All supporters are required to comply with NHS Track & Trace requirements and are asked to not travel to our venue if they do not wish to participate.
We ask all supporters to not travel to The Incora County Ground if they are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19.
All tickets state a Stand (Zone) and row/seat number. To comply with NHS Track and Trace requirements, you will need to remain in your allocated zone for the entirety of your time within the ground, using the toilet and catering facilities in that specific zone only.
Seats will be clearly labelled and please note the seat number overrides the ticks (✔) for this fixture.
Exiting & Re-entering the Venue: Supporters will be permitted to exit and re-enter the venue, but they must return to the same zone/seat as on their ticket.
Zone Facilities: Each zone is serviced by catering facilities (further details below), as well as toilets and hand sanitiser stations. The Club encourages all supporters to wash their hands frequently and use the hand sanitiser provided. The Play Area will be closed for this fixture.
Members Area: Due to the current restrictions on indoor capacities, the Incora Pavilion will be open for Executive Members only. We hope that restrictions will ease during the summer and we are able to revert to a more normal matchday structure.
From 17.05.2021.
The way we are required to operate on a matchday will be different from your last time with us and, as suggested, it will also likely change throughout the summer, dependant on the government guidelines at the time.
Our operation will be continually reviewed, and the most up-to-date processes will be made available on each Matchday Guide via this page.
The latest key Ground Regulations are:
– All spectators will have their temperature checked on arrival.
– Supporters will not be required to wear a face covering while seated outside. The latest government guidance states that supporters are not required to wear a mask while seated outside at our venue. Masks are still required to be worn whenever inside, such as in the Members facility, and when moving around outside – such as walking to the catering facilities.
– All spectators will be required to remain in their seat throughout the day’s play, except for when using toilets or making use of the catering facilities within their zone.
– Spectators are not permitted to bring their own chairs or picnic blankets on site.
– Spectators are not currently permitted to bring dogs into the venue
Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s Spectator Code of Conduct can be viewed HERE.
Reception in The Incora Pavilion will be open to service the following collections: Junior caps for Junior Members, lanyards and pin badges for Members, or reusable cups for Blast Pass holders.
These must be collected upon entry and before making your way to your spectator zone.
Please note that, to avoid queues, maintain indoor capacity restrictions and to allow for a smoother entry into the venue, Vitality Blast tickets for future matches cannot be claimed from reception during this fixture. Supporters who are having any issues linked to booking tickets online are encouraged to email [email protected] stating their name, required ticket & fixture and preferred stand.
This policy will be continually reviewed.
Club Shop: The Club is unable to open its traditional on-site Club Shop, however a limited offering will be available in front of the Pavilion for all supporters upon entry to the ground.
This will include replica shirts which are currently 20% off the RRP – just £31.99 for an Adult Vitality Blast Shirt, or £25.59 for Juniors. Not valid for the 10% Members discount, but Members can use their £20 150 Club voucher.
A limited amount of stock is available to purchase online HERE. Vouchers are not valid for online use.
Scorecards & Programmes: As part of the Club’s initiative to reduce paper waste, scorecards will not be on sale. A blank scorecard template can be downloaded for free, HERE.
As outlined above, supporters are not permitted to travel between zones during a matchday. This policy remains in place in the event of extreme weather.
The only covered seating zone is the East Midlands Demolition Stand.
Supporters are encouraged to check the latest weather forecast before planning their visit and prepare accordingly. While refreshments will be available within each zone, the Club advises supporters to bring plenty of bottled water.
All official updates on play, which are provided solely by the Match Officials, will be communicated via the Club’s Twitter account HERE. You do not need to sign-up for a Twitter account to see these updates.

Each Spectator Zone will be serviced by catering facilities, providing a selection of hot and cold snacks.
Unfortunately, due to current restrictions, the Club is unable to provide the usual range of catering outlets which are traditionally present at Vitality Blast matches.
Incora Executive Members are able to pre-order hot food, to be eaten on the top floor of the Incora Pavilion, via our new Tell The Chef system. Executive Members have been sent an email with details of how to do this. For any issues linked to pre-ordering, please email [email protected].

From the start of the 2021 season, Derbyshire will operate a cashless policy across all Club-managed points of sale on site – from ticket gates, to catering.
There are two reasons for this, the first being a proven increase in the speed of service when accepting card payments only and the second being hygiene as part of our commitment to keeping spectators and staff safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
All of our catering and bar tills will accept all major debit/credit cards, as well as contactless payment options, including Apple and Android Pay.
Cash vouchers will be available for a limited transitional period.
The Incora County Ground is located next to the Pentagon Roundabout just off the A52.
