Liverpool has a dedicated Fan Support Team on hand around the exterior of the stadium and the roads surrounding the ground to assist fans. They also have Fan Support team members at Lime St Train Station and Queens Square Bus station.

There are many local pubs around the area. The Arkles Pub, located just next to Anfield Road, and the Sandon, on Walton Breck Road, welcome home and away supporters.

Four hours before kick-off, Anfield opens its Fan Areas which welcome home and away supporters. 

There are activities and competitions for all fans of all ages to take part in. There are toilet facilities in the zones which include accessible and baby changing facilities. Food and drink is also available in the Fan Zones including street food-style offerings.

ADMISSION

Sunday's match kicks off at 1.30pm. Turnstiles will open at approximately 11.30am and supporters are encouraged to arrive as early as possible to clear security.

The game is all-ticket. Do not travel if you do not have a ticket. There are no ticket-collections at Anfield, and no opportunity to upgrade concessionary tickets to adult tickets, or vice-versa. 

If requests for duplicates have been made to the Argyle Ticket Office by 12.30pm on Saturday, the duplicates can be collected from the Ticket Office at the Kop End of Anfield from 9am on Sunday at Window 10. They will issue duplicates only that have been requested by the Argyle Ticket Office.

Stewards will conduct thorough ticket checks and searches before fans access the turnstiles.

Once inside the ground, stewards will direct fans to the seat marked on their ticket – fans will not be permitted to migrate to other areas. 

There are no left-luggage facilities at Anfield. Only small bags can be taken in to the stadium. 

FOOD AND DRINK 

KIOSKS offer a range of hot and cold refreshments. For supporters who enter the ground within the first 30 minutes of turnstiles opening, a ‘Buy a pie and get a soft/hot drink free’ meal-deal is offered. To manage the expectations of fans who want only a pint, a separate beer kiosk is available to save time from queuing at the main kiosk. 

WIFI

WI-FI is available in the concourse area of each stand. Fans will need to connect to ‘Fan Wi-Fi’ and register for the free service.
