Are any of the seats at the stadium undercover?
The West and East Stand have a roof structure however those sitting on the lower rows in the stands &/or depending on the wind direction may find that they are not undercover.
The North and South stands do not have a roof.
All spectators attending the event are advised to check the weather conditions before leaving home and dress appropriately including hats and sun cream should the sun shine!
Where is best to see what events?
One of the best things about coming to an athletics event is that you are never far away from the action, with multiple events happening at the same time and spread around the stadium there is always something to watch.
In the stadium every seat gives you an excellent view of the action.
If you love to watch the fastest athletes on the planet the best seats to choose are in the West Stand.
Want to watch the long and triple jumpers charging down the runway, then choose seats in the East Stand.
If the pole vault is more your thing, then the North Stand is for you whilst the South Stand offers the best view of the high jump.
For the throw events the North and South Stands offer the best viewpoint.
And of course, not leaving out the endurance races where any seat in the stadium is great to cheer on the athletes as they complete laps of the track.
Please note field event locations are subject to change depending on the wind direction on the day.
When will I receive my tickets?
All tickets will be emailed to you as a PDF attachment approximately two weeks before the event.
You will need to print out your tickets on plain white A4 paper, ensuring each ticket is on one piece of paper and the barcode is easy to read with no smudging or bleeding. If the barcode is not clear it will stop the ticket from scanning on entry.
I do not have access to a printer, how do I get my ticket?
If you have a friend or relative with a printer, please ask them to print your tickets for you.
Alternatively, open the PDF containing the ticket on your phone and zoom into the barcode area. Present this zoomed in barcode to the steward with the scanner at the access gate and this should scan allowing you access to the event.
Can I resell tickets if I can no longer attend the event?
If you can no longer attend the event, you can pass your tickets on to friends and family.
Alternatively, you can list your tickets on the official fan to fan resale platform, Twickets
What time will the event take place?
The event is expected to run between approximately 11:30 – 16:20 on Saturday.
Please note all timings are subject to change.
How should I travel to the Stadium?

More information can be found on our travel page here.
Is parking available at the Stadium?
There is no spectator car parking at the stadium. As this is a test event for the Commonwealth Games we are working with Transport for West Midlands and the Commonwealth Games team to implement a transport plan for this event. More information can be found on our travel page.

How has the stadium changed since my last visit?
The Alexander Stadium has undergone a full redevelopment which started in 2019 for the Commonwealth Games later this summer. Only the Backstraight Stand, now East Stand, remains from the previous stadium.
Please note that entrances and field event locations will have changed since your last visit so please check carefully when booking your tickets and arrive with plenty of time.
What does it mean by ‘Test Event’?
To gain a license for a new stadium, test events have to take place to test and check various components of the redevelopment and changes that have been made.
The Müller Birmingham Diamond League is a test event for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. This means that you will be one of the first people inside the new stadium but it could also mean that some areas may be unfinished and some things may not go to plan!
We need your help in testing all aspects of the day but please bear with us as we all get to know the new stadium.
What security measures will be in place and what can I bring into the stadium?
All spectators will undergo a bag check and body wand check before entering the stadium. Please arrive in plenty of time to get through these security and ticket checks.
You are able to bring one small bag into the stadium no larger than 50cm x 30cm x 20 cm and up to 25 litre capacity. This bag must be capable of fitting under a seat and must accommodate all possessions except your coat or outer clothing.
For more information on what you can bring into the stadium including our camera policy please visit our venue guide.
Will food and drink facilities be available inside the stadium?
Food and drink kiosks will be available at the event.
A small amount of cold food for personal consumption can be brought into the venue. Sealed plastic bottles of water or juice under 500ml are permitted but no glass bottles, cans, flasks or picnic hampers are allowed.
Strictly no alcohol is permitted to be brought into the stadium.
