Following the welcome news from the National League of the new season start date of 3rd October 2020, Torquay United AFC is now in a position to confirm Season Ticket arrangements for the 2020/21 season, as the club embarks on the next chapter in its quest to regain Football League status.
With Plainmoor’s capacity likely to be significantly reduced for the forthcoming season due to the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the club has decided to take a proactive approach by implementing a structured release of Season Ticket availability. The initial release of ticketing allocation will be restricted to 2019/20 Season Ticket holders renewing their Season Tickets for the first two weeks, with further staged releases following constant review by the club, who will continue to liaise with all governing bodies including the National League throughout.
In these unprecedented times, we trust the Yellow Army understand and appreciate the club’s structured release policy for 2020/2021 Season Tickets.
Despite the challenges Torquay United AFC has faced in the absence of matchday revenue during the past five months, the club fully recognises the impact the pandemic will have had on all of our of supporters too. Therefore, the club has made the decision to freeze 2020/21 Season Ticket prices to match last year’s prices, in addition to introducing another early purchase window, following last year’s incredibly popular ‘Champions Rate’, which represented significant savings on both standard Season Ticket rates, as well as matchday prices.
With the handling of cash payments being limited across the world due to risks associated with the recent global pandemic, Torquay United AFC has decided to join a growing number of stadiums throughout the country in operating cashless turnstiles ahead of the forthcoming campaign.
This move will be facilitated by our new look & easy to use ticketing website here, where both Season Tickets and future individual match tickets will be available to purchase, subject to availability.
With large numbers of the Yellow Army already choosing to purchase their matchday tickets via card payment, the impact of introducing cashless turnstiles throughout Plainmoor will not force a change in habits for the majority of our supporters.
As well as reducing any related health risks, cashless turnstiles will also benefit supporters’ matchday experience by improving the speed of service and cutting queue times when accessing the stadium.
