With over 40,000 fans expected, the ticket office and turnstiles will be extremely busy and the club urges all those attending the game to take into account the significantly higher numbers of people who will be collecting tickets and accessing the stadium, when planning their journey.
The ticket office will be open from 10am on the day for both collections and ticket sales.
Stadium turnstiles will open at 1.30pm and supporters should leave additional time to enter the stadium, due to the higher attendance. Queues are anticipated at the turnstiles from 2.30pm onwards.
