1.2 Home Match Tickets are for the use of supporters of the Club only. By applying for the Home Match Ticket and/or using the same you hereby warrant and represent that you are a supporter of the Club.

1.3 Home Match Tickets are non refundable.

2. Admission to the Ground

2.1 Use of the Home Match Ticket constitutes acceptance of the Terms & Conditions of Entry.

2.2 A Home Match Ticket permits you to occupy at the Match the seat indicated on the Home Match Ticket or such other alternative seat of equivalent value as the Club may allocate to you at its reasonable discretion.

2.3 Nothing in these Conditions of Issue shall constitute or imply any entitlement to occupy the seat indicated on the Home Match Ticket in any subsequent Match or season.

2.4 Save as set out in clause 2.5 below, you shall not bring into (or use within) the Ground any equipment that is capable of recording or transmitting (by digital or other means) any audio, visual or audio-visual material or any information or data in relation to the Match or any aspect of it. Any person acting in breach of this provision may have such equipment confiscated and/or will be required to deliver up any tapes, films, disks or other recordings or data to the PL and/or the Club and the copyright in any such recording or transmission is herby assigned (by way of present assignment of future copyright pursuant to section 91 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988) to the PL.

2.5 Mobile telephones are permitted within the Ground, provided that they are used for personal and private use only.

2.6 Save for official Club merchandise and/or other football related clothing worn in good faith, you shall not bring into, use or display within the Ground any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials.

2.7 You shall not offer or distribute (either free or for sale by any person) within the Ground any consumer article or commercial product of any nature. For the avoidance of doubt this clause shall not prevent the lawful distribution of text publications in any format which do not infringe clause 2.6 above where both the content and the publication are lawful in all respects and do not in the Club's reasonable opinion constitute a threat to public order.

2.8 The Club reserves the right to refuse admission to, or eject from, the Ground any person who fails to comply with the Terms & Conditions of Entry.

2.9 Without prejudice to the representation at clause 1.2, above, and in light of the Home Match Ticket holders being grouped together in designated areas, any attempt to gain access to the Ground wearing or carrying apparel (including, without limitation, hats and/or scarves) that demonstrate support for the Visiting Club, may result in admission being refused or you being ejected from the Ground and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat will be offered.

2.10 Any child under the age of 18 will only be permitted entry to the Family Zone within the Ground if they are accompanied by an adult. Tickets for seats in the Family Stand may only be purchased where at least one Guest is under the age of 18, with a maximum of three Tickets for adults aged 18 and over being purchased per under-18 Ticket.

2.11 A child aged under 14 may not enter the Ground unless accompanied and supervised by an adult aged 18 or over and therefore a child under 14 cannot purchase a ticket independently. Tickets for under 14’s must be purchased by an adult over 18. Adults purchasing tickets for supporters under 14 will be allocated seats together so that the adult can adequately supervise the child whilst in the ground. The child must be in possession of a valid Ticket for the Match they are attending.

2.12. Supporters aged 14 years and over may buy a Ticket without the need for an accompanying adult. Only one ticket for a child aged 14 years and over may be purchased in a single transaction under this condition, unless at least one adult Ticket for a person aged 18 or over is also purchased in that transaction.

2.13 Supporters over 14-years and under 18-years of age are allowed entry to the stadium unaccompanied, however, they are not allowed to be responsible for another supporter. Only supporters aged 18-years or over can be responsible for a child under the age of 18-years.

2.14. During the warm up and during the game there is a risk of spectators being hit by a ball from the pitch. In the case of a young child significant injury could therefore be sustained. PAFC reserves the right to prohibit supporters with "babes in arms" access to selected seating within the ground, considered greater risk of harm areas. Supporters with infants deemed "babes in arms" found seated in prohibited areas will be requested to move to an alternative area by PAFC staff. Failure to comply may result in you being ejected from the Ground and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat(s) will be offered.

2.15 Within the Ground the Club may request sight of your ticket. Upon demand, you may also be requested to produce identification to prove your entitlement to your ticket. Should you be in receipt of a concession ticket and be unable to prove your entitlement to such, then the Club may revoke your ticket and eject you from the Ground, without any liability to you whatsoever.

3. Use of Home Match Ticket

3.1 Subject to clause 3.3, below, the Home Match Ticket is issued for your sole use regardless of who makes payment for the Home Match Ticket and you shall not resell, dispose of, assign, transfer, lend or otherwise deal with the Home Match Ticket or the benefit of it to any other person without the prior consent of the Club in accordance with clause 3.3 below or via the Ticket Exchange or via any official Club transfer scheme that the Club may implement from time to time.

