HOW DO YOU BUY A VIP PASS?
You can usually buy VIP or hospitality passes in three main ways:
- Direct from the club or stadium on their official hospitality pages.
- From official hospitality agencies that specialise in VIP football tickets.
- Through event partners or sponsors for corporate packages.
- Always check that the provider is official or authorised to avoid fake or invalid VIP tickets.
HOW DOES ENTRY AND ACCESS WORK?
Most VIP passes are now digital tickets, QR codes, or NFC passes that are scanned at special entrances.
You are directed to your VIP lounge or box, where staff will guide you to seating, food, and services.
IS A VIP PASS WORTH IT?
A VIP pass is usually worth it if you care about:
- Comfort and service, not just seeing the game.
- Hosting clients or guests in a professional setting.
- Making a big match feel like a full-day experience with food, drinks and social time.
- For regular matches where you just want to watch the game as cheaply as possible, a normal ticket is usually enough.
WHAT SHOULD YOU CHECK BEFORE BUYING?
- Exactly what’s included (food, drinks, parking, lounge access).
- Whether the pass is for 1 match, several matches, or a full season.
- Dress code for hospitality lounges (some require smart casual).
- If the ticket is personalised or transferable and what ID is required.
