Today’s the day, here’s what you can expect on match day.

Tickets

Tickets are on sale online up to 2:30 @ hunslet.mysportstickets.co.uk

Junior Tickets will be available and match day tickets available to purchase from the club reception ticket desk near the stadium reception, but this is likely to be very busy.

Ticket prices for the game are:

  • Adults £15
  • Concessions £10
  • 16-under 21s/students £5
  • Children & Young People under 16 Free

Recommended to buy online in advance to reduce queuing on matchday.

Please note all tickets for children and young people under 16’s are free, these tickets should be picked up from the club reception desk on game day.

A common mistake last season was the purchase of an Under 21/student ticket for children and young people online when they can pick up a ticket free of charge at the game.

Car Parking & Transport

The best location for Match-day parking is the ‘overflow’ car park which is a right turn off the mini roundabout if you are coming from the Dewsbury Road up Middleton Grove, or straight across from John Charles approach if you are coming from the motorway. The overflow car park is also only a short walk to the South Leeds Stadium main entrance and turnstiles. The car park in front of the main South Leeds Stadium reception is usually busy with general parking for the Tennis and Aquatics centres and also has a 3-hour maximum time limit with potential fines for overstaying the 3 hours.

There are several disabled bays near the South Leeds Stadium entrance and the Aquatics centre for blue badge holders.

Cottingley is the closest train station to the South Leeds Stadium, but the bus links to the stadium are better from Leeds Central Train Station. You can catch the Arriva bus 118A to the South Leeds Stadium from Leeds Train Station (buses leave at 12:40, 13:40 and 14:00 and it takes approximately 18 minutes to get to the stadium).

Stadium Info

However, seating in the stadium is unallocated. There is a section on the lower tier in front of the Parkside suite which is reserved for hospitality.

The club are still also taking some precautions in the stadium regarding Covid 19 and will have a red zone in the area directly behind the ‘dug outs’ where the substitutes and support staff sit during the game.

Wheelchair access is via the stadium main reception and the doors behind this on to the stand. Tickets need to be purchased prior to entry, Carers accompanying a spectator in a wheelchair have free access but need to pick up a ticket form the ticket desk.

Tackle It

Match days are for families and friends to enjoy and make memories. We want our games to provide an environment that will inspire and entertain people of all backgrounds and generations.

We will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour or language, nor any form of discrimination.

Failure to comply will result in you being asked to leave as well as possible exclusion for future matches.

Poor behaviour costs the club financially and could also cost us our on-field success.

Post-Match

The club’s Phoenix bar will remain open until 6pm with player appearances and interviews after the big game.
