
Please note that Block U in the Smith Metals Family Stand will be closed due to segregation reasons.
Read on for full details on tickets, what’s on at the stadium on the day and Lounge Passes.
BUY TICKETS
Tickets are available to purchase online HERE, in-person at the Ticket Office or over the phone (opening hours and contact details).
There is no limit on the number of tickets supporters can purchase in one order, but please note that Junior (Under-14) tickets must be purchased in conjunction with an Adult or Senior ticket.
They will be on sale right up until kick-off.
FOOD & DRINK
In partnership with Scratch Catering, there will be a food van located on the Crown Oil Arena car park, along with all of the usual kiosk outlets inside the stadium.
The Ratcliffe Bar opens at midday and is Happy Hour pricing right up until kick-off (3pm). Pints of San Miguel and Manchester Craft are priced at £4, with Carlsberg, Somersby Cider and JW Lees Original, Smooth/Cask MPA, Stout at just £3. We are also selling four bottles of Budweiser for £10.
In a change of schedule, the first FA Trophy semi-final between Aldershot Town and Woking (12.30pm kick-off) will be live on our screens, whilst there will be a special appearance and Q&A with fan favourite Ryan East at around 1.15pm.
Spennymoor fans will receive a warm welcome too.
SHOW YOUR COLOURS
We are encouraging all supporters to show their colours and create a wall of blue, black and white at the Crown Oil Arena on Saturday.
The club will also be handing out Dale scarves, flags and balloons on the day. Click HERE for full details.
LOUNGE PASSES
As with our quarter-final tie against Altrincham, we’re offering supporters the opportunity to purchase a Lounge Pass for the fixture for just £5. This gives fans access to the 1907 Lounge and Andrew Kelly Lettings Bar areas before, during and after the game.
Food will be available to purchase through our catering partners Scratch, whilst there will be a Q&A with a former Dale player before kick-off and the opportunity to attend the Man of the Match presentation after the game. Please note that this pass is only available to supporters who have a ticket in the David Kilpatrick Main Stand.
You can buy a Lounge Pass online HERE, in-person at the Ticket Office or over the phone (opening hours and contact details).
When buying online, Lounge Passes must be added to your basket separately from your match ticket. Once you have added your match ticket(s) to your basket, visit the Match Day Tickets page and scroll down to the Lounge Pass link. From here, you can select the number of passes required and add to your basket, before heading to checkout.
It is important to remember that any supporter who purchases a Lounge Pass but has a ticket for the Smith Metals Family Stand or Sandy Lane will not be able to access the lounge.
SPREAD THE WORD!
You can help us spread the word about the semi-final around the town by downloading the poster below and displaying wherever possible!
The club have also ordered leaflets which are available to collect from the Main Reception and Club Shop. Click HERE to view our opening hours.
