Match Tickets

Disabled supporters wishing to attend Sheffield Eagles matches on a match-by-match basis must pay the full and appropriate admission charge, according to age for which the application is made.

A complimentary ‘Carer's Ticket’ for any match for which an admission charge is payable is available. To be eligible for the free ‘Carer Ticket’ you must provide relevant proof that you are in receipt of a Carer Component in the Disability Living Allowance for each match attended.

The above also applies to away supporters. Appropriate proof of disability must be included if applying in advance of attending any 'home' Sheffield Eagles matches. We advise away supporters to book tickets in advance by calling 0114 398 1998. Proof can also be provided in advance by email to info@sheffieldeagles.com

Disabled supporters should currently be in receipt of either the Higher-Medium rate Mobility or Higher Care Components of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) OR P.I.P. Disabled Supporters will also need to submit copies of the DLA or PIP.

 

Accessible Parking

Parking is limited and available adjacent to the stadium's entrance, but parking is available on the site in the Worksop Road Car Park. Early arrival at the ground is recommended, as access cannot be guaranteed close to kick-off time and Disabled Spaces are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

 

Accessible Seating

Disabled spectators currently have two options for viewing the Sheffield Eagles match at the Steel City Stadium.

Wheelchair used can watch the match from the gangway which surronds the pitch and can position themselves anywhere around the pitch on the tarmac gangway so long as no gates or other access points to and from the pitch are blocked. Please note all these positions are uncovered but all spectators are welcome to bring in umberallas if and when required.

We have disabled seated in the Main Stand which can be booked by contacting Mark.Hannigan@sheffieldeagles.com

 

Food / Drink Concessions

Refreshments can be obtained from the concession stands within the ground and there is no restrictions for disabled supporters.

 

Toilet Facilities

Assistance / Guide Dogs

General Assistance
