Club look at ticket initiative for key workers

AFC Bournemouth are keenly investigating an initiative to pledge match tickets to key workers during the 2020/21 season.

On Wednesday, fellow Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion pledged to donate a minimum of 1,000 tickets to NHS workers.

And the Cherries are looking at ways to follow in their footsteps, by potentially making a number of tickets available to key workers who are providing essential services during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

AFC Bournemouth chairman, Jeff Mostyn, said: “Brighton have made a fantastic gesture in their commitment of tickets and we are also exploring the opportunity to provide tickets for all key workers who are playing such a crucial role in such a challenging climate.

“This would be one way in which a football club can show its appreciation for those key workers across all industries.”
