CROESO, JACK ARMY!

TICKET OFFICE AND CLUB SHOP
The ticket office and club shop will be open from 9am until 5pm on Saturday, due to the earlier kick-off time at 12.30pm.

NEW FOR 2025-26
NORTH CAR PARK ACCESS
Earlier today we announced a change to our matchday procedures.
Over the summer break, the club has been making amendments to the stadium footprint in the northeast corner. There is now a permanent fence line situated along the back of our north car park. The introduction of this fence line is to support the club’s safety and security procedures on a matchday.
In future, supporters who are exiting the stadium via the northeast corner (adjacent to the River Tawe) will have two route options:
- Head South towards the Westacres South Stand (past the Mel Nurse Bar) and in the direction of the ticket office.
- Head North along the river path; supporters who are walking towards Rossi’s/Landore can use the widened route towards the council-owned footpath adjacent to the River Tawe.
Supporters who are parked in the North Car Park, or have accessibility requirements, will be able to access the car park. However, they will be held for a short period of time until it is safe to allow access through the perimeter gates.
CONCOURSE KIOSK ORDERING
What is new?
- Available from the Food kiosk - Food & drink can now be bought directly at the tills inside the food kiosks, making it quicker and easier to grab a bite.
- Available from the Bar Kiosks - Express Drinks-Only service – just use the SOUs to order your favourite alcoholic or soft drink, and enjoy a faster, streamlined experience.
- You can continue to pre-order your drinks before kick-off using the SOUs and pick them up at half-time.
JUNIOR JACKS
Keep track of your 2025-26 Swans Journey, Junior Jacks, with the new season tracker poster.
You can collect your poster from the club shop, and your Watford sticker from the club shop or ticket office before or after the match.
For those Junior Jacks seated in the South Stand, don't forget to get in early to enjoy the activities in the Buzz Parks family fan zone (turnstiles 12-14), or - for those who prefer a quieter matchday experience - join the WildSpace team in the WildSpace Sensory Zone (turnstile 11).

The Cwtch will be showing the match on TV, people who choose to leave the stands and access the space can continue to watch the game.
Supporters can also use this space to pray and reflect. For those who require them, prayer mats - which are available to borrow - are stored in the room.

ACCESSIBILITY
Swansea City aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone and we understand that not everyone enjoys a game in the same way.

The club has joined with AccessAble to create visual guides. These can be viewed HERE.
Supporters located in the South Stand, are invited to head to the WildSpace Sensory Zone on the west side of the concourse for a quieter pre-match experience. You can avoid the noisier sections of the concourse by using Turnstile 11 to enter the ground.
If you require additional support, please speak to our friendly Disability Liaison Steward (they wear green) on the day, or email us in advance to let us know how we can help.
BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE
Swansea City is proud to be the first EFL club to have a permanent BSL provision at the ground.

And will also be on hand to support fans for whom BSL is their main language.

LOVE FOOTBALL, PROTECT THE GAME
The atmosphere you create is a crucial part of our club, and Alan Sheehan, his staff and the players are hugely grateful for the manner in which you get behind the team.
However, in recent seasons, some clubs have witnessed unsavoury and unwelcome scenes with a small minority of people entering the field of play.
Pitch incursions are dangerous and anyone who does encroach onto the playing surface will face strong sanctions, that could include a ban from attending matches here at the Swansea.com Stadium and across the country, as well as possible police action.
It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and the real-life consequences for these actions have seen some of those responsible receive criminal records which can impact employment, education prospects and international travel.
We ask you to keep the pitch for players and the stands for supporters and avoid any unnecessary disruption.
Everybody should feel safe at football, and we all have a role to play in keeping each other safe on matchdays.
Love Football, Protect the Game.
