We would encourage spectators to buy tickets in advance from the Scottish Rugby website

Supporters should not purchase tickets from any unofficial sources prior to or on match day.

Can I buy and sell tickets anywhere else online?

Scottish Rugby do not have an official secondary ticketing partner and therefore tickets should only be purchased from Scottish Rugby directly through the following link – https://www.eticketing.co.uk/scottishrugby/.

Scottish Rugby actively discourage the activities of ticket touts and any tickets for sale on known secondary ticketing websites will be investigated and those seats will be cancelled.

Can I bring my young child?

Children under two are admitted free of charge provided they sit on the parent or guardian’s knee. Matches are however extremely busy events with large crowds and loud music which may not be suitable for very young children.

Baby changing units are available in the disabled toilets in the lower West Stand in both the North and South corners. The doors are marked with baby changing signs.

There is also a parenting room – accessible from the concourse behind the East Stand (north corner). Please ask one of our Blue Crew volunteers or a steward for access to the facility. We also have an additional one located in the west fan village beside the Dam Health Stadium

Covid-19

Do I need to be fully vaccinated to attend?

All adults (age 18 or over) attending the Autumn Nations Series at BT Murrayfield must be fully vaccinated and bring proof of this status with you to the match. Exemptions are made for those who are, a) unable to get the vaccine for medical reason, or b) taking part in vaccine trials.

What does ‘being fully vaccinated’ mean?

According to the Scottish Government guidelines, fully vaccinated means “…vaccinated with a MHRA recognised vaccine in line with the MHRA recommended number of doses for the vaccine used and two weeks has passed for the vaccine to take effect.”

How can I show I am full vaccinated?

You can download the NHS Covid App https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-status or get a paper copy of your vaccine from NHS Inform.

For further information on vaccine passports please visit https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-certification-scheme-information-for-customers/pages/overview/

Am I required to take Lateral Flow Test before attending each event?

The Scottish Government offers free lateral flow test kits to anyone in Scotland, for use if you are not displaying symptoms of Covid-19. These tests are aimed at finding cases that would otherwise go undetected, so anyone testing positive can self-isolate and avoid transmitting the virus to those around them. Lateral flow tests are recommended twice weekly for those who are asymptomatic, and Scottish Rugby strongly encourages you to take one of these tests either the day before or on match day. Further information on ordering and taking the tests can be found HERE.

Should I attend if I have Covid-19 symptoms?

Please do not attend if you have tested positive for Covid-19 in the 10 days prior to the match. Please do not attend if you have been asked to self-isolate by Test & Protect or another Contact Tracing agency as a result of being a close contact of someone who has tested positive for Covid-19, or if you feel generally unwell (with symptoms including but not limited to – fever, cough, change or loss of sense of taste / smell, sore throat, headache, runny nose, fatigue). If this happens, self-isolate and book a PCR test.

Am I required to wear a face mask at BT Murrayfield?

Wearing of face masks at all times whilst indoors is compulsory, unless you have a medical or other valid exemption (as set out in Scottish Government guidance). Scottish Rugby recommends you:

• wear a mask at all times – including outdoors – except when eating and drinking;
• do not remain in the indoor concourse areas for any longer than is necessary (i.e. being outdoors is better and safer);
• remain respectful to those around you, particularly in the seating area (e.g. face away from other persons as they pass).

Practice good hygiene

Hand sanitising stations will be located throughout the stadium and we encourage all spectators to practice good respiratory etiquette.

Can I get selfies/ autographs with players?

Unfortunately not, in order to maintain our players bubble they will not be able to meet fans after the game.

Access/egress will not be available during the road closure times and includes popular areas in Haymarket Yards, the Stanhope area, Wester Coates area, Balbirnie Place and parts of the Roseburn area.

Pedestrian Management

To ensure pedestrian safety and to minimise traffic disruption, pedestrian movement will be safely managed around the Haymarket area following the match.

Alternative routes back to the city centre are available via Magdala Crescent, Coates Gardens or Rosebery Crescent. Access into Haymarket Station will be managed across the tram tracks. Trams will still be running so please be patient and take advice from the stewards and Police who are there to ensure your safety.

Pedestrians heading along Russell Road will be directed to Dalry Road as an alternative route back to the City Centre. Please note that these diversions will not add any significant length onto your route and will have no effect to your journey times as delays to pedestrian movement will be reduced. All of these measures are introduced for your own safety and the safety of other road users. Further assistance and instruction will be given to those patrons travelling by rail as they near Haymarket Station.

What can I bring to the matches?

Bags, Rucksacks or suitcases

IMPORTANT – BT MURRAYFIELD BAG POLICY

Leave your bags at home. There is a ‘No Bag’ policy at these games and no bags will be allowed in the ground unless they are required for medical and childcare reasons. There will be no bag storage facilities at the stadium, so spectators are urged to only bring such limited and necessary possessions as they can keep on their person.

Can I wear a Sporran with my Kilt?

As Sporrans form part of our National Dress, you will be permitted to wear them to events at BT Murrayfield.

Due to their size and uniformity this allows a search to be taken very quickly and without any contact from our stewards directly.

Can I bring along my Bagpipes in their case?

Bagpipes are an integral part of creating the very unique atmosphere that BT Murrayfield is known for and will be permitted at events at BT Murrayfield.

All cases used in the transport of bagpipes will be searched before entry is gained.

How does the No Bag Policy impact Covid restrictions?

Scottish Rugby is committed to playing its part in ensuring our events are as safe as we can possibly make them and help to minimise the risk of infection. Our No Bag Policy will enhance our Covid preventions as it will help reduce the amount of time fans spend queuing to gain entry and avoid the need for any unrequired contact between fans and our stewards.

Due to our legal obligation to perform Covid Vaccination Status checks, our No Bag policy will also allow for less queuing times prior to and during our gates opening.

Why are staff/game day volunteers allowed bags?

This would not be a question we would publish online and would only be discussed from a CS perspective.

Do I need to bring my own Sanitary products?

Scottish Rugby will provide free sanitary products which will be available in the appropriate toilets, the Gatehouse, Reception and our Pram Storage facility.

As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and diversity, these free products will also be available in gender-neutral toilets being introduced to BT Murrayfield for the first time during our 2021 Autumn Series.

Are there any specific security risks I should be aware of?

Scottish Rugby takes the safety of our fans, staff, volunteers, players and venues extremely seriously and we continually review our security and risks to ensure that we can provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience. The implementation of our No Bag policy is an evolution of our continuing reviews and has not been put in place due to any specific incident or any current threat. While it is acknowledged this may cause some inconvenience, this socially responsible customer care offering is part of our commitment to delivering a safe and secure environment for all fans to enjoy peace of mind during their visit.

Can I still purchase a bag from the Scottish Rugby Store at BT Murrayfield on the day?

Yes – Bags purchased from our store are sold empty and do not require any additional searching and contact from our staff other than scanning during purchase. As such a purchase is made from within the stadium there is no impact on the queuing that would take place at the turnstiles and has no further transfer risk of any infections.
