Stadium Information
All fixtures are all ticket for away fans, with no sales on the day. Tickets will be available to purchase from your own Club. Adult tickets are priced at £29 or £30 depending on the fixture. Away fans are located in blocks VU1, VU2 and VU3 of the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand and VL of the lower tier. Within the three upper tier blocks there are both safe standing and seated options. The away turnstiles will open approximately 90 minutes prior to kick-off. Portman Road stadium is a cashless stadium.
Getting There
By Car
There is no official stadium car park, but there is parking all around the ground. The closest is a large car park on Portman Road (right by the away end, post code IP1 2BP), though this can be full by 1:30pm or even earlier, on a Saturday matchday and 6:30pm or earlier before a midweek game. Note that the Portman Road entry/exit for this car park will be closed from 15 minutes before the end of the game until 15 minutes after the game. Vehicle access via Friars Bridge Road to Princes Street remains open at all times. This car park normally takes an hour or more to clear post-match. There are also large car parks on West End Road (5 minutes’ walk away, post code IP1 2DZ) and at the railway station (less than 10 minutes, postcode IP2 8AL). The town centre is less than 10 minutes’ walk, and has numerous car parks, as you’d expect.
