Burnley Frequently Asked Questions
Burnley Football Club introduced the new 'TeamCard' access control system in the summer of 2014. The TeamCard system incorporates both access control to Turf Moor and a loyalty system via your new SeasonCard, which will be a massive benefit to all fans of Burnley Football Club.
SeasonCard holders will very soon be receiving their 2015/2016 SeasonCards through the post (please note: if you have 'renewed' for the 2015/2016 season your season ticket data will be automatically uploaded onto your current card). Please ensure you keep this safe as this is now your season ticket to attend 2015/2016 League games here at Turf Moor, and will also be used in the future if you purchase cup matches or renew your season ticket for the 2016/2017 season.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME? – 2015/16 SEASONCARD HOLDER
If you were a 2014/2015 SeasonCard holder and you have renewed for the 2015/2016 season you don't need to do anything! Your new 2015/2016 season card access will be automatically loaded onto your card...simply turn up to Turf Moor on the first day of the season and gain entry. If you are a 'new' SeasonCard holder for the 2015/2016 season you will receive your SeasonCard in the post over the summer before the season starts.
Your full season ticket data will be on your SeasonCard and allow you access to Turf Moor for all 2015/2016 SkyBet Championship league home matches. Any Capital One Cup or FA Cup matches which you purchase during the season will also be uploaded onto your SeasonCard if you keep the same seat, and allow you access to Turf Moor for these additional matches you purchase.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME? – NON SEASONCARD HOLDER.
COMING SOON: This will not be available from launch. We will announce on www.burnleyfc.com when this is available.
DO I STILL PURCHASE TICKETS IN THE SAME WAY I DID LAST SEASON?
Yes, the only difference is that your purchased match will be uploaded onto your SeasonCard instead of receiving a paper ticket. SeasonCard Holders will simply use their SeasonCard (which will have your seat details printed on it). However, individual matchday purchasers will also receive a receipt which will have details of their seat for that match. You can purchase match tickets from the Turf Moor Ticket Office, from the Clarets Store, online at www.claretsstore.com or by calling 0871 221 1914
Additionally there is a ‘print from home’ option for those fans purchasing tickets from www.claretsstore.com. Simply purchase your ticket, print it off at home and bring it with you on matchday to gain entry to the stadium.
WHAT HAPPENS TO MY CLARETS NUMBER AND THE LOYALTY POINTS I HAVE BUILT UP OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS?
The TeamCard system will still use your current Clarets Number, which will be printed on the back of SeasonCard. For the 2015/2016 season loyalty points built up over the past seasons will continue to be used, if required for high profile matches.
Information on loyalty points will be announced if they are required through the season
HOW DOES TEAMCARD POINTS WORK? COLLECTING POINTS
Once you receive your SeasonCard you are good to go and can gain access to your purchased matches and begin building up Teamcard points when you purchase retail items at the Clarets Store. Each time you make a purchase at the Clarets Store @ Turf Moor, Clarets Store @Charter Walk Burnley, or online atwww.claretsstore.com (on retail items) you will collect points.
TeamCard points will only be collected when you purchase retail items from Burnley Football Club, unless otherwise stated (Eg: TeamCard points will not collected when purchasing season tickets or matchday tickets at the current time).
For every £1 you spend on retail items you will receive 10 TeamCard points. Burnley FC will have select ‘TeamCard matchdays’ and events throughout the season when additional TeamCard points can be collected. These will be advertised on www.burnleyfc.com.
HOW DOES TEAMCARD POINTS WORK? SPENDING POINTS
Once you have collected TeamCard points you can choose to spend these to discount your next purchase at Turf Moor
Every point you collect equates to 1p to spend back here at Burnley Football Club against merchandise, or a season ticket etc.
TeamCard points can be spent at the Turf Moor Ticket Office towards the cost of your season ticket renewal, at either of the Clarets Stores against retail items, or online at www.claretsstore.com For example: If you had 1000 points (£10) you could spend these to reduce the cost of your next season ticket.

Anyone found to be attempting to enter Turf Moor under the incorrect price band on a matchday will be asked to report to the Turf Moor Ticket Office, pay the full cost for the correct price band season or matchday ticket plus an additional admin charge of £50. Until this process is complete you will not be granted access to Turf Moor.
