Pay-Per-View (PPV)

Earlier this summer we surveyed a cross section of the support and anticipate that demand for PPV will be high, generating a vital stream of revenue over the coming weeks as we seek to close the financial gap further.

Access to our PPV service, provided by our streaming partners Stream Digital, will be available for £12.99.

All AberDNA Premium and Standard members will be given access for the reduced price of £9.99 in recognition of their valued contribution to the Club. Members will be sent a unique code via e-mail to claim their discount. If you experience any issues or do not receive your code please e-mail ticketoffice@afc.co.uk

On match-day the live stream will be available an hour before kick-off and we would encourage all those utilising this service to log in early to ensure any issues which may arise are promptly rectified.

You must register for an account and complete your purchase in advance of the match. Sign-up’s will cut-off at 2.30pm on matchday.

You must be using a browser that has JavaScript enabled (most have this as a default).

No. Please ensure that you are not using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxies as this can cause the Live Broadcast stream not to function.

Q: Will this work outside the UK & Ireland?
No. Due to the contractual restrictions placed on the Club by the relevant rights holders, your virtual season ticket will be geo-blocked and only accessible within the UK & Ireland. If you live outside of the UK & Ireland the best way to watch the games is to subscribe to RedTV International.
