As in previous years, our stewards will be carrying out routine bag checks at entry points. As a reminder, you are welcome to bring one small bag per person. It must be no bigger than 18\u201d x 12\u201d x 12\u201d (45cm x 30cm x 30cm) – about the size of a regular backpack or rucksack.<\/p>\n
The Ticket Office will be open from 9:00am until the end of the Tea interval.<\/p>\n
Member Seating and Facilities<\/p>\n
All stands will be available to Members.<\/p>\n
Either Upper Stand B or Upper Stand C will be open, depending on which wicket is in use (please note this may vary by fixture).<\/p>\n
Accessible seating is available in Stands B, C, E and on the Pavilion Terrace. Caff\u00e8 Nero is accessible via the concourse door located in Stand A.<\/p>\n
Upgrades and Indoor Spaces<\/p>\n
The Middle Balcony remains available as an upgrade at \u00a35 per person and can be booked through the Ticket Office team.<\/p>\n
The Edge will be open as an indoor Members\u2019 space during the following times:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a011:00am \u2013 4:00pm (Monday – Friday)
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a012:00pm \u2013 4:00pm (Saturday – Sunday)<\/p>\n
The Hodgkiss Bar will also be open during these hours.<\/p>\n
Introduction of Reusable Cups<\/p>\n
From the 2026 season, we are introducing a reusable cup system at Emirates Old Trafford for all matchdays. This initiative forms part of our wider sustainability commitment and aims to reduce the Club\u2019s environmental impact.<\/p>\n
A \u00a31 levy will be applied to a supporter\u2019s first drink purchase. Once the levy has been paid, supporters can return to the bar with their cup and exchange it for a clean one without paying the levy again.<\/p>\n
By moving to reusable cups, we can significantly reduce the volume of waste produced on matchdays, decrease litter around the stadium and lower our overall environmental impact. This could result in approximately 400,000 fewer cups entering waste streams compared to previous years.<\/p>\n
The levy helps cover the costs of operating the scheme, including cup rental, washing, quality control and distribution. All remaining proceeds will be donated to the Lancashire Cricket Foundation.<\/p>\n
Within Members\u2019 areas and hospitality suites, drinks purchased and consumed indoors will continue to be served in glassware and no levy will apply. However, if you wish to take your drink outside, you will need to return to the bar, collect a reusable cup and pay the \u00a31 levy.<\/p>\n
Car Parking<\/p>\n
Rothesay County Championship and Metro Bank One Day Cup seasonal parking passes are available to purchase. These cover all Men\u2019s Rothesay County Championship and Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures at Emirates Old Trafford and are priced at \u00a3101.<\/p>\n
