As always, a season ticket remains the best-value way to watch the Valiants throughout the campaign, while memberships continue to offer supporters great savings on match tickets. Our 1876 Membership includes ticket discounts across the season.
Don’t forget, season tickets are free-of-charge once again for Under-12s (Hamil Road Stand only)!
Season ticket sales continue to show fantastic support from the Vale faithful, with over 6,000 season tickets sold to date.
Allocated seating - Lorne Street and Family Stand
For the 2026/27 season, the Lorne Street Stand and Family Stand (two blocks within the Hamil Road End) will operate on an allocated seating basis for all competitions, meaning you must sit in the seat shown on your ticket in these areas.
This will act as a trial as we continue to assess the potential for allocated seating to be introduced more widely across Vale Park in future years as the club continues to grow.
We know many supporters choose specific seats so they can sit alongside family and friends and enjoy the matchday experience they want. Allocated seating helps us protect that experience while also giving the club greater flexibility to accommodate larger crowds for high-demand fixtures.
For our Carabao Cup tie against Arsenal in 2025/26, more than 16,000 supporters were in attendance at Vale Park. Allocated seating gives us additional opportunities to maximise ticket availability for occasions such as these.
As was the case last season, the club also reserves the right to close individual blocks across the stadium for fixtures with lower expected attendances.
Priority points
As previously confirmed, the club's priority points system will continue to operate on a rolling two-year basis.
As a result, points earned during the 2024/25 season will be removed from supporter accounts before the start of the new campaign. Season ticket holders for 2026/27 will receive 150 priority points, which will be added to their accounts ahead of the season getting underway.
Safe standing
The club remains keen to explore safe standing as a future development at Vale Park, subject to the significant costs involved in delivering such a project. We are extremely grateful to supporters who have already backed the supporter-led fundraising campaign, which has raised thousands of pounds towards making safe standing a reality in the future.
Supporters should also be aware that clubs are being required by safety authorities to increase messaging and controls around persistent standing in all-seater stadiums like Vale Park. As a result, you can expect to see more notices and reminders around this issue at grounds across the country going forward, including within hospitality areas.
Under-2s policy
Supporters of all ages are welcome at Vale Park, but anyone wishing to bring a child under the age of 2 should ensure they are familiar with our Under-2s Policy.
For 2026/27 fixtures, details of the policy will be available to view online during the ticket purchasing process. For supporters purchasing tickets in person, our Ticket Office team will be happy to provide further information and guidance.
