The Club Store and Ticket Office open from 10am. Season tickets remain on sale until Thursday and are described as the cheapest way to watch matches at the stadium.

The Barrel Yard by BXD opens from 12:30pm and will feature live music from DJ Rose Melba. Anoki will operate as the guest caterer. The Family Zone also opens at 12:30pm, offering young supporters the chance to have a kickabout and meet mascot Billy Brewer.
Away supporters have a dedicated fan area in the Russell Roof Tiles stand. The away turnstiles open at 1:30pm, while home turnstiles open at 2pm. All home areas remain open from 2pm until 2:45pm, when the Barrel Yard by BXD closes ahead of kick-off.
Merchandise and Matchday Programme
All three of Burton Albion's kits will be available from the Club Store from Friday onwards. The matchday programme, 'Amber Albion', costs £3 and can be purchased from the Club Store, the Barrel Yard by BXD, and various bars throughout the stadium. Like all stadium purchases, the programme is cashless only.
