Ticket purchasing/collection/Refund Policy/Prospects of Play
Advance ticket purchasing for the game has now finished.
The weather forecast is good for the game and there will be some ticket availability on the gates. They will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Tickets will be sold on the three gates at the cost of £20 adults, £15 concessions and £5 for under 16s from 4pm.
If you have booked tickets and on-site parking within four days of a game, your tickets will be available to collect from the stewards on entrance into the main Curzon Road car park from 4pm. Please advise the stewards that you have pre-booked both match tickets and parking.
If you have pre-booked tickets only, these can be collected from the ticket booth outside the main entrance on Curzon Road.
If play is restricted to fewer than 10 overs because of adverse weather conditions and no result is obtained on the day for which your ticket is valid, then you may claim a cash refund (less an Admin Charge of £1 per ticket). Alternatively, you can exchange your match ticket for a ticket that will admit you to another NatWest T20 Blast group game or RLODC group game later in the 2016 season.
The full refund policy is available HERE

Car parking at the ground is now FULLY BOOKED and there is no availability for the game.
