MULLER ANNIVERSARY GAMES // FAQ AND INFO GUIDE

After welcoming track and field back to London Stadium last weekend with the inaugural Athletics World Cup, the venue will this weekend play host to the Muller Anniversary Games, a traditional highlight in the domestic athletics calendar.

In an event which brings together some of the finest athletic talent from across the world, we will also bid farewell to Greg Rutherford, who announced that he will be jumping for the last time at this Diamond League meeting.

If you have a ticket for the event this weekend, we've put together an info guide and brief FAQs to help you make the most of your trip to London Stadium.

 

What are the key timings for the Anniversary Games?

 

LEAVING LONDON STADIUM

London Stadium provides designated walking routes to Stratford Station to support the safe journey home of all fans who attend events at the venue.

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a large, open public area and walking routes are implemented to ensure guests reach public transport hubs as quickly and safely as possible.

It is expected that fans will reach Stratford station within approximately 45 minutes from leaving London Stadium. To ease congestion into Stratford station, stop and go signs may be in operation on all routes, with stewards at hand to offer advice and to direct guests to their desired transport hub.

The safety of all guests visiting London Stadium is of paramount importance. Please assist our stewarding teams in this operation to ensure your journey home is as smooth as possible.

 

When is the box office open, and can I buy tickets on the day?

The London Stadium ticket office is open from 10:00 - 18:00 each day, with any remaining tickets on sale in person at this time. Tickets are also available online (with a print at home delivery option) here: https://www.britishathletics.org.uk/events-and-tickets/muller-anniversar...

 

Can I collect my tickets?

All our tickets are fulfilled in advance of the event, but in the rare instance in which ticket collection may be required, please visit the London Stadium ticket office on the event day for which your tickets have been bought.

 

Can I bring a camera?

We understand that amateur photography is part of the enjoyment when attending live athletics. We know we have the world’s most passionate and knowledgeable spectators, and as such we want them to be able to take home as many memories of top class athletics as possible

Cameras (and accompanying camera bags no bigger than 30cm x 20cm) with a maximum lens length of six inches are permitted – if you have a lens length that extends beyond six inches we politely request that you keep to this length as a maximum so to not block the view of those next to or behind you in the stadium. Failure to do so will result in potential ejection from the event.

Professional camera equipment such as tripods can only be used by accredited photographers and are not permitted in spectator areas.

Binoculars and accompanying carry cases are permitted.

 

I am an accessible customer arriving at the venue using public transport, what's the best way of getting to London Stadium?

London Stadium is a venue for all, and boasts a range of accessible features to ensure your event day experience is as enjoyable as possible. 

We have an accessible team operating at the venue for all events, as well as a dedicated accessible shuttle bus service operating from Platform 13 at Stratford Station, and dropping off at Bridge three at London Stadium. The first bus will depart from Stratford Station at 10am, and the final service will return from Bridge an hour after the conclusion of the event.

Keep an eye out for our accessibility team (dressed in Pink), who will be on hand at all areas of your journey and inside London Stadium and more than happy to help throughout the day.
