What time do gates open?

Gates open 90 minutes before kick-off for all matches. We recommend arriving 45-60 minutes before kick-off for comfortable entry, particularly if you're in upper tier sections which take longer to access.

Can I bring my own food and drink?

Small sealed snacks are allowed, subject to bag checks. Plastic and metal water bottles up to 750ml are permitted. You cannot bring alcohol. Glass bottles and containers are prohibited.

Is there a bag size limit?

Yes—bags must be no larger than A4 size (approximately 210mm x 297mm). Anything larger will be refused entry. Backpacks and large bags are not permitted.

Can I bring a camera?

Personal cameras are allowed, but professional equipment (telephoto lenses, large DSLRs, commercial recording equipment) is restricted. Check with the club before bringing expensive gear.

Where's the best spot for photos outside the stadium?

The Bob Stokoe statue outside the stadium is the most popular photo spot. The Davy lamp monument at the main entrance also makes for an iconic image, symbolizing the stadium's mining heritage.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No—mobile tickets work directly from email or the club's app. Screenshots are accepted. No printing is necessary, though paper tickets are available if you've opted for postal delivery.

What happens if I'm late?

Late entry is permitted—you can still enter after kick-off. However, you may miss the opening minutes and face steward instructions to wait for a break in play before taking your seat to avoid obstructing other fans' views.

Can I change seats once inside?

No—you must sit in your allocated seat. Stewards check tickets and will ask you to move if you're in the wrong section. Stadium capacity management requires everyone to sit in their designated location.

Is there WiFi at the stadium?

Yes—the Stadium of Light became the UK's first 5G-enabled football stadium in 2024-2025. Free WiFi is available throughout, with excellent mobile network coverage from major providers including Virgin Media O2.

What should I do if I lose my group inside the stadium?

Establish a meeting point before entering (such as a specific concourse area or outside your seating section). Mobile phones work well throughout the stadium with 5G coverage. If a child is lost, immediately inform the nearest steward who will activate lost child procedures.
