WILL MY PACKAGE CHANGE IF THE DATE OF THE EVENT IS MOVED?

Dates for matches will occasionally move, most often for television coverage, and your booking will be valid for the final date. If you want confirmation that the date has been confirmed for television do not hesitate to contact us, but do consider this when making travel or accomodation arrangements.

I HAVE A CONFIRMED BOOKING BUT WISH TO CANCEL IT, CAN I GET A REFUND?

HOW & WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY TICKETS?

Tickets are generally dispatched 7-10 days before an event for postal tickets and up to 3 days before the event for PDF email tickets. We will notify you once your tickets are ready to be dispatched and where tickets are posted, we send by secure delivery, so please be aware that these will need to be signed for upon receipt.

CAN I BRING MY CHILDREN?

Yes, children are welcome at all clubs however please note clubs require a ticket per person and do not generally offer concession prices unless these are advertised on the package detail page.

All ages are welcome, but there are things to keep in mind if bringing a baby or toddler. Please ensure the child is dressed appropriately for the cold weather/stadium and that you provide ear protection for the child. Prams are not allowed inside the stadium and therefore, we recommend a baby carrier as an alternative. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult 18 years old +.

CAN I ATTEND AS AN AWAY FAN?

Most clubs are welcoming of away fans subject to appropriate behaviour, however there are some clubs where any fans are not permitted to purchase packages, so if you are visiting an away ground, please check with us before placing your order.

Our packages are in the home stands and if attendees are seen to be supporting the away team, the customer may be asked to leave the stadium without compensation, and we will not be held responsible for this action. 

I HAVE DIETARY REQUIREMENTS, HOW DO I LET YOU KNOW?

Where food is included in the package, vegetarian options will be available. If there is a more severe dietary requirement, please advise us when booking so that we can make the club aware, as there may be a surcharge.

I MAY BE LATE TO THE EVENT, WILL I MISS THE HOSPITALITY?

Opening times for each category are listed on the ticket description and e-ticket. We suggest arriving promptly to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy all your package inclusions.

If your package includes hospitality, please note the serving time (whether pre-game, half time or after the final whistle) as late arrival may result in missed hospitality. Commonly lounge areas open 2.5 hours prior to kickoff.

CAN I BRING A LARGE BAG/SUITCASE/PRAM TO THE STADIUM?

Most stadiums now operate the same bag policy which is no large bags, rucksacks or suitcases. They also do not permit prams or buggies into the stadium. For further details please check the club/venue website directly.

Small bags, a maximum of A4 in size, are usually allowed into the stadium but please check your e-ticket for allowed content.  Bags will be checked entering the stadium so please allow extra time for this during busy periods.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS I CANNOT BRING INTO THE STADIUM?
