In order for the most people to enjoy the Champions League final with us, we ask our supporters to carefully read the following:
Dillon’s will reach capacity well before kick-off.
REMINDER: RSVPs are for head-counting purposes only. RSVPs aren’t reservations of any kind and do not guarantee entry.
For those on the list, early entry is only available from 9.30a to 10a. Once general entry begins at 10a, any latecomers will not be able to skip the queue.
Doors open for general entry at Dillon’s at 10a. Supporters are strongly advised to arrive earlier. Please prepare yourselves for an extended period of time in inclement weather. Those attending with others are advised to sort your groups before entry.
To better accommodate the crowd, D16 (the basement bar at Dillon’s) will be open. A.T. O'Keefe's (911 Boylston) will again serve as our overflow location. Doors at O’Keefe’s open at approximately 10.45a.
As always, seating downstairs at Dillon’s is first-come, first-served. Upstairs and patio seating must be arranged through the host stand. Seat-saving is prohibited for this match.
The first 300 supporters will receive a commemorative PL Champions tote bag. All supporters will receive a memento of the day.
All supporters will be subject to an ID check prior to entry. Per Massachusetts law, the following are the only acceptable forms of ID to purchase alcohol: US driver’s license (state-issued); Canadian driver’s license (province-issued); Massachusetts Liquor ID; (US or Foreign) Passport valid for travel in the US; US Military ID. No other forms of ID will be accepted under any circumstances, including foreign driver’s licenses, employment verification cards, visas, and US Permanent Resident (“Green”) cards. Anyone without an acceptable ID will be allowed into Dillon’s, but will not be able to purchase alcohol. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Opposition supporters are categorically not welcome. Among the obvious reasons, capacity is reduced for deserving Gooners. They can watch literally anywhere else.
Please be very patient if planning to order food at Dillon’s. Staff won't have much room to maneuver.
As ever, we’re not trying to scare anyone off from coming. Quite the opposite: we want to ensure everyone wanting to watch the match can, whether with us at Dillon’s or not.
BG and Dillon’s apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.



This was a nice read because it stayed simple and didn’t make me feel like I had to slow down and decode anything. The way it drops quick, everyday examples helped a lot, and I liked that it explained the reasoning instead of just tossing out tips. Halfway through I ended up clicking around newimage.io since it feels like the same kind of straightforward, “here’s what actually matters” vibe. Nothing felt padded out, and the pacing was easy to keep up with even when I was skimming. I also appreciated how the page doesn’t dump giant walls of text at you—everything’s broken up in a way that’s easy on the eyes. The short paragraphs and clear headings make the whole…
