Tickets

On domestic match-days for which their Membership allows access, Members can enter the ground by scanning their physical or digital Membership card at the point of entry.

As Members’ Areas on domestic match-days offer unreserved seating, Members can enter the ground at either the Hobbs Gate (Oval end) or the Alec Stewart Gate (Vauxhall end).

Members can bring guests using the guest vouchers allocated to them as part of their Membership. For more information as to how to assign your guest vouchers, please click here. Guest vouchers are not available for Vitality Blast or The Hundred matches.

Scanning Your Membership Card

For 2024, all Members entering Members’ Areas, including Micky Stewart Members’ Pavilion, Peter May Garden, Lock Balcony and Laker Balcony, will have to scan their Membership Card and again when exiting. This will be implemented across all of Surrey’s home domestic fixtures in order to ensure we have an accurate breakdown of attendance within the Members’ Areas. This information will enable us to ensure we are offering the very best service in the Members’ Areas, and they do not go beyond capacity.

Seat Information

Members’ seating is unreserved at the Kia Oval and Members are permitted to sit anywhere within Members’ Areas.

Members’ Areas include the Micky Stewart Members’ Pavilion, Peter May Garden, Laker Balcony, and Lock Balcony. All areas are subject to availability and you may be directed to other Members’ Areas should an area reach capacity.

If seats are covered with a purple accessibility bib, please do not move them as these seats have specifically been reserved for Members with accessible needs. Should you wish to sit in these seats, please speak to one of our Accessibility team, or come to the Pavilion Reception and speak to a member of staff.
