Promotion Final Allocation

Oldham Athletic shares the deep frustration felt by our supporters following the announcement of the initial ticket allocation for the National League Promotion Final at Wembley Stadium.

Given the size and loyalty of our fanbase, and the significance of this occasion, we believe the current allocation falls short of expectations and does not reflect the demand from our supporters.

Since the allocation was confirmed, the club has been in daily contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, who has been engaging directly with London Mayor Sadiq Khan and various authorities in a bid to increase the available capacity.

We are also in regular discussions with local MP Jim McMahon, who has been lobbying on behalf of the club and the town to ensure our supporters are given full opportunity to be part of this momentous occasion.

Alongside this, the club has been working closely with the National League as part of a coordinated effort to push for greater capacity. We have also formally written to Transport for London and have been in regular dialogue with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to support the case for a larger allocation.

The club is pleased to confirm that we have now received agreement for an allocation of an additional 4,000 match-only tickets.

This means both clubs now have an open allocation of 21,500, in addition to those sold as part of a coach package. The additional tickets will be made available for sale once they have been processed by Wembley Stadium and our ticketing povider. 

The increase has been achieved through a strengthened rail plan on both the Bakerloo and Chiltern routes, along with additional parking capacity secured at Fryent Country Park in Brent.

The club would still encourage supporters to book travel via coach where possible, as the more coach spaces that can be sold will reduce any burden on the rail networks.

Tickets are currently available to Season Ticket holders and will go on general sale at 12pm tomorrow (Monday 26 May).

Online sales are available here.

We understand how important this match is to our supporters and the town, and we are doing everything possible, through the appropriate channels, to fight for a fairer allocation that allows as many Latics supporters as possible to be at Wembley.

Further updates will be shared as soon as we have them.
