Important safety and travel advice
We urge all LFC supporters to follow the below advice when traveling to Amsterdam for the Champions League tie with AFC Ajax on Wednesday October 26.
- Kick-off is at 9pm CET (8pm BST). Turnstiles will open at 7pm CET (two hours before kick-off). Amsterdam is one hour ahead of the UK (BST +1).
- Fans are asked to arrive at the stadium early, allowing sufficient time for ticket checks and body searches.
- Supporters should use public transport to get to the stadium. The fastest way to the stadium is by taking Metro Line 54, which will take you to Strandvliet-ArenA for the stadium.
- Please be advised that the Amsterdam public transport service (GVB) no longer accepts cash when buying tickets on trams, buses or metro trains in Amsterdam.
- Bag policy – bags larger than A4 will not be allowed. There are no bag deposits available. Maximum dimensions are 20cm (h) x 30cm (w) x 10 cm (d).
- Flags are welcomed in the stadium. If your flag/banner is bigger than 1m x 1m, it will need to have proof of fire-retardant material, and this will need to be shown prior to entering the stadium.
- Fans should be aware of pickpocketing around the stadium and in the centre of Amsterdam.
- LFC fans should meet in Dam square. The nearest metro station is Centraal Station. All fans should avoid the pubs Monico, Hof van Holland and surrounding bars at Rembrandtplein as they will be occupied by Ajax fans.
- Police will escort all fans at 4pm CET to a dedicated away supporter special train that will allow supporters access to the stadium.
