Pre-Match Day Information

If you’ve purchased a ticket it will have been emailed to you already, so you can either print it out at home or have it scanned via your mobile phone at one of the entrances – you must bring one form of your e-ticket with you to the match.

Please read all of the important information that accompanied your e-ticket. It details how to use your e-ticket, which entrance of the Stadium you should arrive at and what’s expected of you at the match.

Access for this fixture is either at the Nevil Road entrance (BS7 9EJ) or the Ashley Down Road End entrance (BS7 9BU).

Please allow sufficient time to enter the Stadium. Queues are likely, plus bag searches will be taking place - be patient and bear with us.

Access for Members

Gloucestershire Cricket Members will be able to gain entry using just their 2022 Membership card. This access is available for all our membership packages, including our all-new Junior Membership and BS7 gym membership. Only the Hammond Roof will be restricted to Members, and the Korev Terrace for hospitality participants.

We’re Cashless!

Please be aware that ALL of the Seat Unique Stadium is now cashless, so bring along a debit or credit card for all food, drinks and merchandise purchases.

Kid’s Activities & T20 Entertainment

In our kid’s activation zone, we’re really excited to be showcasing our brand new Reaction Wall – come and have a try, see if you can beat the players’ reaction times! You’ll also find a bowling cage and cricket coaching there too.

If your kids love having a large ‘4’ or ‘6’ card, ready for a boundary, they can either pick one up at the entrances or now make their own. They can paint or draw onto thick seed paper, use it through the game and then take it home to plant afterwards.

The big screens are back for this double header showing all the action. Entertainment will also include the legendary Big Apple Race at the interval, where two supporters will race giant inflatable Thatchers apples in a bid to win a case of Thatchers Gold Cider.

Everyone will have the chance to win a case of Thatchers Gold in our Golden Ticket competition. The lucky winner will be picked at random from the crowd. But if you don’t win the cider be ready, as free T20 Blast t-shirts could be blasted into the crowd at any moment…

And don’t forget, you can still win a signed match-worn T20 shirt, of Glos's big-hitting international Glenn Phillips – all ticket holders will be automatically entered into the draw!

Spectator Behaviour

As much as many of us enjoy a drink and a laugh at a T20 evening, please drink responsibly and consider your language and behaviour. The T20 Blast is for all the family, so be aware of those sitting near you and make the evening an enjoyable one for everyone.

If you find yourself sat near someone drinking or behaving irresponsibly, please let us know and the stewards will resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Either speak to a steward or report the behaviour anonymously via text message to the following number: 07860 027799

Please also remember to WATCH THE BALL. When a four or six is hit, the ball may be coming your way, into the stand, at speed. Keep your eyes peeled so you’re not taken by surprise (injuries can occur).

Scorecards & Glos Merchandise

Scorecards will be available from the Club Shop for £1.50, together with all sorts of Glos merchandise. For the first time ever, we have a full range of New Balance training wear available, as well as 2022 T20 replica match day shirts, plus caps and leisure wear.
