Travel Guide

Welcome to Plymouth Argyle Football Club. Your home supporter guide will help you with many of your questions about Argyle, as well as providing information to ensure you get the most out of your match day experience at Home Park Stadium.

We are always happy to receive feedback and comments from our supporters. If you have any views on how we can improve your match day experience, please let us know by sending an email to supporters@pafc.co.uk

Our Supporters' Charter is now available to read by clicking here. Please take time to read it before visiting Home Park.

Match Tickets

From season tickets to events at Home Park, and from match tickets to away travel, our friendly Home Park Ticket Office team are here to help.

Tickets for all Argyle matches are sold on a priority basis, with season ticket holders receiving priority over Evergreen members, who in-turn receive priority over general sale. As a general rule, tickets first go on sale between three to five weeks before the match is due to be played.

Season ticket holders' seats are reserved for them for every home Sky Bet Championship game.

You can buy tickets all day, every day, online here

You can visit or call the Home Park Ticket Office on 01752 907700, click here to check Ticket Office opening hours.

You can also contact us at tickets@pafc.co.uk

Getting to Home Park

When you match stunning architecture and beautiful ambience with outstanding facilities and impeccable service, what you have is Home Park Stadium.

A venue that redefines hospitality in the South West, setting the bar just that little bit higher than it has ever been before in the region.

Not only is this venue an impressive place to watch first class professional football with the Club Argyle corporate membership, it’s also one of the most iconic venues for holding a conference, staging an event, or marking an important occasion.

As a venue, Home Park Stadium now delivers on every possible level, all visitors are assured that above anything else, their time spent here will be memorable.

Home Park Stadium is based in the Milehouse area of the city, adjacent to the green space of Central Park. 

For detailed travel information, please click here.

Car Parking

The Milehouse park and ride car park, adjacent to Home Park, is a large and free car park. As it is used by those travelling into the city centre and by users of the nearby Life Centre, the car park is usually very busy and fills up extremely quickly on match-days, so very early arrival is essential to secure a space.

As this car park becomes full very early on match days, we recommend seeking alternative parking options in the city centre and in Plymouth’s other park and ride car parks. There are several pay and display car parks in and around the city centre. The closest of these to Home Park is on Stuart Road (PL1 5LH), but there are also several others in the city centre at Western Approach (PL1 1AJ), Theatre Royal (PL1 2TR) and Drake’s Circus (PL1 1EA).

Many buses operate from the nearby Royal Parade and Western Approach to Alma Road which is just a short walk from the ground.

Using park and ride services are also excellent options:

The George Park & Ride - PL6 7HB
Coypool Park Ride - PL7 4TB

Parking at these park and ride car parks is free, and there are dedicated match day special bus services, provided by Plymouth Citybus, which run to and from Home Park on match-days to get you to the game.

Please see our travel guide here (include link) for full details and timetables.

We’d ask supporters to avoid residential areas and use one of the many designated parking areas where possible.

Further parking has also been made available for all home matches until the end of the 2023/24 season through event parking partner, Big Parking. This pre-bookable option will offer supporters the opportunity to guarantee their parking space at locations in close proximity to the ground (approx. 5 min walk). Car parking starts at £10 per vehicle and can be purchased at https://thebigparking.co.uk/ or by calling 02476 997605.

Car parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and will be available to purchase at least four weeks before the match.

Any supporters requiring Accessible parking are advised to still contact the club directly.

Please be aware of road closures around the Stadium on a match day to further protect the safety of supporters. All of the Big Parking car parks are located outside of the road closure zone so your access and departure will not be affected by these measures. Car parks will be open from three hours before kick off and will close one hour after the final whistle.

Security and Entry Process

The club takes its commitment to supporter security extremely seriously. Forming part of the requirements of our new risk-based safety certificate, and work with the Counter Terrorism Unit, the club has implemented enhanced security measures, with the safety of all fans, guests, and officials at Home Park at the centre of our thinking.

Supporters can expect to be searched by our security team as they enter the stadium. The club will ensure that any searches are undertaken by security members of the same gender.

