Strict adherence to the advice will ensure Wembley is a safe environment for all visitors on the day and give fans the opportunity to make the most of their visit.
Anyone without a ticket should not travel to the game. All tickets are strictly non-transferable and are not available to distribute to other supporters.
Fans with tickets are advised to check they are seated in the appropriate area of the stadium. Any supporter who is identified in opposition areas will be ejected from the stadium for breaching the FA’s ground regulations and be subject to each club’s own sanctions process.
Since 2022 Brent Council, and its partners, have enforced a no-street-drinking zone on Olympic Way and the surrounding area for ALL events at Wembley Stadium. This is part of the current Public Space Order Protection (PSPO) in place around the stadium on event days. More information on the order can be found here.
As part of the PSPO, shops and off-licences around Wembley Stadium are also banned from selling alcohol on match days.
Fans caught drinking on Olympic Way and the surrounding streets ahead of the Play-Off final will be asked to hand over their alcohol and enforcement action may be considered.
Supporters wanting alcohol before the game should head for the licensed bars or restaurants in the area or make their way to the dedicated fan zones outside the stadium.
All six teams have dedicated Fan Zone areas where supporters have the chance to join fellow fans to enjoy a drink, including alcohol, food and a DJ. They are an ideal place to soak up the pre-match party atmosphere.
There are two fans located on the East and West sides of the stadium. Fan Zone allocation is below.
The fan zones will be open from 11.00 each day and close 30 minutes prior to kick-off. They will stop serving alcohol one hour before kick-off.
Supporters will need to present a valid stadium ticket to enter either area which have limited capacities. The stadium’s bag policy (see below) also applies to anyone visiting the fan zone.
The use of pyrotechnics, flares and smoke devices inside or outside Wembley Stadium is illegal and prohibited. Anyone caught carrying or using pyrotechnical equipment inside the stadium will be immediately ejected from the stadium, banned from future events and dealt with by police. Those caught using pyrotechnic equipment anywhere outside of the stadium will be in breach of the PSPO order and face enforcement action.
The following measures will be in place to prevent the use of pyrotechnic equipment at Wembley Stadium.
