Travelling supporter information | Brighton vs Wolves

Wolves are heading back on the road on Wednesday evening Bruno Lage’s squad travel to the south-east for a Premier League visit to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Around 3,000 supporters will be heading the Amex for the 7.30pm kick-off, which is live on BT Sport for those fans not making the trip to catch the action.

But for supporters who are heading to East Sussex, here’s a collection of information which will be useful for before making the trip.

Covid safety information

If you are feeling unwell with Covid-19 symptoms or any cold or flu-type symptoms, please do not attend the game.

With the implementation of the Government’s ‘Plan B’, Covid-19 status certification checks WILL be in place for Wednesday’s fixture and Wolves’ visiting fans are asked to cooperate with the Brighton staff who will spot check supporters in order to present evidence of vaccination status, evidence of a negative Covid-19 test or exemption and produce photo ID before entering the Amex.

Proof of vaccination or a negative test along with valid photo ID is a condition of entry for this fixture, and failure to comply if spot checked will mean access to the stadium will not be granted and tickets will be blocked.

In addition to this, all supporters with a ticket for the game will be emailed a self-declaration link which they MUST complete ahead of the game.

If you have not received a self-declaration email, you can complete the form by clicking here.
