Match Tickets
From season tickets to flexi tickets to match tickets and 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 flexi ticket holders, 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.

Car Parking
Outland Road Car Park, adjacent to Home Park, is a very large – and free! – car park.
It is managed by the local council, and is typically a park-and-ride car park serving Plymouth city centre. It is free to use on match days, but will obviously begin to fill up very early for many fixtures, especially for high-profile matches.
Argyle Merchandise & Shop
The Argyle Superstore is located between the corner of the Babcock Devonport End and Beacon Electrical Mayflower Grandstand, behind the traditional Home Park turnstiles which were once the main entry point to the stadium. It is open from 9am on the morning of the match until 30 minutes after the final whistle.
There is also a dedicated retail outlet on the corner of the Babcock Devonport End and Portcullis Legals Lyndhurst Road stand, selling Puma merchandise - including the Pilgrims' replica kit and training wear.
You can shop online 24/7 at argylesuperstore.co.uk, with delivery and in-store click and collect available. If you choose to order online to be collected at Home Park on a match day, please ensure you complete your order at least three days prior to the match.

What's Nearby?
Located in Britain's picturesque 'Ocean City', Home Park Stadium is a short walk, or ride, into the city centre, with the stunning and historic waterfront within walking distance.
The stadium itself lies adjacent to Central Park, a large, communal green space with a number of playing fields, community cafes, and walking routes. Just beyond the park lies the city's train station, and the city centre a short walk further.
The stadium takes card payments throughout, and the nearest cashpoint is located at the ESSO petrol station just across Outland Road - a five minute walk from the stadium.
Food & Beverage
A number of food and beverage outlets surround the stadium, all open on match days, with food and refreshment kiosks open throughout the concourses inside the stadium. All of our kiosks serve a wide selection of food and drink.
Home Park is now a cashless stadium in our concourses and hospitality areas, although cash and card payments continue to be accepted for match day programme and 50/50 ticket purchases.
Options include hot and cold drinks, beers, pasties, pies, burgers, sausage rolls, and so much more.
If you are interested in upgrading your match day experience to sample some hospitality, including first-class dining with Club Argyle, contact our hospitality team on hospitality@pafc.co.uk.

Safeguarding
Plymouth Argyle Football Club is committed to providing a positive, inclusive experience for young people who come into contact with the Argyle family.
Plymouth Argyle is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and adults at risk and expects all staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.
A child centred approach is fundamental to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every child. PAFC’s Safeguarding Children Policy and Safeguarding Adults at Risk Policy are linked to ensure the safety and protection of vulnerable groups. In combination with our other safeguarding policies we provide robust safeguarding procedures for everyone involved in delivering our activities.

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.
COVID-19 Guidance
Throughout the pandemic, the club has co-operated fully with all government regulations and guidance related to COVID-19, and will continue to do so in the event that future regulations are introduced.
Visitors should not attend Home Park if they, or anyone they are in close contact with, are experiencing symptoms consistent with, or test positive for, COVID-19.
