We know how much demand there is for tickets, and we genuinely appreciate that so many of you want to spend match day with us at The Drill. ❤️

Unfortunately, we can’t fit everyone in. We’ve worked hard to make ticket allocation as fair as possible while keeping everyone’s safety as our top priority.

Please remember that aggressive, abusive or demanding behaviour towards our team will not get anyone a ticket. In fact, it will simply make you unwelcome.

Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first visit, everyone is treated equally. We know not everyone will be happy with the outcome, but we’re doing our very best with the limited space we have.

Thank you to everyone who has been patient, understanding and supportive. We can’t wait to create another incredible atmosphere with you all. 🍻⚽

Important Update – Please Read ❤️

Firstly, we’d like to say sorry to everyone who has supported us throughout this World Cup campaign and has unfortunately not made the cut for a ticket to the semi-final.

We know this decision will disappoint some people, especially those who have been with us every step of the way. After listening to your feedback, we’ve had to re-evaluate our plans.

In the interest of fairness and, most importantly, everyone’s safety, there will now be no admission on the door and no additional 50 spaces available.

If you don’t have a physical ticket, the only way to attend is by being on our guest list. If you’re on the guest list, you’ll already know.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but with demand far exceeding our capacity, we have to ensure the event remains safe and enjoyable for everyone attending.

Thank you for your understanding, your incredible support, and for helping make The Drill the place to be throughout the tournament. We genuinely appreciate every single one of you, whether you’re with us on Wednesday or cheering England on from elsewhere.

Safety comes first. Fairness matters. Thank you for understanding. ❤️⚽🏆

9 Years. One Incredible Journey. ❤️

Nine years ago, we took a chance on The Drill, and what a journey it’s been.

From packed-out football nights and unforgettable charity events, to Sunday roasts, live music, laughs behind the bar, and friendships that have become family – every memory has been made possible because of you.

To every customer who has walked through our doors, every member of staff past and present, every supplier, every musician, every sports fan, and everyone who’s supported us over the years… thank you.

The Drill isn’t just a pub – it’s a community, and we’re incredibly proud to have shared the last nine years with all of you.

Here’s to the memories we’ve made, the friendships we’ve built, and many more years of making The Drill the place to be.

From the bottom of our hearts…

Thank you for an amazing 9 years. 🖤🍻
