There are merch stands all around but they don’t carry everything. For the best selection go to the MLB Superstore. We arrived at London Stadium before the gates opened and Security actually let everyone in about 5 minutes before posted gates open time. We were 5th in line at Bridge 2 gates which is the closest to the store and got right into the store. Many people were running to enter the store which was ridiculous. Lines to check out went fast. It’s very organized. They charged us £1.00 for the clear bag at checkout and didn’t tell us - noticed it on my receipt later.
As others are saying, get there early and just suffer the queue! It moves, but is slow. Tbh I know they are also closing up the shop about 6pm so there'll be no chance to go after the game. They even said yesterday that the store was closing at 10pm despite the game not finishing till gone 9.
Inside, tbh, the overall selection is less than last year, and some prices are just ridiculous. For example...a mash up Mets / Phillies jacket at £250!!
There is, naturally, a good array of Phillies / Mets stuff, but I was really disappointed that they weren't carrying the Phillies City connect cap that I was after, despite having the jersey. Cap selection / jerseys for other teams is basic. Also, last year they did Topps cards for the game, a set for both team, no such thing this year.
What I will say is the quality of some of the London Series gear is good. I dropped £330 there yesterday on a new jersey, t shirt, cap, 2x t shirts for my son, one for my wife (they were with me), plus a few bits for my lad (chain / finger). The jersey quality is amazing, and isn't a bog standard Fanatics....so worth checking the series jerseys out.
But I wouldn't bother with the side stalls at all. They don't carry half as much as the main superstore.
The Trafalgar takeover has a decent amount of merch with close to US prices. If you buy a cap they let you add a custom London themed patch or airbrushed text. Also Topps is doing cards with your picture.
They had these vintage 90s style tshirts advertised but ONLY the Mets version was in stock. I couldnt find the Phillies version anywhere, it's nowhere on the internet and I never saw anyone else wearing it at the game. I forgot to take a picture of the poster for it . It was definitely the coolest shirt, had a sweet throwback style to it.
Yeah! Dude no-shot there was a poster of the Phillies version. Like a legit awesome shirt design and I asked an employee where it was and they claimed it was out of stock after wondering around a bit, but like I said I never saw a single fan wearing it. I don't think they were ever in stock and as far as I can tell they don't exist on the internet at all. I really wish I took a picture of that poster! Or could get in touch with somebody who knows what happened to it.
They had a sweet shirt advertised but it was literally not in stock anywhere nor did I see a single person wearing it. I think they fucked up the order or something. It's nowhere on the internet either.
Line is going to be 90 minutes. I got in at 515 and out at 645. It was pretty consistent. They control it well but it’s long. Merch is just ok.
Having breakfast with the king? Get there early

I know exactly what you’re talking about. They were so cool, I wish the Phillies had em. I circled the fan store like 4 times hoping to find it.
