Opening Times and What to Know

Getting to The Terrace at the Amex Stadium 

The Terrace is located within the American Express Stadium site in Falmer, just outside Brighton. The stadium is well connected by public transport, making it easy to reach whether you’re travelling from the city centre, nearby towns or further afield. 

Falmer railway station sits directly next to the stadium and is the most popular option for visitors arriving by train. Regular services run from Brighton and Lewes, and the short walk from the station brings you straight onto the stadium concourse, with clear signage directing you towards The Terrace. 

Bus services also run regularly to the stadium from across Brighton and surrounding areas, particularly on event days. If you’re planning ahead, checking local travel information before you set off can help avoid peak congestion around event start times. 

Parking and Park & Ride 

On matchdays, parking at the American Express Stadium is limited and must be booked in advance. For many visitors, Park & Ride is the easiest option, allowing you to park outside the immediate stadium area and travel the final leg by shuttle bus. 

If you’re driving, it’s worth planning your route and parking arrangements early, especially for high‑demand events. Motorcycle parking is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and designated accessible parking options are available for blue badge holders. 

On non-matchdays for conferences and events, parking is complimentary and can be pre-arranged with our events team.  

Arriving at The Terrace 

Once on site, The Terrace is clearly signposted around the stadium concourses. Entry operates on a first‑come basis for most events, and seating is limited, reflecting its design as a social, stand‑and‑move space rather than a traditional seated venue. 

Because The Terrace is designed to be part of the wider stadium flow, arriving early is recommended for popular events. This gives you time to find your bearings, explore the space and order food and drink before peak periods. 

Food, drink and payment 

The Terrace operates as a cashless venue. Food and drink can be ordered digitally via the Albion App or through on‑site ordering points, with collection once your order is ready. 

This approach is designed to keep queues moving and allow guests to spend more time enjoying the event itself. Payment by card or mobile device is accepted across the venue. 

Accessibility and inclusive access 

The Terrace has been designed with accessibility in mind. Step‑free access is available, and accessible toilet facilities are located nearby within the stadium. 

Disabled supporters can order food and drink directly at the counter at Melts, with items delivered to where they are seated. This helps reduce the need to queue and move repeatedly through busy areas during events. 

If you have specific access requirements, it’s worth checking the event details in advance or speaking to a member of staff on arrival, who will be happy to help. 

Planning tips for busy events 

• Arrive early for popular events to avoid peak entry times 
• Set up the Albion App before you arrive if you plan to order food and drink digitally 
• Agree a meeting point if you’re attending as a group, as the space can become busy quickly 
• Check event timings in advance so you know when entry opens and when things get underway 

With its central location, flexible layout and easy‑to‑use digital systems, The Terrace has been designed to make visiting the American Express Stadium straightforward and enjoyable. Whether you’re heading along for a headline event or building it into a wider stadium visit, a little planning goes a long way.
