Admission prices for Clapton CFC Women’s and Men’s First Team games

Clapton CFC have once again frozen admission prices for Women’s and Men’s First Team home games.

This means our admission prices for competitive (league and cup) matches at the Old Spotted Dog Ground remain: 

Standard: £5
Concessions: Pay what you can
Under 13s: Free 

£5 is the minimum amount we are allowed to charge by the Essex Senior Football League, which the Men’s First Team will be playing in. 

The exception is for Men’s FA Cup games: the FA has set the minimum price as £6 for standard admission in this tournament.

There is no minimum admission price in the division that our Women’s First Team play. However, we have set the price as the same to maintain equity between both sides.

Concessions 

  • Clapton CFC members 
  • Newham residents 
  • Teenagers (13 to 19)
  • Over 60s
  • Students and apprentices
  • Trade union members
  • Unemployed people and those on low income
  • People with disabilities and health conditions 
  • Refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants 

No ID is required to qualify for concessions, we will take your word for it. At the turnstile, just say that you are a concession (you don’t need to say which) and pay what you can for entry.

No one should be priced out of going to a football game, particularly at non-league level. We believe the concessions policy keeps football affordable. 

If you can afford the £5 standard admission, however, please do pay it.

Non-competitive games (eg friendlies), and games involving our FTFA, Reserves or Development teams, are typically pay what you can admission for all attendees.

For most Clapton CFC Women’s First Team and Men’s First Team games, you do not need to book a ticket in advance, just turn up and pay admission on the gate by cash or card. However, sometimes we need to put tickets on sale in advance. For those games, members will usually be given the opportunity to book first. Not a member? Join or renew here.

We will continue to print programmes for all competitive Women’s and Men’s First Team home games, which are free to take, but donations are welcome to help cover printing costs.
