Stadium Entry
Chelsea operate the following queuing procedure to co-ordinate and moderate the flow of supporters to the turnstiles to ensure a safe entry into the stadium.
On arrival at the queuing system the following processes will occur:
- Pre-entry ticket checks
- Body and bag search
- Electronic ticket scan
- Entry through turnstile
During these procedures it may be necessary to temporarily hold supporters at cordon points to achieve a safe and steady flow through to the turnstiles.
Turnstiles will be open two hours (90 minutes for midweek fixtures) before kick-off, and it is advised supporters to be in their seats no later than 30 minutes before kick-off.
Please note that large numbers of supporters arriving late cannot have an expectation of making it into the stadium before kick-off.
Visiting Supporters Public Houses
The nearest visiting supporters pubs are to the north-east of Stamford Bridge at Earls Court and are a 25 to 30-minute walk (1.4 miles) from the stadium.
- Earls Court Tavern | 123 Earls Court Road, Kensington, London SW5 9RL

Security Measures
Enhanced security measures are in place and supporters are advised to arrive early to facilitate these. It is requested supporters avoid bringing bags where possible as enhanced searches will be taking place. Please note that bags larger than A4 will not be permitted entry into the stadium.
Please note that explosive/narcotic/pyrotechnic detection dogs will be present throughout.
Safe Standing (Barrier/Rail Seating)
Safe standing in seated areas, it should be noted, is distinct both from persistent standing in seated areas, and from safe standing in conventional terraced standing accommodation.
At Stamford Bridge in the away supporter sections standing supporters are protected from the risks of forward movement by the installation of suitably designed independent barriers in front of each seat, or by the provision of a suitably designed seats that incorporates barriers.
The design of each seat and seating row allows for free-flowing lateral movement into and out of the seating row. Safety management procedures are in place to mitigate against encroachment onto the gangways. Safety management procedures are in place to manage the numbers of supporters entering the safe standing accommodation and safety management procedures are in place to manage the behaviour of Supporters.
