ONCE YOU’RE THERE
TICKETS
Please enter the stadium via the turnstile indicated on your ticket.
The Revive North, South, and East stands are for tickets with unreserved seating. The John Charles West stand will accommodate supporters with reserved seats. Turnstiles will open 60 minutes prior to first kick-off on both Saturday and Sunday.
RESERVED SEATING
Spectators must ensure that they sit in their allocated seat(s). Although there may be adjacent seats that appear to be empty, it is likely that ticket holder hasn’t yet arrived or is elsewhere in the stadium.
UNRESERVED SEATING
It is important to note that if an unreserved seat is vacated, it may not be possible to return to the same seat at a later time.
Certain seats or blocks within unreserved areas of the stadium bowl may be marked as RESERVED (e.g. close to wheelchair platforms and dug outs) and as such are not available to holders of unreserved seat tickets.
Spectators should ensure that they do not sit in any seat marked reserved if they have purchased a ticket for an unreserved area.
IDENTIFICATION FOR CONCESSIONS
If a concessionary ticket has been purchased, identification may be requested on entry. Holders of such tickets should ensure that they have appropriate ID with them.
PASS OUT SYSTEM
A pass out/return system will be operated on both event days allowing spectators to move freely to and from the stadium bowl – there is no limit on the number of times someone is allowed to pass out and re-enter.
Spectators leaving the stadium bowl with the intention of returning may do so but MUST first ensure that they have a hand stamp applied upon initial exit; if there is no evidence of a hand stamp re-entry will not be permitted. Hand stamps will be applied by stadium stewards.
Dedicated exit and re-entry gates in each stand will be used to facilitate this operation.
Different coloured hand stamps will be used for each level each day. It is important that match tickets are not discarded; tickets need to be produced for re-entry if using the pass out system. Re-entry to the stadium bowl will be on production of both a hand stamp and relevant match ticket.
FAN ZONE
The Fan Zone is located directly outside of the stadium, offering food, beverage, and activities delivered by official partners Loch Lomond Group, Northern, and ABK and others throughout the weekend.
Alex Simmons will be hosting the fan zone, keeping the party going with live music and special guest interviews from the stage at the heart of the activity.
