Be here in good time

Many fans are expected for this concert and because Friends Arena and the event owner demand a high level of security entry to the Arena can take longer than expected. For this reason you should be here in good time. Do not bring a backpack or a handbag with you. Handbags and backpacks larger than 40x40x20 cm (height, width, depth) can not be brought into the arena.

Please have your ticket ready for scanning.

Cashless
To make your visit safer, more convenient and easier, the Arena is a cash-free zone. Bring your bank or credit card only as only these payment methods are accepted.

Take the metro

Rail maintenance work is affecting all intercity and regional rail services and there are a limited number of public transport options. SL (provider of public transport in Stockholm) therefore strongly recommends:

• If you are traveling to the south of the city take the metro from Solna Centrum which is within walking distance of the Arena. Staff will be available to help you and there will be information signs. Extra metro trains will be put on and the last metro train departing Solna Centrum will be at 00.38.
• If you opt to take the commuter train walk to the south entrance of Solna station, to avoid queuing and to fill up the trains. If you are traveling further than Stockholm City the last commuter train, with connections to final destinations, departs at 00.40. The last commuter train departs at 01.10 and stops only at Stockholm City.
• If you are traveling north of the city towards Märsta/Uppsala by commuter train, walk to Ulriksdal station. If you walk to Solna station you run the risk of not being able to catch a train to these destinations.

Please follow the instructions given by our staff and we can all get home as smoothly as possible.

The rail maintenance work also limits the possibility of putting on extra trains daytime so we advise you to take the metro to the Arena. Take the blue line number 11 metro and get off at Solna centrum station; the journey takes approx. 10 minutes from Stockholm City. The distance from Solna Centrum to the Arena is approx. 1.7km.

Cloakroom

You can deposit larger bags and other items you are not allowed to bring into the Arena in our cloakroom. It is open 14.30-00.00 and costs 50 SEK (card and Swish payments only).

Assistance

We try to make everyone’s visit to the Arena a happy and memorable one. If you have any questions or encounter any problems please speak to one of our staff, or contact our Guest Service at sections 140 and 340 if you require assistance.
