The office will open between 9.30am to 2.30pm and 6-9pm in the disused night club at the Holiday Park in Hindles Road for the final against Dr Martens Premier side Hednesford Town at Villa Park.

Gulls will be bidding for a historic double on Sunday, May 23, after capturing the Ryman Premier title over the Easter holiday.

Credit card bookings can also be made, but only during the times the ticket office is open, on 01268 511888.

Season ticket holders and supporters club members will get an earlier opportunity to book their seats at Villa Park when tickets go on sale for them at the football club's Park Lane clubhouse from 7.30pm tomorrow.
