A visit to Amex Stadium can be about more than just watching football.

Modern facilities, strong accessibility standards and one of the Premier League’s better food and drink offerings all combine to create an enjoyable matchday experience on the south coast.

Whether you're visiting as a Brighton supporter, travelling with the away fans, or bringing the family along, FootballGroundGuide covers everything you need to know about facilities inside the Amex Stadium in 2026.

Amex Stadium Turnstiles, Entry and Security Access

The Amex Stadium has multiple turnstile blocks positioned around all four stands, with every entrance clearly marked by stand and block number.

Supporters enter using digital or print-at-home tickets, which are scanned at automated turnstiles. Stewards are positioned throughout the stadium approaches and entrances to assist with directions and ticket queries.

Security procedures typically include:

  • Bag checks at all turnstiles
  • A4-sized bags recommended
  • Restrictions on bottles, cans, flares and large flags
  • Professional camera equipment restrictions
  • Random wanding depending on fixture requirements

Turnstiles generally open around 90 minutes before kick-off, although earlier access may be introduced for high-profile fixtures.

Because of the stadium’s location beside Falmer Station, approaches to the ground can become particularly busy before matches, so arriving early is strongly advised.

Food and Drink at the Amex Stadium: Options, Quality and Prices

The Amex is regularly regarded as one of the stronger stadiums in the Premier League for food quality, with a noticeable emphasis on local suppliers and broader menu choices.

The designated Family Area is located within the East Stand and provides a more relaxed environment for younger supporters.

Family features include:

The North Stand Lower currently generates much of Brighton's atmosphere and has been identified for safe-standing developments.

Licensed rail seating is scheduled to be introduced in the lower rows of the North Stand ahead of the 2026/27 season following strong support from supporters.

The introduction of rail seating will allow fans to stand safely while maintaining modern safety standards.

Parents with younger children should note that these areas can become particularly lively and crowded on matchdays.
