Third-Party Events

While Wembley Stadium is owned by The Football Association, not all events are FA events (e.g., Carabao Cup Final, Play-Off Finals, concerts, non-football sports).


Event owners may have their own prohibited items policies, which override this list. These will be communicated directly to ticket holders for non-FA events.
