Swindon Town supporters heading to Stadium MK for the FA Cup first round are advised that all match tickets for the fixture are digital-only.
Swindon Town supporters preparing for the club's FA Cup first round trip to Milton Keynes Dons are being reminded that the fixture will require digital-only tickets for entry to Stadium MK. The match, scheduled for Saturday, 7 November, kicks off at 3 pm.
The club has been allocated 2,160 tickets in the North Lower Stand for the encounter. With a significant travelling support expected, fans are encouraged to secure their digital tickets in advance through the official club channels.
Pricing for the match has been confirmed as follows:
Adults: £15
Seniors (over 65) and 18-23 age group: £10
Under-18s and under-12s: £5
Please note that a maximum of three under-14s can attend the fixture per paying adult. For supporters with accessibility requirements, the club has confirmed that 18 pairs of wheelchair-accessible spaces are available, with personal assistants seated alongside. Ambulant disabled supporters will be charged the standard age-appropriate rate, though those in receipt of mid or higher-rate DLA or PIP are entitled to a free personal assistant ticket.
This fixture marks the first time the two clubs have met in the FA Cup. While they are frequent opponents in league competition, Swindon will be looking to overcome a difficult recent record against the Dons. Since 2009, the Robins have secured only three victories in 23 meetings, although two of those wins did occur at Stadium MK.
Under the guidance of Ian Holloway, Swindon are aiming to reach the second round of the competition for the third consecutive season, a milestone the club has not achieved since the 2009-2011 period. The side will hope to draw confidence from their recent strong form against League One opposition, having won their last five matches against third-tier sides.
