MOBILE TICKETING IN OPERATION
After thousands of supporters benefitted from Mobile Ticketing for the first time last season, thousands have again chosen Mobile Tickets (NFC) as their preferred method of entry into King Power Stadium.
Mobile Tickets are commonplace in most major venues in the country, using a ‘Near Field Communication’ system designed to provide a more convenient, environmentally friendly, and secure way for supporters to access King Power Stadium.
To help support the transition to mobile ticketing, a host of information and guides are available for supporters using it for the first time, so to read our FAQs on Mobile Tickets, click HERE and for guidance on how to use Mobile Tickets, click HERE.
SINGING SECTION RETURNS
Following its trial introduction last season and a series of pilots, 2023/24 will see the trial for the Singing Section continue at King Power Stadium in SK1.
The section was introduced at the request of supporters, with the aim of giving like-minded fans an opportunity to gather together in a defined area of the stadium to provide coordinated vocal backing for the team.
Match attending supporters were surveyed for their feedback on the trial in March, with the results leading to the extension of the trial into the new campaign. For information of the survey results, please click HERE.
CLAP BANNERS & HONESTY FLAGS
Supporters will notice that clap banners will no longer be placed on seats for the 2023/24 season but will still be available in the concourse to collect after going through the turnstiles for those who wish to use them.
Honesty Flags will also again be available inside the stadium bowl for supporters to use during the match, with the Club kindly asking for their return upon each supporter’s exit from the stadium at full-time.
Also, don’t forget to keep an eye out for t-shirt cannons at half-time for a chance to get your hands on a special LCFC t-shirt to remember your matchday by!
FAN BEHAVIOUR
Leicester City is dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all individuals associated with our Football Club and is once again joining with football’s leading stakeholders to address rising incidents of discrimination in the game.
As the start of the 2023/24 season approaches, the Football Club wishes to reinforce the importance of behavioural expectations and remind individuals of the introduction of stronger consequences for any form of anti-social behaviour.
Supporters are advised that not only will anti-social behaviour such as offensive chanting lead to sanctions from the Club, but it may also amount to a criminal offence and lead to further, more serious consequences for individuals involved.
REPORTING PROCEDURES REMINDER
