For obvious reasons, stadiums have pretty strict rules around bags and what you can have in them. Some stuff is common sense – best to leave your explosives and sharp objects at home – but what you might not know is that there is a specific size of bag you have stay within, sort of like boarding a plane except you won't get charged £80 if it's oversized, you'll just get turned away.

Backpacks will likely be oversized. Instead, the venue recommends a clear carrier bag, a drawstring bag, or a laptop sleeve. On their website, Spurs do recommend their own club branded bags, but other brands are permitted too. You will also be allowed small clutches or handbags. The stadium states that 'all permissible bags will be carefully searched… those choosing to bring a bag to the stadium, which meets the above criteria, should be aware that they will be delayed whilst their bag is searched by our security team'. What size bag can I bring into the stadium? A4, the maximum size of bag you can bring to the concert, is 21cm long and 30cm high. Your bag has to be this size without being folded, and any bags which do not adhere to policy can be confiscated and not returned.
