Ticket refund policy

For days 1 to 4 of the Test Match:  If, for the day for which the ticket is valid (where the date of the match has changed this means the new date of the match), the venue is unable to admit spectators OR play does not take place OR play is restricted, you will be entitled to a refund of only the match ticket value subject to there being: (a) non admittance of spectators OR zero to 15 overs played - a full refund; (b) 15.1 overs to 30 overs played - a 50% refund. In no other circumstances can money be refunded. 

In respect of tickets purchased in advance for the day on which this ticket is valid, the refund process will be commenced automatically by Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club to the original purchaser only. Any refunds will be processed either by refunding to the debit or credit card used to make the purchase or by BACS payment. 

For refund queries, please contact our ticket office via questions@nottsccc.co.uk or 0115 899 0300. Further information is available at www.ecb.co.uk/refundscheme. Please allow 30 days for the refund process to take place.

This refund policy does not apply to day 5 of Test Matches.  For day 5 tickets, a full refund may be claimed on the value of the ticket only if there is no play because of adverse weather conditions or completion of the match.

 

Covid safety measures

Please do not attend our venue if you or anyone within your household undergoes symptoms of Covid-19, incurs a positive test or if you have been asked to self-isolate by NHS test and trace.

Meanwhile, for everybody's safety and peace of mind, we are encouraging all spectators – on a voluntary basis – to follow the guidance outlined below:

We know many of our spectators will be double vaccinated, and will have received the second jab more than 14 days prior.

If that is the case, you need take no further action ahead of the day of the game. 

If you are not double vaccinated, we heartily encourage you to conduct a lateral flow Covid test, which are available to order from the government website here or from local pharmacies, within 48 hours of your visit and not to attend if the result is positive. 

Once in the ground, we ask that you retain impeccable hand hygiene, use the sanitisers provided around the ground and apply a face covering as you move around the venue.

Pssssssst! For clarity, the above measures are requested on a voluntary basis only. They will not be enforced, and are not a condition of entry.

All spectators visiting with children can take advantage of our free wrist band system. Simply collect your band from one of our gate stewards or volunteers, or alternatively ask a member of staff on the Radcliffe Road Reception or Ticket Office.

These details will then help a steward reunite you with your child should you become separated or should he or she get lost around the ground.

Cameras and mobile devices

Please note that the use of any cameras, mobile devices or any electronic equipment for the recording, transmission or communication of match footage, details, statistics, images (on any platforms including but not limited to websites and social media) etc, is not permitted, other than with the proper accreditation. All ground regulations apply.

You can, however, take pictures for your own personal use, providing you do not use specialist equipment such as telephoto lenses, tripods or mono pods.

Accredited photographers will be present during the match and will be taking images for use on our printed marketing materials and digital channels. If you or anyone in your party would not like photographing, then please inform our photographer or your nearest steward.

You can view a full list of ground regulations here.

 

Contacting the Ticket Office

Kindly note that, to avoid indoor face to face contact for the safety of our staff, the Ticket Office will not be open for spectators as a walk-in facility inside the ground during the course of the event.

Members of our friendly team will be available at the windows to resolve any issues before you enter the venue and will be contactable throughout at questions@nottsccc.co.uk or 0115 899 0300.

Spectators will be permitted to enter the building in order to access other facilities.

 

Pavilion Access

It has been deemed essential that we continue to protect the integrity of the accommodation required for players, support staff and officials.

Consequently, the Pavilion building, including the Long Room, will be restricted to use by those individuals, and we will unfortunately not be able to provide an indoor facility for members at this fixture.

Whilst being able to provide indoor access as usual would of course have been our preference, we have brought in additional facilities to ensure that all relevant amenities are close by.

 

After the match

Just a few hours after close of play, look out for your exclusive email to those that purchased tickets. It includes reaction to the game, photographs and the opportunity to provide feedback on your matchday experience with us. Please feel free to forward this communication to those that attended the fixture with you.
