Glentoran Football Club can confirm ticketing arrangements for our Clearer Water Irish Cup Fifth Round tie away to Strabane Athletic, to be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at Melvin Park Arena, Strabane (kick-off: 1.30pm).

Due to restrictions placed on this fixture, the Club has been allocated a strictly limited allocation of 200 tickets.

Despite extensive engagement by Strabane Athletic with the relevant council, and ongoing liaison between the two clubs, an application and licence request for additional capacity has been declined. As a result, demand for this fixture is expected to significantly exceed availability.

Season Ticket Holder Ballot

In recognition of supporter loyalty, tickets will be distributed via a ballot exclusively for Season Ticket holders.

• A ballot involving all Season Ticket holders will be conducted on Wednesday 31 December 2025
• Supporters who are successful in the ballot will receive a confirmation email from the Glentoran Superstore by 5.00pm on Wednesday 31 December, outlining full ticket collection details, including the date, time and location. Supporters are advised to check spam and junk folders.
• In addition, a reserve list of 50 Season Ticket holders will also be drawn
• Should any successful applicant decline the opportunity to purchase a ticket within the allocated timeframe, tickets will be re-offered to supporters on the reserve list in ballot order

Ticket Prices

• Adult: £10
• Concession: £6

Important Allocation Notes

Supporters are asked to carefully note the following information

• Due to the extremely limited allocation, Family Season Ticket holders will be entitled to one (1) ticket only for this fixture
• A small number of concession tickets are available and will be allocated in order of the ballot draw
• All tickets are physical tickets and must be collected in advance – further details will be provided to successful applicants
• General sale is highly unlikely; however, the Club will communicate promptly should the situation change

Supporter Update

The Club fully understands the frustration that limited ticket allocations can cause, particularly for an Irish Cup fixture of this nature. We would like to sincerely thank supporters for their patience and understanding and assure fans that the Club explored all possible avenues to secure additional tickets.
