There's a £500 guaranteed cash prize on offer for the Promotion Final in the half-time draw, sponsored by Systemise Housekeeping, in memory of John Staff.
With Iron fans massively getting behind our 50-50 draw this season, with over 40,000 tickets sold this campaign, half of the proceeds go into making the prizes at the Attis Arena, usually to a maximum of £500.
This total has been achieved on many occasions this season, seeing thousands of pounds handed out in prize funds.
Against Chester in our Community Day in March, we offered a guaranteed first prize of £500 cash on the day of the game, which is double the normal maximum first prize handed out.
With a sell-out crowd expected we are offering the same, with a £500 cash prize available to the lucky holder of the winning ticket.
To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is purchase tickets from our programme sellers, or the ticket office in the build-up to the game. Each ticket costs £1.
You can also purchase this online now by clicking here.
Scunthorpe United can now confirm the ticketing details and sale windows for the Iron's Promotion Final encounter against Chester on Sunday, May 18th (4pm kick-off).
The Attis Arena will host the showdown against the Seals, who beat Kidderminster Harriers 2-1 in the promotion semi-final last weekend, after overcoming Buxton in the play-off eliminator the midweek prior.
Ticket information has been confirmed ahead of the game, with the allocation going on sale via sufctickets.com at 2pm on Wednesday, May 7th.
The one-off match at the Attis Arena to gain promotion to the National League will see the Iron look to emulate March's Community Day, where they ran out 3-1 victors over their Promotion Final opposition.
It is important to note that we are hosting the Promotion Final on behalf of the National League and, although we are playing the game at home, it is defined as the league's fixture, and therefore there are no discounted, group booking or complimentary tickets available.
As per league rule, 7.1, clubs may not reduce their normal National League Admission charges in these matches, and these prices have been agreed by the National League, the Iron and Chester.
Please note, tickets will initially go on sale in-person to season ticket holders only, granting those supporters the opportunity to get their tickets in advance with lower queues. Please see below for more details.

Please note, loyalty points have also been allocated for our play-off semi-final against Boston United last season, and Chorley this season - and an additional point has been added for the replayed fixture against Buxton in the 2023-24 campaign.

As soon as ticketing details have been confirmed, we will provide further details.
The Vanarama National League's media release...
Scunthorpe United booked their place in the Promotion Final with a comfortable win over Chorley at the Attis Arena.
Two Danny Whitehall goals had the Iron on their way before Callum Roberts and Carlton Ubaezuonu added the gloss.
Chester went behind in their semi-final at Kidderminster Harriers as Declan Weeks came back to haunt his former club to score the winner – that after the Seals triumphed in extra time against Buxton in their eliminator.
The Vanarama National League North Promotion Final will be hosted at the Attis Arena and will get underway from 4pm on Sunday 18 May.
In the Vanarama National League South, Boreham Wood completed an astonishing comeback win against Dorking Wanderers in their eliminator.
The Wood were 3-1 down with seven minutes left and somehow won 4-3 thanks to Femi Ilesanmi’s late winner. They then went down to runners-up Torquay United and won courtesy of a Matt Rush strike to book their place.
Maidstone United did something no other side this season has done and won at Eastbourne Borough to get here. Aaron Blair hit a last-gasp winner there after they’d already been to Worthing and won in their eliminator.
The Vanarama National League South Promotion Final will be hosted at the Mangata Pay UK Stadium Meadow Park and will get underway from 12.30pm on Sunday 18 May.
Both games will be streamed live on National League TV on DAZN – to watch these games and all other Vanarama National League play-off matches head to DAZN.com/NLTV.
