As per play-off competition rules, Maidstone United, as the away club, have been allocated 515 tickets. Of those, we are allocating a batch for the players who got us there and to the supporters’ club to facilitate a combined coach and admission ticket package.

We are fully aware we could sell that amount several times over but them’s the breaks.

We are also aware that how they’re sold and to who will also be subject to much debate (we’ve wrestled with all the scenarios in the past 12 hours), and coming to a consensus is nigh on impossible.

Prioritise season ticket holders only, more than 50% of you won’t get a ticket. Base it on the average crowd this season, some 75% of supporters won’t get a ticket. Whatever way you cut the proverbial cake, there’s going to be some disappointment.

If we could serve all season ticket holders, plus a general sale – as happened in the FA Cup fourth and fifth rounds last season – that would be the ideal scenario but we’re dealing with a much smaller capacity.

There will be a priority sale for season ticket holders (one per season ticket holder) on Friday (2 May) from 6pm. Approx two thirds of the tickets will be available.

On Saturday from 11am, the second batch will be available on general sale (maximum of two person).

Admission prices are:
Adults: £18.00
Concessions: £13.00
Under 18s/Students: £6.00

To help manage expectations at both sales, we will monitor the queue and provide a cut-off point to avoid supporters queueing for nothing.

Any supporter requiring disabled access/parking, should contact Eastbourne Borough.

For those who cannot be there in person, the match will be shown on the big screen in the Spitfire Lounge. (Access on a first come, first served basis). It will also be available on the National League TV channel.
