Wheelchair users and attendants have an acceptable entry gate at the South Stand.

Prices

Entry is £22 for adults and £12 for concessions (concessions may be asked for proof of identity to confirm eligibility).

Travel

Travel by Road: Roadworks at the Baillieston to Newhouse M8/A8 improvement upgrade have the potential to add time to journeys to and from Edinburgh.

In addition, all travelling supporters are reminded that this is the final weekend of the Edinburgh Festival and the last performances of the Military Tattoo.

This period has traditionally seen the highest attendance, and routes into Edinburgh are expected to be carrying higher than average traffic volumes.

Edinburgh City Council have also introduced new 20mph speed limits throughout the city and several around the Easter Road and Leith area in particular. Cameras are in use for the new speed limits.

Parking

Bus parking has been identified in London Road, from where it is a short walk to the stadium.

Car parking is available on streets outwith any restricted areas. Please check signs and cones.

Edinburgh parking attendants are known for issuing tickets and this area is well patrolled on match days