The reference to selling the Home Match Ticket includes: (a) offering to sell a Home Match Ticket (including, without limitation, via any website or online auction site); (b) exposing a Home Match Ticket for sale; (c) making a Home Match Ticket available for sale by another person; (d) advertising that a Home Match Ticket is available for purchase, which for the avoidance of doubt (and by way of example only) means that this Home Match Ticket may not be offered as a prize in any promotion or competition; (e) transferring, lending or selling a Home Match Ticket to any third party as part of a hospitality or travel package; and (f) giving (or offering to give) a Home Match Ticket to a person who pays or agrees to pay for some other goods or services (or offers to do so); all save as expressly authorised by the EFL or the Club.

3.2 The unauthorised sale or disposal of a Home Match Ticket may amount to a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. The Club will inform the police when it becomes aware that a Home Match Ticket has been sold illegally and will press for charges to be brought against those breaking this law. If you are convicted of a ticket touting offence, or we reasonably suspect you have committed such an offence, we will notify the EFL who may in turn notify other EFL clubs and/or the relevant law enforcement authorities. The information that we share may include your personal details, information about the offence and about ticket purchases (including payment details). We will use this to identify and prevent ticket touting offences and disorder at matches.

3.3 If more than one Home Match Ticket is issued to you, one Home Match Ticket must be retained by you, for personal use (subject to the provisions below) and the remainder may be transferred to your Guest(s) for his/her/their personal use only PROVIDED THAT such transfer takes place in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of the Home Match Ticket, and such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party's business. Such transfer to any Guest will be subject to the Terms & Conditions of Entry which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause or any rights to a refund under clause 4.3 below) apply to each Guest as if he/she was the original purchaser of the Home Match Ticket (and you must inform the Guest(s) of this). You will provide the name and address of your Guest(s) when asked to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club and/or any police officer. In the event that you and/or your Guest(s) are unable to use any Home Match Ticket then you may transfer that Home Match Ticket(s) to a natural person who is known to you personally and who would be entitled (under the Terms & Conditions of Entry and otherwise) to purchase such Home Match Ticket and attend such Match PROVIDED THAT such transfer takes place in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of the Home Match Ticket, and such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party's business. Such transfer will be subject to the Terms & Conditions of Entry which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause or any rights to a refund under clause 4.3 below) apply to the transferee as if he were the original purchaser of the Home Match Ticket (and you must inform the transferee of this). You will provide the name and address of the transferee when asked to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club and/or any police officer.

3.4 The Home Match Ticket will remain the property of the Club at all times and must be produced together with evidence of your identity if required to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club or any police officer. The Club reserves the right to require the immediate return of the Home Match Ticket at any time.

3.5 Any Home Match Ticket obtained or used in breach of the Terms & Conditions of Entry shall be automatically void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Home Match Ticket shall be nullified. Misuse of a Home Match Ticket may result in the holder being refused entry to, or ejected from, the Ground in respect of a particular Match and/or the cancellation and withdrawal of a Home Match Ticket. In the event of any cancellation and withdrawal in accordance with this clause 3.5, no refund shall be payable. The Club further reserves its right to take any legal or disciplinary action against any person(s) as it sees fit in connection with such matters, including a claim for an account of any profits made from an unauthorised use of a Home Match Ticket.

4. Changes to Dates, Refunds & Exchanges

4.1 No guarantees can be given by the Club that the Match will take place at a particular time or on a particular date. Subject to clause 4.2, below, the Club reserves the right to reschedule any Match without notice and without any liability whatsoever.

4.2 In the event of the postponement or abandonment of the Match (or if the Match has, for any reason to be played out of view of the public), you will be entitled to receive a full refund (including any booking fee) or receive the equivalent ticket for the subsequent re-arranged Match via such application procedure as the Club stipulates. The Club is entitled to set a period of time from the postponement or abandonment and as such a refund or similar offer of credit, will expire after such date. For clairity, you cannot claim a refund once the window for refunds has passed. The Club will endeavour to contact all supporters to make them aware of the situation, although the onus is on the supporter to contact The Club. The Club will have no further liability whatsoever, including (but not limited to) any indirect or consequential loss or damage, loss of enjoyment or travel/accommodation costs.

4.3 In order to obtain a refund, the Home Match Ticket must be returned to the Club's ticket office no later than 7 days prior to the commencement of the rearranged Match.