Bringing bags to the stadium is actively discouraged. However, fans arriving at Home Park with a small personal bag (for example, medical bags or handbags) capable of being stowed under seats is permitted. Please note, supporters should expect this to be searched before entry. 

It’s likely that enhanced checks will have an effect on entry times, although staff and security will work as fast as we can to provide entry to supporters. With this in mind, we ask that supporters arrive in plenty of time to prevent queues forming as kick-off approaches.

Plymouth Argyle FC is proud to be a family club, winning EFL Family Club of the Year during the 19/20 season and receiving the Gold award in 2023 under the EFL’s Family Excellence scheme.

Our recommended area for family seating within Home Park is in the lower tier of the Beacon Electrical Mayflower Stand (blocks A-G), due to its excellent views of the pitch and its close proximity to the Argyle Superstore, Fan Zone and Pilgrim Pete!

Once you’ve booked your tickets, there is lots to see and do around the ground on match days, and we encourage you to come and join in the fun!

The Argyle Community Trust hosts a special Family Activity Zone within the Mayflower Fan Zone, which opens from 12pm for a 3pm kick-off. Both home and away fans are very welcome to come and take part in and enjoy a variety of sporting activities, including:

• 3 vs 3 blow-up pitch
• Penalty Shoot-out/Target goal
• Table Tennis
• Agility course
• Jenga
• Facepainting
• Skipping

Please note that activities do vary from match to match and the above list is not exhaustive, but designed to provide a flavour of the fun we provide.

All activities are free to access for all children, with no need to book – just turn up and enjoy! Feel free to come and join us or to find out more information, please get in touch via: supporters@pafc.co.uk.

Families won’t want to miss the chance to meet our mischievous mascot, Pilgrim Pete! Pete can be found in the Mayflower Fan Zone from 1.15pm-1.30pm, at the Argyle Superstore from 1.30pm-1.45pm, and roaming the pitch-side areas inside Home Park in the hour leading up to kick off (please note timings are approximate). Pete is always happy to stop for photos and autographs, so be sure to say hello!

The Argyle Superstore, which stocks a wide range of children’s kits, fashion wear and accessories, is the perfect place to pick out a souvenir from your visit. You can even customise and create your own perfect Argyle gift! With the ability to design your own personalised keyrings, coasters, mugs, magnets and notebooks, there’s sure to be something for every Argyle fan.

Families will also find a wide range of food & beverage options, including adult and child meal deals, available through our kiosks inside Home Park. There are also television screens throughout the stadium concourse areas, showing other fixtures before kick-off to keep you up-to-date with everything happening in the football world.

Make sure you follow us on social media, and download the official Argyle App, to access a range of exclusive content, a wealth of match day information and ultimately make the most of your visit.

Fan Zone

We are delighted to be able to welcome supporters to our new Fan Zone, which is now open on home match days in the Mayflower Quarter (located just up from the Argyle Superstore and Ticket Office - please see our “Stadium Map” page within our downloadable PDF Supporters Guide for exact location), from 12pm.

In partnership with C&G Catering, the Fan Zone offers an array of food and drink stalls, supplementing the product range available at the kiosks inside Home Park and offering the Green Army an even wider choice of delicious hot food, snacks and alcoholic and soft beverages.

Please note that the concessions inside the Fan Zone will change from game-to-game to provide supporters with even greater choice across the season! Please contact us via supporters@pafc.co.uk to find out what will be available when you’re coming!

A big screen will show live sport, perfect for those who just can’t wait until kick off to get their sporting fix, while live music will also be on offer.

It’s also the new home for our Family Zone, hosted by the Argyle Community Trust, making it the perfect place for families to enjoy a range of games and activities and soak up the pre-match atmosphere.

Look out for Pilgrim Pete too, who will make a mischievous appearance in the Fan Zone between (approx.) 1.15pm-1.30pm!

Open to all supporters pre-match with a valid match ticket, whether you are a home or away fan! Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand ticket holders will also be able to gain access at half-time, to further complement the food and drink offering during the mid-game interval.

Come and join us!
