What you can and cannot bring inside Wembley Stadium

The famous Wembley Stadium, which hosts some of the most important events worldwide, has essential rules that are extremely important to follow, otherwise, entrance is not guaranteed!

Bag allowed size

Every person is allowed to bring just one bag, which must have an A4 dimension:

  • Height 297mm (11.7 inches)
  • Width 210mm (8.27 inches)
  • Depth 210mm (8.27 inches)

The rule comprehends the actual bag dimensions, any attempt to reduce the bag size by folding or emptying it, will not change the measure calculation at the stadium entrance.

Anyone that will not satisfy this rule will not be allowed to enter the stadium!

This condition was made and is reviewed every year by Wembley security, to guarantee an accurate screening of the items and a better check of possible dangerous objects. Plus, with these kinds of controls, the line will be shorter at the entrance.

What about the official merchandise?

When you are inside the stadium, every matchday merchandise will be given to you in a clear plastic bag. If you want to buy any product at the official shops outside the stadium, they will be sealed up, and is important to not break the seal until you make the security controls.

Bag inspection

All the spectators and staff at Wembley Stadium are under mandatory check by the stadium security inspectors. The inspection will include electronic devices or pat down, and for the bag size query, a bag gauge will be used.
