FAMILY STAND POLICY

We are always looking to welcome the next generation of Bluebirds to Cardiff City Stadium, and, as such, will

that the Stand has a suitable mix of adults, concessions and children.
Our Club policy in the Family Stand is as follows:
a. There must be at least one Junior U16 and one Adult (18yrs or over) within a group purchase, in addition to a
maximum of two Adults to one Junior U16 ratio.
b. There are no Junior U16s permitted without an accompanying Adult (18yrs or over), and no Adults (18yrs or
over) permitted without an accompanying Junior U16. Please be advised, you may be asked to provide
documentation for proof of age at both point of sale and/or at the turnstile.
If the ratio of adults to Junior U16 no longer meets the Club policy upon Season Ticket renewal, the booking will
not be valid for renewal in the Family Stand. In this instance, the group will be asked to relocate to another area
of the stadium. Alternative options will be provided by the Ticket Office team. Please be advised that an upgrade
fee will be applied in this instance, based on the chosen area of relocation.

a seasonal basis for the fee of £10 plus any additional upgrade charges (written authorisation is required from
the current Season Ticket holder, or Next of Kin for this to be actioned).

No refunds will be provided in the event of a downgraded Season Ticket transfer.

SEASON TICKET CONCESSION UPGRADES
Season Ticket upgrades will be calculated based on the prices set at the time of the original Season Ticket
purchase, and will not be calculated based on any events that may have passed (e.g., a Junior U16 Season Ticket
purchased during the Early Bird price window that has been utilised for game entry, can be upgraded to an adult
Season Ticket but will be charged at the original Early Bird Adult rate, not taking into consideration any games
that may have passed). Once purchased, Season Tickets can be upgraded to a higher priced area, subject to
relevant upgrade fees being paid. Season Ticket upgrades will also incur an administration fee of £5. This includes
a new Season Ticket Access Card if requested.

COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
The Club’s decision in relation to the management of COVID-19 restrictions, including management of social
distancing measures and/or reduced spectator capacity at Cardiff City Stadium, shall be final. Refunds will not be
provided should a Season Ticket holder miss a fixture due to illness or a positive/inconclusive COVID-19 test.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS / REDUCED CAPACITY FIXTURES
If any home fixture included as part of your Season Ticket is played behind closed doors, or with a reduced capacity
(that affects your purchase) during the 2023/24 season, it is our intention to offer all Season Ticket holders the
chance to enter the selection process for a chance to secure a ticket for a reduced capacity home league match.
The Club will announce individual on-sale dates for these events at the appropriate time. Supporters will need to
apply for each reduced capacity home league fixture via our official ticketing website: tickets.cardiffcityfc.co.uk
The order of the sale will be determined after consideration of government guidelines at the time and
subsequently published on our official website.
In the event of fixtures being played with reduced capacity restrictions, we cannot guarantee that your
renewed/purchased Season Ticket seat will be available. In such cases we will issue you ticket for an alternative
seat, subject to availability and selection procedure in place.
Those who are unsuccessful in their application for a ticket for a reduced capacity fixture, will be awarded an
online ticketing voucher to the value of their Season Ticket price per game which can be used towards the renewal
of a 2024/25 Season Ticket or towards home league tickets during the 2024/25 season.
The Club will aim to provide the opportunity for current 2023/24 Season Ticket holders to purchase a streaming
pass for such events, subject to streaming passes being offered by the EFL and governing bodies. Streaming pass
prices are set by the EFL, and if made available, must be purchased individually.
The Club commits to reviewing its policy at regular intervals, in accordance with Welsh Government or relevant
governing body policy.
ABANDONED / POSTPONED MATCHES
In the case of an abandoned or postponed fixture, Season Ticket holders are entitled to use their original ticket to
access the re-arranged game. The club does not provide refunds for any postponed or rearranged matches for
Season Ticket holders.
If a match is abandoned after spectators are admitted to the ground but before kick-off, ticket holders will be
entitled to free admission to the rearranged match.
If a match is abandoned after kick-off, the Club reserves the right to charge the full ticket price for the rearranged
match; however, every effort will be made to avoid this.
MATCH CANCELLATIONS
If a match is cancelled and is not to be rearranged, Season Ticket holders will be entitled to a pro-rata refund to
the value of their Season Ticket for that event. Season Ticket holders will have the opportunity to select their
preferred method of refund, to include a cash or card refund, a ticketing voucher to be held on the Season Ticket
holder’s ticketing account, or a donation to the Cardiff City FC Academy.
