Lord's is the only international cricket venue in the world where spectators can bring alcohol into the ground.

For Vitality Blast matches, alcohol may only be brought into Lord's by MCC & Middlesex Members and their guests, as well as Debenture Holders and their guests.

For matches in The Hundred, ticket holders are not permitted to bring in any alcoholic drinks to the Ground (which is a variation to the MCC Ground Regulations). If you are an MCC Member or Debenture Holder you may still bring alcohol into the Ground but please enter via the Grace Gate.

For all other matches, spectator may bring alcoholic drinks into the Ground in one of the following descriptions and quantities:

(i) one bottle of wine or Champagne (max. 750ml); or (ii) two cans/bottles of beer/cider (max. 500ml each); or (iii) two cans of premixed aperitifs (max. 330ml each).

Bottles of spirits or fortified wines will not be allowed into the Ground. Amounts of alcohol in excess of these limits. Under no circumstances will any spectator be re-admitted to the Ground at any time during the day if he or she is in possession of any alcohol.

MCC reserves the right to confiscate any quantity of alcohol from any spectator.

We advise against bringing pushchairs along to the Ground on Test Match Days.

You will appreciate that the Ground gets very full indeed, and unfortunately we don’t have any dedicated space for pushchair storage.

However, for minor matches - including Middlesex's County Championship & Royal London Cup fixtures, there is sufficient space around the Ground to accommodate pushchairs.

A collection point no longer exists at Lord's, with electronic ticketing now available.

Please download the Lord's App to access your tickets in advance. 

Lord's has moved to Digital Tickets in an attempt to negate lost tickets. Please download your ticket via Lord's App in advance to ensure you have your match ticket when arriving at the Ground. 

A duplicate Ticket will only be issued to the original purchaser as a replacement for a Ticket that has been printed out, deleted irretrievably and then lost, stolen, mislaid or is defective or defaced. 

If the Ticket Office has to reprint a Ticket, an administrative charge of 10% of the face value will be made for each duplicate.

The latest ticket information can be obtained by visiting tickets.lords.org or by ringing the Ticket Office on 020 7432 1000, or the Members Dedicated Line shown in your Membership Pass.

In certain stands, discounted tickets are available for children under 16-years.

Babes-in-arms may be carried into Lord’s free of charge, so long as they will not occupy a seat themselves.

It is a requirement that a ticket is purchased for any child over three years of age.

A ticket can be upgraded, or downgraded, but that should preferably be done prior to the match.

It varies from stand to stand.

In the Mound Stand, rows with letters (A-E) and row 16 upwards are under cover.  Rows 1-15 aren’t.

In the Grand Stand, all of the rows with letters and row 11 upwards are covered. 

Members’ Friends’ Enclosures are normally unreserved seating, so it's best to turn up early for more choice.

Late Gate is subject to availability and will be advertised via @HomeOfCricket on X, and through the Lord's matchday blog (lords.org/live).

Please note that Late Gate tickets are available to purchase online only via the Lord’s tickets webpage.

The latest ticket information can be obtained by visiting tickets.lords.org or by ringing the Members Dedicated Line shown in their Membership Pass.

Rover tickets, for their guests, are only available to be purchased by the following:

• Full MCC Members on all major match days.
• MCC Senior and MCC Associate Members on selective major match days.
• Middlesex Members, who hold the appropriate membership level, for Vitality Blast matches.

Rover tickets admit to the unreserved sections of the Warner Stand, Tavern Stand and, in terms of International match days only, the Lower Tier of the Allen Stand.

In order to prevent overcrowding in individual stands, each member and Rover ticket holder may, on entry to a stand, be issued with a pass which must be presented, together with the Membership Pass or Rover Ticket, on any subsequent re-entry during the day.

Members may reserve seats in these stands prior to play, the precise number of seats (generally no more than four) will be determined on a match-by-match basis and advised to Members in pre-match communications. The Club accepts no responsibility for articles used for this purpose. Seats may also be reserved from 15 minutes before until 30 minutes after the luncheon interval, and during other brief absences not exceeding 10 minutes.

It is not practical to have stewards on hand in all areas throughout the stands, so Members are asked to observe the spirit of fair play.

If they are unreserved Rover Tickets, then your guests can come, however, if they are reserved seats, in the Members’ Friends’ Enclosures then they should be accompanied by you.

No refunds will be given, other than those covered under the appropriate refund schemes.
