Tickets and further information (applies to both fixtures)
How do I get tickets?
Surrey CCC has limited the total number of persons attending this match to 2,000 for health & safety reasons. As a result of this limited capacity, it is highly likely the match will sell out.
Surrey CCC sell all ground admission tickets. Ticket sales in advance are recommended as tickets on the day are likely to be limited.
Check the Surrey CCC website: https://www.eticketing.co.uk/surreytickets/
Surrey CCC Members wishing to attend must obtain in advance an admission ticket (for which there is no charge). These tickets may be ordered online:
https://tickets.surreycricket.com/content.
Members have until 8th July to secure their tickets. If there is availability after this date, Members will be able to use their Guest Vouchers to bring friends and family. The issue of these tickets means that Surrey CCC can control the number of spectators. If a Member (and Guest if applicable) arrive at the ground on match day without admission tickets, they will not be given entry. Entry is not permitted
with just a Surrey CCC Membership card.
Bag search at the entry gate
Stewards may conduct a search at the entrance gates of all bags carried by spectators.
Alcohol
A maximum of four 500ml cans of beer/lager or a 750ml plastic bottle of wine per person may be brought into the Ground. No further alcohol will be permitted on any subsequent re-admission.
Where may I sit?
All seating is unreserved, except for the Corporate Marquees and the SI Capital Stand (which is reserved for Surrey CCC Members). It’s best to arrive early to choose where you wish to sit. You may bring your own chairs if you so wish, though it is not necessary to do so.
May I park my car in the ground?
No. The Pavilion car park is closed. Cars are parked on the grass at the Railway End of the ground, but spaces are allocated only to players, match officials and guests of hirers the corporate hospitality tents. We will make every effort to allow parking at the Railway End by cars with a Blue Badge.
If you do not have a car park pass or a Blue Badge, you will not be able to park inside the ground.
Public car parking
Members of the public may use the Student Car at Guildford College which is available on a first-come-first-served basis on the day of the match. Guildford College is at Stoke Road GU1 1EZ (less than 10 minutes’ walk from The Sports Ground).

May I buy food and drink at the Festival?
