DIGITAL TICKETS

Like season tickets, matchday tickets can be accessed via the Swans Official app. 

To use the in-app ticketing service, supporters should check their app is up to date and that they are running the latest version to ensure the correct tickets are pulling through. This may involve visiting your relevant app store.

Eligible supporters can access the ‘Jacks’ tab of the Swans app and click ‘view your matchday ticket’. This may prompt users to log in with their Swans Club Account, before displaying their ticket(s).

Swansea City would like to remind supporters who wish to use this service that it is the responsibility of ticket holders to check that their in-app ticket is visible before they travel to the Swansea.com Stadium.

MATCHDAY

MEL NURSE BAR

To honour one of the most important figures in the club’s history, the club – with support from the Former Players’ Association and Supporters’ Trust - has re-furbished and re-named the 'Riverside Lounge' as the 'Mel Nurse Bar' in the Swansea.com Stadium’s East Stand.

The 'Mel Nurse Bar' will formally open its doors at 1pm. It is open to all home supporters, but you will need to show a match ticket or season ticket in order to gain access. 

The bar will also remain open post-match, we hope to see you there!

REUSABLE CUPS

At the end of the 2023-24 season, the club introduced reusable cups to its concourses, with the aim of becoming more sustainable. This initiative will continue for the 2024-25 season and we encourage supporters to return their cups to designated collection points when they have finished their drink.
