TICKETS are now on sale for Latics’ next away game, at Colchester United on February 26 (kick-off 3pm), but only online and not in person or on the phone.

To cater for the pandemic Colchester have introduced a ticketing system that is specifically designed to deal with any restrictions that might be enforced from time to time. This system keeps all attendees informed of any matchday requirements or restrictions that might deny them access to a game.

Latics fans will be located in the North Stand and ‘permits’ for the game are available by going online to https://tickets.colchesterunited.net

There is no specific allocation for this fixture.

Permits can be purchased online right up until kick-off and turnstiles have scanners that will read a permit from a printout or from a smartphone. It is advised that all purchases are made well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.

The only exception is for ambulant disabled/wheelchair and carer (those that have DLA/PIP) whose permits must be purchased over the phone. The number for these purchases is 01206 755161 (Monday to Friday 10am-2pm, unless otherwise stated on their website).
