Deliveries and main reception

There are no deliveries permitted through the stadium’s main reception entrance pre-event,
post-event or on the day of the event itself – these must be made via the underground
roadway which can be accessed from the west of the stadium off of Carmunock Road –
please see map below.

The roadway is open between the hours of 8am and 6pm - there is no access out with these
times unless prior notice has been given and arrangements made with your Event
Coordinator.

Please ensure that any and all deliveries are marked for the attention of your Event
Coordinator and also feature the date and title of your event. They should then be address
to:

Sodexo Sales Office, Hampden Park, Letherby Drive, Glasgow, G42 9BA

The only items permitted into the venue through main reception on an event day are those
which can be carried safely by 1 person (i.e. a small pop-up stand, individual boxes, etc. –
these materials must be transported into suites via the 2 guests lifts located behind the main
reception desk - this is for Stadium Health & Safety Regulations and is non-negotiable. This
also applies to any hot beverages as again this contravenes Stadium policy.

There are 2 service lifts located in the underground roadway – one to service each side of
the South Stand, the dimensions of which are

you require any materials to be stored within the venue prior notification and permission
