Tickets Selling Fast as Car Parking Sells Out for Cup Clash

Tuesday, 3 November 2026 at 09:55

Tickets for Salisbury's First Round FA Cup clash with Sholing are selling fast as the club announces that car park tickets have sold out.

The club have advised that only those with a car parking ticket linked to their match ticket will be permitted entry, and they strongly advise supporters to arrive before 2 pm to avoid queues on what promises to be a very busy matchday.

Plenty of catering and bar facilities are available in and around the stadium, with extra facilities being put in place to cope with the bumper crowd.

Cup fever has set in across Salisbury, with tickets selling fast via the club's website, with one of the biggest ever crowds at the Ray Mac expected.

Supporters must buy tickets in advance before heading to the turnstiles, with the easiest way being via the club's online ticket platform. https://salisburyfc.ticketco.shop/

All home seating has already sold out, with standing room only remaining for Salisbury supporters; it promises to be a very busy afternoon at the Ray Mac and should give a fantastic atmosphere for the match.

The club said in a statement, "If you do not have a matchday car parking ticket, you will need to make other parking arrangements.

"Parking is available at the Beehive Park and Ride, which is free to park. It is a 10/15 minutes walk to the ground.

"Supporters are asked to be considerate to our neighbours when parking on any matchday, especially this Saturday, and avoid parking in front of driveways or anywhere that could be classed as inconvenient or inconsiderate for the local residents in Old Sarum."

To reach this stage, Salisbury have overcome Taunton Town (4-1), Dulwich Hamlet (5-0), and most recently, Eastbourne Borough (3-0) in the Fourth Qualifying Round.

Meanwhile, Sholing have played one more fixture than the Whites. They have beaten Andover New Street (2-0), Tiverton Town (1-0), Ebbsfleet United (2-1) and South East Dons (2-0).
