Blackburn Rovers have taken two points from their opening three games after several changes in personnel over the summer, including the departure of last season’s top goalscorer Rudy Gestede.
Ticket Office
The club's supporter services team are urging all supporters to arrive early at the stadium, with a high number of collections for matchday tickets.

Please bring your new season ticket card if you have received one. If you have not received a new card your old one will be active and you will require this to access the stadium.
Travel Update
We would like to make fans that utilise the club’s park & ride facility aware that park & ride 2 (formerly University of Brighton park & ride), has ongoing building work at the Cockcroft site, therefore we advise fans to arrive earlier than usual.
*
All other P&R car parks are operating a normal service.
*
Please also note than Coombe Road, close to the park & ride 2 site, is currently closed for essential road works.
*
Details of the location of our park & ride sites can be found in our travel guide.

The bandstand will host local artist Jacko Hooper who will be performing at ‘Together the People’ festival in Preston Park on the 5th and 6th of September.
The club will also have volunteers outside the stadium collecting any unwanted sun hats or baseball caps. Fans are asked to donate an old hat in return for a voucher for £5 off a new cap from the Seagulls Superstore (valid this Saturday). The donated hats will then be distributed to the city's homeless population as part of Albion in the Community’s skin cancer campaign.
Stadium Superstore

The Stadium Superstore will be open until kick-off with stock of the club’s latest 2015/16 change kits, home shirts as well as the new training kit range.
