Should you be visiting us for the Vitality International T20 between England and Pakistan on Friday 16 July, read on to learn all the information you need to ensure maximum enjoyment from the game at Trent Bridge.

Please use the links below to navigate your way through the guide – and download a map of our venue here.

 

Ticketholder action required

Further action is required by all ticket holders in order to secure your seats for the Vitality IT20 between England and Pakistan at Trent Bridge.

It’s really rather important that you read and follow the information below.

As the match is a pilot event under the auspices of the Event Research Programme, you’ll need to demonstrate via one of the approved methods outlined below that you have either received your second vaccination 14 days or more prior to the event, or have produced a negative lateral flow test result.

Kindly note that this applies to all spectators and, therefore, if you are a lead booker, you will need to forward this information to everyone within your party.

 

What to do if you are fully vaccinated

If you are fully vaccinated, and your second vaccination took place more than 14 days ago, you can generate an NHS Covid Pass via one of the methods outlined below.

Kindly note that an NHS Covid Pass lasts for:

  • 48 hours from the time of a negative lateral flow test; or
  • 28 days if you are proving your Covid status via having received your second vaccination (providing you received your second dose at least two weeks ago).

Please be mindful of these timeframes when generating your pass, and note that showing a vaccination appointment card will not be sufficient to gain entry.

Information on how to generate an NHS Covid Pass is outlined below, with the preferred method for those registered with a GP in England and aged 16 or over being via the NHS App.

Option 1: By downloading and registering for the NHS App

Click here to download the NHS App on an Apple device or here to do so on an Android phone.

To generate your pass (for 'event trials'), click on ‘Get Your NHS Covid Pass’ and follow the on screen instructions.

Option 2: Via the NHS website

You can generate an NHS Covid Pass via the NHS website here...

If neither of the digital methods are available to you, kindly call 119 at your earliest opportunity. 

If you are a resident of Wales, Scotland or any other devolved administration area that provides their own certified equivalent of the NHS Covid Pass, this will also be accepted as proof of Covid status on the gate.

If such certification isn’t available to you at this time, the method of securing entry will be via lateral flow testing as per the below.

 

 

What to do if you are not fully vaccinated

Proof of a negative lateral flow test, which must be taken within 48 hours of attending the event, can be shown alongside a valid match ticket to gain entry.

For those aged 16 or over and registered with a GP in England, the preferred method by which to demonstrate your lateral flow test is by generating an NHS Covid Pass having downloaded and registered for the NHS App (kindly note that this is different to the NHS Covid-19 app being used for track and trace).

Alternative methods, including those that are available to UK residents outside of England and those aged 11-15, are also available and referred to below.

Click here to download the NHS App on an Apple device or here to do so on an Android phone.

Lateral flow tests can be ordered to your home address for free via the government website or collected from a local pharmacy.

We would encourage people to attend a testing centre to help with the correct method of taking a lateral flow test.

You will need to submit the result of your lateral flow test here and this will automatically populate within your profile on the NHS App, which will in turn allow you to generate a Covid Pass.

We would heartily recommend taking the option provided of either downloading a PDF copy or receiving an offline copy by email, just in case your phone signal proves to be a little tardy on the day, albeit you will be able to show your NHS Covid Pass on screen in order to gain entry.

Alternatively, you have the option of receiving your proof of lateral flow test by email or SMS and showing that on the gate alongside your match ticket to gain entry. This method is available to overseas nationals, residents of devolved administration areas such as Scotland and Wales and those aged 11-15, all via the above link.

 

Important information about your tickets

If you selected the option of e-tickets, please be aware that the PDF attachment to your booking confirmation is not your match tickets. 

Kindly be sure to log into your ticketing account and download your tickets by selecting the My Orders option within the Account section of the site. 

From there, you’ll be able to either print them at home, store them in your Apple Wallet or download them to your mobile phone. 

If you opted to receive printed tickets and they have not arrived, kindly let us know via questions@nottsccc.co.uk.

Travel Information

Ticket holders travelling to the event are advised to follow the Department for Transport's Safer Travel guidance advice.

A full, downloadable travel guide – featuring maps of car parks and routes for trains, trams and buses – is available here.

 

Travelling by car

Limited parking can be found on the Victoria Embankment (NG2 2FH), priced at £10 per car and £30 per coach (cash only). Kindly note that, with an Adventure Cinema event taking place on the Embankment on the same evening, parking may be more limited than usual.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing presence of a Covid-19 PCR testing centre – and additional facilities relating to this match – public parking will not be available on the County Hall car park.

Anyone travelling by car from outside the city can take advantage of NET’s seven free park & ride facilities located around Nottingham. The most convenient tram park & ride site for the A453 can be found at Clifton South (17-minute tram travel time), while parking is also available at Toton Lane (31-minute tram travel time).

As an added incentive to take the tram, NET will be running its £2.50 return event ticket offer (see travelling by tram, below).

If you have a spare seat in your car, or are looking for a ride, www.nottinghamshare.com, the free-to-use car share website, could save you money on your transport costs.

 

A52 roadworks

Highways England have now begun a programme of major roadworks on the A52 to the East of Trent Bridge, at the Bingham Road (Harlequin) junction. While the road will remain open, lane closures and temporary traffic lights will be in place, and Highways England are advising drivers to use the A46 and A606 as a diversion (for vehicles shorter than 4.4m).

NET will be running its £2.50 return event ticket offer for all match ticket holders and members.

To take advantage of the deal, you need to select the Event Ticket option from the ticket vending machine before boarding the tram, and make sure you have your match ticket to hand for inspection.

No appointment is needed.

Arriving at the Ground

Please bring along some form of photographic identification, in case we need it to authenticate your NHS Covid Pass.

The gates of our venue will open at 4.30pm. Kindly approach the gate designated on your ticket and arrive as soon after that time as you can. We will be sure to keep you entertained both in our concourse areas and in your seat.

Please allow plenty of time to get into the venue, endeavour to keep bags and belongings to a minimum and engage with our friendly staff and volunteers, as the process will take a little longer than usual and we wouldn’t want you to miss any of the action.

Be sure to have your NHS Covid Pass or approved proof of Covid status ready, open and in your hand from as soon as you arrive within the queue, as well as having your ticket ready for our friendly stewards to scan.

 

Whilst you are within our venue

Although Covid legislation will not apply within Trent Bridge for the duration of the event, we would request that spectators apply a face covering whilst moving around the venue, albeit this will not be compulsory.

Please look out for directional signage, follow the advice of our friendly stewards and only use your allocated seat throughout.

Please behave responsibly, be courteous to your fellow spectators and our staff, and follow the instructions on the big screens and given by the match announcer on the day.

Due to the complexities regarding entry, we kindly request that you remain in the venue for the duration of the event once you arrive.

Kindly note that exit arrangements may be staggered in order to ensure safe passage for all.

Note that our usual ground regulations continue to apply.

Prior to arrival at our venue, and from when you leave, you will need to abide by Covid regulations.
