Carlisle United Community Ticket Scheme
Thousands of youngsters are able to attend a Carlisle United game for free each season thanks to our partnership with the club’s Community Ticket Scheme.
This provides local primary schools and community groups with up to 200 free tickets for each home match during the football season.
We’ve supported the scheme for more than 18 years, distributing 30,000 free tickets over that time, more than enough to fill Brunton Park.
The youngsters, many of whom may not usually have the chance to attend, enjoy a tour of the ground, meet mascot Olga the Fox and some of the players, and watch the match from The Cumberland Community Stand.
Apply for tickets
