Match Q&A
Pre-match Q&A
Parking and transport
Parking nearby the stadium is available at the "Letenská pláň" parking park. Due to limited capacity, we recommend using public transport. The closest tram stop to the stadium is "Sparta" (50 meters), and metro station "Hradčanská" (500 meters)
Can I buy a ticket at the stadium?
It is usually not possible to buy tickets on the spot before the game and the ticket offices are usually closed. We recommend to secure tickets in advance HERE. To purchase tickets you must have a Sparta iD.
What time does the stadium open?
The stadium opens 90 minutes before the match. We recommend arriving early to avoid queues. The team appreciates the support of the fans during warm-up which starts 35 minutes before kick-off.
I have a problem with tickets or another question.
Visit the customer centre, located in the arcade of the stadium, next to entrance A. It is open two hours before the game until 15 minutes after kickoff.
Can I store my oversized luggage like a suitcase or stroller somewhere before the game?
You have the option to use the services of the storage room, which is located on the „Letenská pláň“ directly opposite the stadium. It is opened an hour and a half before kickoff and will close an hour after the end of the match.
What should I know before visiting the stadium?
All important rules can be found in the Code of Conduct HERE.
Match Q&A
Can I enter the stadium with my camera?
Access with cameras that could be defined as "professional recording equipment" is only allowed to accredited members of the media, who may only carry the camera in designated areas.
Why is a camera different from a mobile phone that can also take pictures?
The presence of cameras in the ownership of non-accredited persons in the stadium is forbidden fo example by UEFA, to protect the holder of the broadcasting rights. A mobile phone, unlike a camera, serves primarily as a means of communication.
Why can't I have my luggage at the stadium?
Luggage that cannot be attached to the person (e.g. a hip pack) could block stairways and aisles, which are exits and evacuation routes that must remain clear throughout the game in case of an emergency evacuation. Luggage in the aisles also makes it difficult for other people to pass through.
Why can't I go to the regular sector with walking crutches?
A fan with walking crutches may block escape routes in need of an evacuation.
Why am I not allowed to stand in the stairwell during the game?
Stairways are important communications and evacuation passages. They must always be fully accessible during the match, for example for medical services with stretchers, firefighters with heavy equipment, etc.
I am a fan of the visiting team and I was not allowed to enter the stadium even though I have a valid ticket for another sector.
This is due to the fact that the club is obliged to ensure the separation of away and home fans for security reasons, based on UEFA and LFA rules.
Can I return after leaving the stadium during the match?
When leaving the epet ARENA, the ticket loses its validity; the code on the ticket or season ticket can only be retrieved once per match.
Will the players give me a jersey if I bring a big sign with a written request?
It's certainly not their responsibility. Very likely it won't happen, instead they may swap the jersey with the opponent, donate it to charity or to a family member. The fans can't feel that the sign entitles them to the jersey. It is definitely better to visit the fanshop before the game.
The Stewards banned me from entering the stadium with an object, while another fan with a similar object was allowed to go in.
The Stewards has the authority to decide which item will not be allowed into the stadium. In making this decision, it takes into account the potential danger of the sector, the location of the sector and its capacity.
How is it possible that I have a ticket and was not allowed into the stadium?
There may be several reasons. Unfortunately, it is possible that you have been the victim of a reseller who resold you a duplicate of ticket. In this case, the turnstile will no longer allow a second entry. The second possibility is that the ticket has been altered or is a fake. In this case, you will not be allowed to enter. The third possibility is that the organisers assess that you could potentially be considered by some of our fans in the stadium as a fan of the visiting team, in which case you will not be admitted for reasons of your own safety. All of the above options may have a common denominator of "purchasing a ticket from a third party and not directly from ACS". The terms and conditions clearly define that any resale is not allowed. The ticket can only be returned to AC Sparta. Please read the terms and conditions and avoid purchasing tickets from third parties. If the organiser decides that you will not be admitted, please leave the area around the stadium. We regret the situation, but you have been the victim of someone who oversold your ticket. The club is obliged to ensure that home and away fans are properly separated. Under no circumstances can the organiser allow more people into the stadium than the designated capacity.
Can I smoke at the stadium?
Smoking, including electronic cigarettes and the use of any devices for heated tobacco is prohibited in the epet ARENA (except the areas reserved by the operator).
What should I do if my child gets lost in the stadium?
Notify the nearest Steward, giving a basic description of your child, your name and telephone number and where you will be staying. We will inform you as soon as your child will be found. It is also important to také notice of the stadium radio announcements. If your child does not have your phone number, we may use a local broadcasting company to spread the information.
