Before Leaving the Hotel

Verify if your ticket is mobile-only. Download it beforehand. In Italy and France, security checks require a government ID matching the ticket name.
Bag Restrictions
Most stadiums enforce a strict size limit (A4 paper equivalent). Large backpacks will be rejected at the gates. Check for bag deposit points outside.
Transit Planning
Stadium parking is highly limited and expensive. Rely on public transport (tube, trains, metros). We outline travel details for each venue.
