Streamline Your Parking: Go Cashless

We expect heavy traffic. To ensure a swift and frictionless departure after the final whistle, drivers must pre-pay for parking. All our car parks operate a strictly cashless ANPR system. The £8.00 parking fee is payable via the secure online portal, parkgood2go.com or the PayByPhone app. The PayByPhone app is the simplest solution; you register your number plate and pay anytime until midnight on Saturday, eliminating the need to queue at payment terminals post-match. Supporters with disabled permits should use the 120 allocated bays in the top section of Car Park C, accessed via the lower concourse.

The Final Whistle and Beyond: Post-Match Entertainment 

The atmosphere continues after the game. The Leasing Options Fan Zone remains open for an hour after the final whistle, closing at 6pm.

For a premium atmosphere, the Lion of Vienna Suite provides post-match entertainment. It hosts a Happy Hour and LIVE music following Saturday fixtures.

Season Ticket Holders receive a 10% discount on all food purchases at the Bolton Stadium Hotel. After the game we’ll have singer Craig Benyon entertaining guests. Access to the hotel is for home fans only; please show your match ticket on entry.

Finally, a reminder: the club maintains strict enforcement of EFL Regulation 16, which prohibits the use of electronic cigarettes or vaping devices inside the stadium concourses and seating areas.

We thank you for supporting the Wanderers passionately and safely.

Enjoy The Game!
