All the key information that you need ahead of Sunday’s visit of Batley Bulldogs in Round 2 of the Betfred Championship season.
Ticketing
Tickets for the Vikings’ first home fixture of the season are now on sale from the Club Shop within Widnes Market, which is open Wednesday-Saturday, 9am-5pm.
The Stadium Shop, located at the DCBL Stadium, will also be open from 10am until kick-off on Sunday 9thFebruary for South Stand Tickets and for card payments for North Stand Tickets.
To avoid queuing, supporters are urged to purchase tickets online where possible, and either print at home or use their E-Ticket on their mobile phone to gain access. All online purchases will now see supporters emailed their E-Ticket, with entry gained by scanning the single-use QR code found within the email.
Away supporters can also purchase tickets online by using the code BATLEY2020 to ensure they are seated in the away section of the South Stand. Those unable to purchase online will be required to buy their ticket from the Stadium Shop.
Cash turnstiles will be in operation on the North Stand to reduce congestion at the new Stadium Shop, which will now serve as the club’s Matchday Ticket Office.

Supporters are reminded that parking is not available at the DCBL Stadium, with a free stewarded car park located at Caldwell Road, WA8 7JT.
For disabled parking, a limited number of spaces are available on a first-come first-served basis at the DCBL Stadium, while away supporters who require disabled parking are asked to call 0151 495 2250 and ask for Janet, or email janetp@widnesvikings.co.uk.
