Bloomfield Road is around a 15-20 minute walk from Blackpool Town Centre. Follow signs for Blackpool Football Club and head towards Seasiders Way.

Ticketing

If you do need to collect your ticket prior to the game, the away ticket collection booth is located on Bloomfield Road, outside the Blackpool FC Hotel.

Entering and Exiting Bloomfield Road

To ensure smooth access to the stadium, please ensure you are entering through the correct turnstile. Details of the turnstile will be printed on your ticket. You will not be permitted to use any other turnstile, and this will result in delays to you taking your seat. Please be aware - once you have entered the stadium you will not be permitted to leave and re-enter.

All supporters must have a valid ticket and should stay in their designated seat.

Please note there are two separate sets of turnstiles into the away (East) stand. Fans with tickets for blocks EA-ED should use gates 22-25 at the north end. Fans with tickets for blocks EE-EH should use gates 18-21 at the south end by the BFC hotel.

Most of the turnstiles will close 15 minutes after kick-off although one turnstile for each part of the stadium will remain open until half-time. The late turnstiles in the East Stand are 18 and 22. If you arrive later than that you can go to the gate adjacent to any of the turnstiles. They are staffed throughout the game by stewards who will be able to admit entry to anyone with a valid ticket.

Please be aware you may have to exit via a different route than the way you entered. Fans must adhere to steward instruction for exiting the stadium.
