NEW ACCESS SYSTEM

DAFC continue to try and improve the match day experience at East End Park, and we have made significant investment during the Summer in a new turnstile entry system ahead of the new SPFL Championship season.

This Saturday (for the home match against Inverness Caley Thistle) will be the first match the new self-scan system will be in place. Upon arrival at the turnstiles you are required to scan your season ticket or paper ticket on the new digital screen readers. Our stewarding partners, G4s will be on hand to provide supporters with assistance if required. With any new system there is likely to be teething problems, so your patience and cooperation would be much appreciated.

We expect Saturday to be very busy for our opening home match of the season. Therefore, could we urge supporters to please arrive early to avoid frustration if there any larger than normal queues or any delays in gaining access to the Stadium.
