In January 2021, and for our game against Tottenham Hotspur, we launched a virtual ticket scheme and sold 32,202 tickets.
The relationship with our virtual supporters has continued since and we have many fans who can not attend matches. Some local people, some from all corners of the world.
We are therefore today launching a Virtual Season Ticket to help our supporters who can not attend many matches integrate further within our football club and to continue on this journey together.
The Virtual Season Ticket contains 3 packages:
Bronze – £80
- Match programme sent via email for every home game
- Match highlights sent via email for every home match
- Virtual Season Ticket holders listed in matchday programme
- Monthly Marine FC update from CEO or Marine FC manager Neil Young
Silver – £120
All items in the Bronze package PLUS:
- Physical Virtual Season Ticket card delivered globally (Note: This will be a different colour to a standard season ticket and will not allow entry to the stadium on matchday)
- Marine FC scarf signed by a player delivered
Gold – £180
All items in the Bronze and Silver package PLUS:
- Delivered Marine FC home shirt signed by all of squad and management team
- Personalized Happy Birthday video sent by Marine player
The virtual tickets can be purchased through the below link:

As we head into our toughest season yet as a level 6 club, the support of our Virtual Season Ticket supporters will be huge in helping us continue on our journey.
Marine CEO James Leary said: “This is a new initiative that we hope will provide substantial funds to help us be as competitive as possible as we move into a tough league playing against the likes of Scunthorpe United and Chester.
The initial feedback from some of the people who purchased a Virtual Ticket in 2021 has helped drive us to this idea. Many of our Ticket buyers where asking how they can continue to support the club. This will really integrate further our distant supporters into the club.”
