Supporters making the journey to Parc des Princes, for our next UEFA Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, should take note of the following important information, which includes:

Guidance from local police on recommended areas for away supporters within the city.

Details of the stadium entry process, including full body searches by police and stewards.

Transport options available to the stadium.

Arrangements for supporters with accessibility requirements.

Details on prohibited items.

Flags should be pre-approved, submitting details to supporterservices@tottenhamhotspur.com, by no later than Monday, 24 November at 9am.

Around 2,000 Spurs supporters will be in attendance for the 9pm kick-off, with gates set to open at 6pm.

All supporters should avoid visiting the Auteuil suburb of Paris, including when travelling to the Parc des Princes on matchday.

Paris

Travelling supporters should take note of the government’s travel advice for France. If required, supporters can also contact the British Consulate in Paris for urgent support and assistance.

Anyone requiring consular assistance should call +33 1 44 51 31 00 and follow the options to speak to a consular officer (24/7).

Should you experience any problems whilst in Paris, you can call the Club’s Travel Line - 07917 880445. This number will be available throughout the day/evening of the match.

The currency of France is the Euro.

Passport validity

Supporters are advised that passports must have been issued less than 10 years before the date of entry to France (check the ‘date of issue’) and be valid for at least three months after the day of departure (check the ‘expiry date’).

Recommended areas for Spurs fans

There is no away fanzone, however, Seguin Sound - which is a 35-minute walk from the away turnstiles - is generally advised for away supporters due to its size and location within the city. Supporters can also access public transport from Seguin Sound, using Metro Line 9 from Billancourt to Porte de Saint-Cloud.

All supporters should avoid visiting the Auteuil suburb of Paris, including when travelling to the Parc des Princes on matchday.

Getting to the stadium

Fans are advised to use Metro Line 9 when making their way to the stadium, getting off at Porte de Saint-Cloud station. Away turnstiles are then a five-minute walk away. Supporters should use Av. de la Porte de Saint-Cloud, turning right onto Rue du Commandant Guilbaud where entry processes will begin. This will include a ticket check, searches and a turnstile entry process.

Travelling supporters should ensure not to use Metro Line 10, as this will result in exiting the train in Auteuil, which is an area occupied by PSG supporters.

At Parc des Princes

The stadium will open at 6pm local time.

Supporters will have tickets checked and be subject to a thorough body search upon arrival, with ID checks also in place. Please note that portable chargers, no larger than a mobile phone in size, will be permitted into the stadium. Supporters will be separated into separate queues to allow suitable searches to take place. Members of the Spurs stewarding team and staff will be on-hand to assist supporters throughout this process.

Entry to the stadium will be via a small number of downward steps following the turnstile entry procedures. A lift is available, and supporters should speak to a nearby steward for assistance should this be required. Access to a large amount of the away end is via stairs, and fans should contact access@tottenhamhotspur.com in advance of the fixture, should further support be required.

The visitor’s section is located across two tiers in the southeast corner of the stadium. Fans with tickets in the lower section will be given a wristband to wear upon entry, which must be worn in order to access this tier. There will be no migration allowed from the upper tier to the lower tier.

Tottenham Hotspur stewards will be present at the entrance and inside the stadium, designated as Visiting Fan Support.

We would like to remind fans to avoid standing in the vomitories in front of seated areas, and to be respectful of their fellow supporters to allow everyone to enjoy the game safely.

Supporters with Category 1 tickets

Supporters who have been allocated a UEFA Category 1 match ticket are forbidden from wearing Club colours as seating will be in the home section. Supporters with Category 1 tickets will gain entry to the stadium via Gate K, with seats located in block 317.

Accessibility

All wheelchair access is within the away section, with lifts available into the upper tier.

Supporters with further access requirements will be directed to the right-hand-side of the general access queue to allow a direct route into the stadium. It is advisable to arrive at least 90 minutes ahead of kick-off to allow faster access into the stadium.

Accessible toilets and facilities are available adjacent to wheelchair platforms. It is important to note that there are no accessible toilets located outside of the stadium.

Ambulant disabled supporters will be located within block 102, accessible via a small number of steps.

Alcohol

Alcohol will not be sold, nor can it be consumed within the stadium.

Bag Policy

Bags no larger than A4 in size will be permitted into the stadium following a search. There is no storage facility at the stadium, so supporters are advised not to bring larger bags with them.

Medical exemptions

Any supporters requiring a medical exemption to the bag policy, or any prohibited items are strongly advised to contact the Club in advance of travel at access@tottenhamhotspur.com.

Flags and banners

Flags, no larger than 2x1.5m, will be permitted into the stadium.

All flags will be checked outside of the turnstiles by staff prior to entering the stadium. Supporters with flags are advised to speak with a member of Spurs staff on arrival at the stadium.

To make this process as easy as possible for staff and supporters, we ask fans to submit the following to supporterservices@tottenhamhotspur.com by 9am on Monday, 24 November:

Image of your flag

Size/dimensions of your flag

Confirmation that it is fire-retardant (image of the fire certificate)

The Club has always considered that a football match is a time to show allegiance to a football team first and foremost. A football match is not an appropriate arena to display flags of any political or religious affiliation or anything that could possibly be considered inflammatory - this can include national flags during times of political conflicts, campaigns or issues.

Please note, as at other stadia in the UK and Europe, flags with religious / sectarian / political / inflammatory or offensive messages will not be permitted and may be confiscated. Flag poles up to one metre in length and one centimetre in diameter can be brought into the stadium. Any flag poles exceeding these dimensions will not be permitted.

Supporters are also reminded of the Club’s own Flags and Banners Policy which is in effect at away matches.

THFC Flags

We’re once again joining up with independent supporter group THFC Flags, who will be waving six of their large flags in the away end at Parc des Princes.

THFC Flags are behind many of the fantastic displays we see at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. To learn more about their work and how you can support them, click here...

Both cash and card payments will be accepted on the concourse throughout the away section.
