Member/ Season Ticket holder seating

With reserved seating being in place for all of our home Vitality Blast fixtures this season, members and Season Ticket holders are required to claim their seat for each fixture, at no extra cost.

To do, individuals should log in to their ticketing account, then scroll down to My Personal Offers via the Account section.

Should you have any queries, kindly contact the ticket office on 0115 899 0300 (Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4.30pm) or questions@nottsccc.co.uk. 

 

 

Seating areas

When choosing your seats, you'll notice that the PKF Smith Cooper Stand now consists of an alcohol-free zone and a family area in which alcohol is permitted (but in which each group must contain a junior ticket), plus some seating that is exclusively available to our members.

Block 1 of the PKF Smith Cooper Stand (nearest the William Clarke Stand) is now reserved for members, while Blocks 4 and 5 are our family area, and Block 6 (nearest the smaller replay screen) is an alcohol-free area. Simply hover your mouse over each area of the stand to confirm which zone it belongs to.

As a result of these changes, alcohol will now be permitted in the William Clarke Stand. The Pavilion remains reserved solely for members.

When you are asked to assign your seats before completing your purchase, you can simply assign all seats to yourself. The only exception to this will be when securing seats for members or Season Ticket holders, when you should assign them to the individual in question.

 

Covid safety measures

While Covid restrictions in England have been lifted, we kindly request that you do not attend our venue if you are testing positive for, or believe you may have, Covid-19. Face coverings are a matter of personal choice, however we continue to request that you practice impeccable hand-hygiene throughout your visit.

Should you need to visit the Ticket Office during a busy period and do not feel comfortable within a confined space, feel free to pop outside the ground and visit one of the external windows instead.
