New Alcohol Licence Trial By The Cherries

At the Manchester United home fixture on Saturday 13th April, AFC Bournemouth will run a trial allowing home supporters to purchase alcohol from the various points of sale situated around the stadium and permit them to consume it anywhere within the green perimeter fencing.

This will encompass the entire footprint of the stadium, except for the area outside the away stand.

Supporters are asked to have their ticket ready when coming onto the grounds of Vitality Stadium, as there will be a soft ticket check implemented at the perimeter fencing. Supporters will simply need to show their matchday ticket at this point.

A security check and ticket scan will occur once a supporter is set to enter the stadium at the turnstiles, as usual.

In accordance with the license conditions, the Club will be operating with the Challenge 25 policy and ensure all our guests drink responsibly.

Anyone deemed intoxicated or abusive will be refused service in line with the Club’s zero‑tolerance policy.
