FAN COACHES

Official coach travel with the Club is no longer on sale, fans who are travelling with our coaches must be ready for departure from the Totally Wicked Stadium at 6:30am on Sunday, 4th June.

Please note that coaches will return at 7pm on Sunday, 4th June.

PASS IN AND OUT AT SJP

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.

Opening Times: Saturday 1pm – 7.30pm | Sunday 12pm – 5.30pm
