Fan Guide
Pass Out System
A pass out/return system will be operated on both event days allowing spectators to move freely to and from the stadium bowl β there is no limit on the number of times someone is allowed to pass out and re-enter.
Spectators leaving the stadium with the intention of returning may do so but MUST first ensure they have had a hand stamp from a stadium steward upon initial exit β if there is no evidence of a hand stamp re-entry will not be permitted. It is important that match tickets are not discarded as tickets must be produced alongside a hand stamp for re-entry if using the pass out system.
Fan Zone
The Magic Weekend Fan Zone will be located directly outside Elland Road offering food, drinks and activates delivered by official partners.
Host Alex Simmons will be at the heart of the activity with live music and special guest interviews whilst Leeds based band Lucky Iris are set to perform live on Saturday night.
