At the Stadium

Entering the Stadium

The Pirelli Stadium provides both seating and a standing terrace for away supporters.
On entering the stadium, a search will be conducted as part of the Burton Albion Safety process. Burton kindly ask supporters not to bring any items that might slow down the search regime, including rucksacks and large bags.

Once inside the ground you will be directed by our stewards to either your seat or the standing terrace, dependant on which ticket you have purchased.

If situated in the terrace you may be politely asked to move along to assist in maintaining gangway and entry point space for everybody’s safety.

Burton ask that all fans co-operate with instructions from the stewards which are for the safety and welfare of all supporters.

Under-3s are allowed in the seating area only at no extra charge, but must remain on their parent's lap. All supporters over the age of 3 will be required to purchase a matchday ticket. Under-5s are not permitted to watch the game from the terraces for their own safety.

Burton are unable to offer refunds to anyone who misses all or part of the game and advise away fans to arrive inside the stadium as early as possible (at least 30 minutes prior to kick-off). Turnstiles open 1 hour and 30 minutes before the game starts, with bar and refreshment facilities available and pre-match entertainment.

Pre match Family Zone

Burton welcome families of both home and away supporters to the Pirelli Stadium, and the fun starts as soon as you arrive at the ground. Head over to the 3G pitch at the Community Football Centre for all our Pre- Match Family Zone! Look out for Billy Brewer, who will occasionally make
his way over to join in for a kick-about.

There will be fun and games for up to two and a half hours before kick-off, helping you get you ready for the big game.
