I don't live in Bradford but I'd still love to join!

Bradford is one of the UK’s youngest and most vibrant cities, and this scheme has been created with young people at its heart. While it’s designed for local residents, we’re excited to welcome young people from outside the area who meet the age requirement and can provide proof of age. Our aim is to create a space where all eligible young people feel included, supported, and celebrated.

If you have a connection to Bradford but now live outside the district, you’re just as much a part of this and we’d love for you to join our Youth Pass scheme. You can join on our website here or by contacting our friendly Ticketing team by email [email protected] or by phone on 01274 053100. We can’t wait to welcome you!
