The game will be free for everyone to attend

MK Dons will give away thousands of tickets for free to next month’s home game with Harrogate Town.

Dubbed community day, anyone living in Milton Keynes, or who has bought a ticket with the club before, will be able to get a free ticket for the game on Saturday March 7.

Fans travelling from Yorkshire too to sit in the away end will also get their tickets for free.

The club will be approaching local businesses to offer free tickets to employees, and schools will also be given 100s of tickets to dish out to students and their families to encourage them to Stadium MK for the game.

Back in 2016, when celebrating Milton Keynes’ 50th anniversary, the club offered a similar deal for the home game against Bolton Wanderers. Sporting a one-off gold kit to mark the occasions, the League One game attracted 21,545 fans.

Dons chairman Fahad Al Ghanim said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be offering complimentary tickets to the people of Milton Keynes for Community Day 2026.

“This is a significant gift from us to you, but one we feel shows our intent to open up MK Dons and our fantastic stadium to as many people in the city as possible.

“Since purchasing MK Dons at the beginning of last season, providing the community of Milton Keynes with the best possible version of the football club has been at the forefront of our thinking.

“We want the people of Milton Keynes to think of MK Dons as their club, and I can’t think of a better way to do that than opening up our doors to everyone in the city.

“I’d like to thank everyone at the club for all their hard work in bringing this initiative to fruition, and we look forward to seeing you all on Saturday March 7.”

CEO Neil Hart added: “This is a remarkable statement from our ownership group, and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s an unbelievable gesture to the people of Milton Keynes.

“We’re not afraid to do something a little bit different, and it’s our belief that the people of MK will really respond to it. We will now begin the process to engage proactively with community groups, businesses and stakeholders across the city to maximise this opportunity.”
