Tickets for Good, the Sheffield-based company transforming how people access events, has joined forces with Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest football club, to offer free tickets to Sheffield FC’s Boxing Day fixture against Belper Town.NHS staff, charity workers, teachers and people affected by the Cost of Living crisis can enjoy a great day out at Sheffield FC’s home ground, The Coach & Horses in Dronfield, with only a small booking fee to pay (£2.95). This partnership reflects the shared goal of both organisations to make cultural and sporting events more accessible, particularly during Christmas when family budgets are stretched.

Sheffield FC, founded in 1857, has an unmatched legacy as the birthplace of the modern game. The club’s history is deeply rooted in Sheffield, from their first matches played on East Bank to their formative years at Bramall Lane, and their eventual journey to their current home in Dronfield. Despite their nomadic past, the club has remained steadfast in its dedication to the community and the sport. Today, with plans underway to return to Sheffield at a new site, aptly named The Home of Football, Sheffield FC is looking forward to an exciting future.

Tickets for Good is proud to partner with a club whose heritage is as rich as Sheffield FC’s. Born in Sheffield and now operating nationally, in the USA and the Netherlands, Tickets for Good’s innovative model opens up opportunities for over 380,000 people to access events that might otherwise be out of reach. The platform offers free and discounted tickets, encouraging inclusive participation in the arts, sports, and entertainment.

Richard Tims, Chairman of Sheffield FC, said: “Boxing Day football is iconic in England and often a day when families and friends get together to celebrate Christmas, but most importantly watch a game of football.

“With the prices of football tickets rising in the English top leagues, we’re proud to have partnered with Tickets For Good and offer heavily discounted tickets to NHS staff, charity workers, teachers and people affected by the Cost of Living crisis.”

Steve Rimmer, CEO and founder of Tickets for Good, said: “This partnership with Sheffield FC is a perfect example of what Tickets for Good is all about – creating affordable, inclusive access to fantastic events for everyone. Boxing Day football is a tradition that brings people together, and Sheffield FC’s remarkable history makes this match extra special. We’re thrilled to be working with the world’s oldest football club to help more families enjoy a brilliant day out without breaking the bank.”

Tickets are available now through Tickets for Good’s platform, and with only a small booking fee to pay, this initiative ensures that Boxing Day football remains accessible for all. For more information or to secure tickets, visit Tickets for Good today.
