Tickets can be purchased on the day of the match up until kick off unless it is an 'All Ticket' match. Tickets can also be purchased for other matches, but only until one hour before kick off; this is so staff can concentrate on selling tickets for that day's match.
Over the telephone
The ticket office hot line number is 01935 847888, with the service enabling supporters to purchase their tickets over the telephone at a nominal fee of 45p per transaction. Tickets can then be picked up anytime up until kick off on the day of the match.
If supporters order at least one week in advance, the tickets can be posted out to them for a further 50p. Telephone sales have proved very popular, with an average 35% of ticket sales purchased in this way. It allows supporters to take advantage of the early bird discount, and also helps to keep the queues down on a match day, therefore making sure everyone is in the stadium before kick off

Extra Information
"Recommended pubs en route: The Red House on the outskirts of Yeovil has changed hands and gone more upmarket, focusing on food. It is wheelchair-friendly. The aforementioned Quicksilver Mail has been making real efforts in the last few years and now appears in good pub guides, particularly real ale ones. It is also one of the fewer and fewer outlets in the town that does proper farmhouse style cider. Food lunchtimes and evenings, and well behaved children and dogs are welcome. Not quite as wheelchair-friendly as the Red House. The Yeovil Court on West Coker Road is altogether more upmarket - recommended only for club directors, vice presidents and similar riff-raff. More of a restaurant than a pub really, but is very wheelchair-friendly should that be a concern.

Other Pubs/Food Outlets - There are three pubs within 15-20 minutes walking distance of the ground: A new Brewsters establishment, The Bell (a 'Hungry Horse' house) and The Arrow. Having now been in the Brewsters pub, situated just off the Crematorium roundabout on Bunford Lane, I hated it with a passion: standardised food and drink options that were frankly dismal. The Bell on Preston Road is child-friendly and is fairly popular with both home and away supporters, and features meals, a giant screen for televised matches, a pool table and some basic real ale. Quality has varied considerably over the years. It's been very good, and very poor. Currently it is leaning towards the "poor" side of things, with the real ale frequently off, the food slow and the place full of people going over the top about Premier League clubs they 'support' from 200 miles away in front of the Sky Sports screens. The Arrow, a modern pub situated on the Abbey Manor housing estate next to the ground has always been popular with home fans, personally I find it just a bit too soulless for my taste, though others swear by it. All above mentioned are wheelchair friendly and The Bell has a disabled toilet. If you're looking for something to eat but don't want to use a pub, Palmers Fish & Chip Restaurant/Takeaway can be found on the other side of Bunford Lane from the Brewsters pub, just off the Crematorium roundabout; and the Preston Road Takeaway is situated down from The Bell on the opposite side of Preston Road.
In terms of 'safe' pubs for away fans in Yeovil, they're pretty much all away fan friendly. There's the odd estate pub in the residential areas around town that might be a bit parochial, but certainly the ones in the town centre and around the ground itself shouldn't give you too many problems. Yeovil Town fans are on the whole welcoming and chatty, and the annual Home Office figures regarding football-related arrests consistently have the Glovers as one of the best behaved in the land.

BY RAIL:
Yeovil has two stations, Yeovil Junction (situated 2-3 miles outside of the town, naturally) and Pen Mill Junction (about a mile outside the town centre). Both are on the opposite side of town to the football club. From Yeovil Junction there is usually a 'Hopper' Bus that leaves a couple of minutes after every train arrives that will take you to Yeovil Bus Station in the Town Centre, cost around £1.50. This still leaves you a couple of miles from the Football Ground, but gives you the possibility of doing some shopping or catching a cab or a bus from the town centre. The other alternative is to take a taxi directly from the station(s) to the club. See the National Rail Site for times of trains.
BY BUS:
There was a dedicated Saturday shuttle bus between the bus station and the ground, but it was scrapped. The regular No.1 (Abbey Manor) bus leaves from the stop outside the Lloyds TSB Bank in the town centre every 15 minutes to travel to the Abbey Manor housing estate adjacent to the ground. You can also pick the bus up in Old Station Road if you're down by Cineworld or the Bowlplex.
Last bus back into town on a Saturday or a weekday evening leaves from Abbey Manor at 18.48 (The Forum) or 18.52pm (Westminster). Note this means that you're OK for getting to the ground for a midweek match, but after the game, you've got to make your own way back. You'll either need to like walking or you'll need a taxi to get you home.
Buses should be signed Abbey Manor Park for going up to the Football Ground, and Cavalier Way for those that are going from the ground back down into the town centre.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Huish Park has ample car-parking facilities for all but sell-out games. The charge is £2.00. However getting out can be a nightmare; as much to do with the hopeless traffic system around the town as the inefficient stewarding of the club car park, though that isn't blameless. Away fans are accommodated on the 1,500 capacity uncovered away terrace (clearly signposted at the stadium). A small number (approx 200-400) seats are usually made available for away supporters in the Cowlin (East) Stand. For smaller away followings you may find that everyone gets put into the Cowlin Stand and the terrace gets shut entirely.
Disabled and infirm away supporters should contact the Huish Park Ticket Office in cases where seating has not been specifically allocated through the visiting club, to see if special dispensation is possible. Segregation is in force for all matches.
Ticket prices: See here. Note that tickets bought on a match day carry a £2.00 surcharge. Tickets must be bought from the ticket office prior to admission to the ground itself - no sales on the turnstiles.
See our Access Guide for accommodation for disabled fans.
A fairly limited selection of hot food is available at the snack bars, and it has come in for some heavy criticism at times from home fans, both in terms of the quality of the food and its tendency to sell out of hot food long before the half time break. It has also recently got much more expensive. It's not brilliant, and if you queue up around half time, brace yourself for missing five minutes of one of the halves due to the queues.
The only alcohol on sale at the ground to the 'ordinary' supporter is a fenced off Marquee Bar (known officially as the Hospitality Marquee, but more locally as The Beer Tent), situated on the corner of the Main Stand and the Blackthorn Stand (home terrace). It was home fans only, but the policy has changed. For the majority of matches, away fans are allowed in the tent. The exceptions are not well defined, but typically would include local derbies, capacity games, or those involving teams that tend to sell out the away end, or carry a perceived 'reputation' (i.e. that your club's fans were a bit lairy in the 1970s). Most of the time you'll get let in, but if you fit into any of the above categories, don't be too surprised or offended if you get turned away.
Under-18s are allowed in the Beer Tent. The bar, like much of Huish Park, operates a no-smoking policy so you have to go outside to smoke - but then security will have a pop, saying you can't take your drink with you, even though you are still inside the fence. The selection of drinks available is very limited, and if it gets remotely busy the speed of service dire. After waiting twenty minutes, which I did once, one tends to give up. There are bars open in the upstairs areas of the Main Stand, but these require special membership, and have a strict dress code. Thus away supporters have rather a random chance of getting a beer at Huish Park.
All in all, when compared to elsewhere in the division, we sadly have to admit the matchday experience of visting fans to Huish Park is pretty poor, though there are worse."
