How do I receive my match tickets?

All Scotland match tickets are delivered via the Scottish Rugby Ticketing App as part of our ongoing drive to improve access, security and sustainability on Scotland matchdays. Your Scottish Rugby ticketing account, through which you purchased your tickets, will link your tickets to the App using the mobile number registered to your ticketing account. Your match tickets will then be sent to the app on your device, to be scanned at the turnstiles at Scottish Gas Murrayfield for entry into the stadium.

We encourage all ticket purchasers to download the app as soon as possible. Tickets for both matches have now been issued, if you have not received your tickets to your app, please check that the mobile number on your ticketing account is correct and up to date. If you have any issues, please contact the Customer Services team by emailing [email protected].

I’ve lost my ticket(s)/passes or they haven’t arrived, can you reprint them?

If you have not received your mobile tickets on your app, by 4 working days before the match, please contact us by email on [email protected] or by replying to your confirmation email.

Please contact the Customer Services team prior to the day of the game on 0131 378 1600 (opening hours see above) with your ticket details and a member of staff will be happy to help.

Whilst upgrades can be processed on match-days if plans change last minute, we strongly advise supporters to do this as far in advance to avoid delays. Tickets can only be upgraded on the day of the match by the ticket purchaser.

I have a season pass – how do I enter the stadium?

All Season Passes are issued digitally via the Scottish Rugby Ticketing App. These will be scanned on entry.

I don’t have a ticket; can I get one outside the stadium on the day?

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

Scottish Gas Murrayfield offers two parenting rooms – the first is 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. A second parenting room is in the West Fan Village, beside Hive Stadium.

There is one dedicated buggy drop off point within the stadium. This is next to the South Tunnel. Please speak with your nearest steward to be directed.

My mobility has been affected since I bought my ticket. What if I’m physically unable to get to my seat?

If there is any change in your circumstances, please contact the Customer Services team as soon as you can and we will try to find a more suitable seat for your circumstances where possible, subject to availability.

What do I do if I find someone sitting in my seat with the same ticket, or if there’s a problem with my seat?

IMPORTANT – SCOTTISH GAS MURRAYFIELD BAG POLICY

Can I bring a bag?

Supporters are urged where possible not to bring bags to the stadium. In any case, bags larger than A4 size (21cm x 30cm) will not be permitted unless required for medical or childcare reasons.

Anyone bringing a bag larger than A4 for medical or childcare reasons should go to a designated turnstile where bags will be searched and tagged prior to entry into the stadium. Please be aware that access via this route to the stadium may take slightly longer than through other turnstiles.

All bags will be searched.

No bag drop facilities will be provided at the stadium. Locations around the city can be found here.

Storage facility in Edinburgh

Can I bring along my Bagpipes in their case?

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

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

Please note: Busking for money is not permitted within the Stadium grounds.

Water bottles & flasks

Empty water bottles & flasks are permitted into the stadium (any contents will be poured out prior to entry). These can be refilled from the water fountains within the stadium concourses.

Food

You may bring small amounts of food into the stadium for medical or childcare reasons, or for your own use.

Soft drinks & juices

In line with other major venues, only sealed plastic bottles of water or soft drinks up to 500ml can be brought into the stadium. No cans will be permitted.

Air horns

Only mechanised air horns (blow-through or wind-up) are allowed inside the stadium. Pressurised containers are not permitted.

Cameras

Small amateur cameras are permitted, but large professional cameras are not. By small, we mean pocket-size digital cameras or SLR cameras with zoom lenses no more powerful than 300mm. Tripods are not permitted.

Flags

Yes! The more Scotland flags brought to the stadium the better – just make sure the sticks are no more that 1m tall and there’s no ‘pointy bit’ on the end.

Road Closures & Restrictions  

There are a number of temporary traffic restrictions in place on nearby streets on matchday. Visit the Edinburgh Council website for full details of traffic and parking restrictions. Supporters attending any of the fixtures using any nearby on-street parking are advised to check the timings of the road closures as you may be parked within an area that is affected by the various post-match closures. Vehicle movement will not be permitted 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.

The nearest areas to drop passengers off for the stadium pre-match are located on both sides of Corstorphine Road near to Murrayfield Ave, Russell Road (which must be accessed from Gorgie) and on both sides of Westfield Road adjacent to/opposite Sainsbury’s supermarket, these will be indicated with signage. Please note that pedestrians are prohibited from using the West Approach Road so MUST NOT be dropped off on this road. Please also DO NOT attempt to drop off at either end of Roseburn Street once this is closed for crowd safety (approx. 2 hrs prior to kick off).

Please note that there are new rules in Edinburgh City Council which ban pavement parking.

Pedestrian Management

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

Those heading back into the city centre or Haymarket Station may experience delays due to the pavement width available for the number of supporters heading along this corridor. 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.

Please note that there will be NO route back to the city centre/Haymarket Station via Balbirnie Place/Haymarket Yards. 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.

It is imperative you allow plenty of extra time for your journey to the game. There are plenty of activities to enjoy at Scottish Gas Murrayfield before the match, with lots of food and drink options available.
