The lack of a pass out system (as per previous events) is a real concern, particularly given the 80 min+ gaps between games on Saturday. I may have to re-think my strategy now as I intended arriving to watch all 3 games, but I'm buggered if I'm getting stuck in there for 8 hours paying a fortune for beer & food.

that looks more like the generic stadium rules than the specific rules for the MM event.

If true the lack of pass out options is a joke, as is the no alcohol in the stands rule.

I was gonna watch the first and last games on Saturday. Won't be happening now I know there's no pass out system. Very poor organisation. Most games will have the same or fewer people watching as if they'd been played at a SL ground.

I asked the question specifically for the Magic Weekend so I would hope they have replied accordingly.

You are allowed alcohol in your seat and there will be a pass out system in place. Seems you did get the generic response.

Source?

There is a guide on the bulls website which says there is a pass out system (get stamped on hand). I am doing this on my phone so can't post a link but was fairly easy to find.

I hope that's the generic response. I'm a serious crossfitter on a paleo diet, I dont eat any of the e they serve at stadiums. Might jibb it off, im not sitting there all day with no food and no escape.

Another attempt by RL fans to jeopardise this event before getting a real grasp of the facts. Pretty sad really.

not being able to bring your own food in if you had a specific medical reason could be construed as breaking the disability discrimination act.
I've brought this up with several organisations including sports stadia and as they are not able to provide specific requirements one can bring food in.
The only place I was ever stopped was at Cardfiff for the 05 CC final and after a minor grumble they let us through.

Just doing a quick google streetmap tour of the Etihad and there's a few chippy's, shops and a huge Asda Supercentre within walking distance of the ground.
