RED DAY EVENTS @ LFC Toronto Pubs

Throughout the year, several matches are designed as “Red Day Events.” These are often high-interest matches that we know will draw a beyond-capacity crowd, such as Derbies, Cup semi-finals or finals, matches against key rivals, etc.

Please note that for any of our games, reservations are not taken. Also, fees or membership are NOT required to come to watch these games – all our games will always be available to anyone who wishes to come down to the pub(s). However, for Red Day Events, our Premium Members receive an Early Access benefit as outlined below.

Members and non-members, please read the full description of our Red Day entry policy before coming to our matches.

  • “Member First Access” is a benefit awarded to Premium Members for Red Day – designated matches. These members get to enter the pub 1.5 hours ahead of kick off. If space permits, General Members and the general public may enter the pub (typically) 30 minutes prior to kick off.
  • IMPORTANT: Always check our Events Page and social media posts a few days ahead of the match for specifics before the game. Depending on the time of year, the game, or other factors beyond our control, these times and rules may change. We will always update the Events page with up to date information.
  • Please note that for many of these matches, a queue forms outside the pub in advance of the stated opening time. Sometimes the queue begins to form hours in advance of opening, other times it’s only 20 minutes ahead; we never know and cannot answer inquires about “what time to queue” before a game.
  • IMPORTANT: Entry is NOT guaranteed irrespective of your membership status. We open the doors at the prescribed time for Premium Members and then General Members/the public, and it’s always first-come, first-served from there.
  • Please read our Code of Conduct before attending any event. These rules are strictly enforced.

FOR ELEPHANT & CASTLE

  • Due to the popularity of these games, at Elephant & Castle, there are two queues ahead of Red Day matches. When facing the pub, a queue for General Members will be to the left of the main King St. Door. The queue for Premium Members will be to the right of the King St. door and move along Simcoe St. Please see the image below for clarity.
  • For Red Day-designated events, the side door on Simcoe St will remain closed before and during the game. Please do not queue at this door.
  • OLSC Toronto is not responsible if someone has queued in the wrong section.
  • Our club’s Code of Conduct extends to behaviour outside the pub and in these queues.

  • Often, these games also include a notice of “Wristband Policy in Effect,” which means that wristbands will be issued on entry and only those with wristbands will be allowed to enter/re-enter the pub during the match. Further, to manage traffic, improve service, and keep in compliance with fire code regulations, we will issue different colour wristbands for different sections of the pub.
  • When the pub has hit capacity, wristbands will no longer be handed out and the pub(s) will be closed to additional visitors – members or not. Please follow instructions and be kind to our volunteers. If in doubt, we encourage you to come to the pub well in advance of opening times.

AT THE SLYE FOX

  • Only one queue exists for this pub; however, early entry is still granted to Premium Members on Red Day-designated events. Non-Members or General Members will be asked to stay in queue outside till the designated time.
  • Please follow instructions by our volunteers at the door.

We understand that for some games, despite screening matches at two pubs with large capacities, we can still run out of space. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, because of fire code regulations, our pub management must deny entry to fans wishing to attend some of our “bigger matches.” We are working on additional pubs to help accommodate our growing fan base and the demand for LFC matches. It’s not always easy due to the fact that we’re managed by volunteers – not paid staff – and it’s incredibly difficult to run events across multiple pubs. That said, we are working on solutions and will update everyone as soon as we have more news to share on this front.

Thanks for your patience and support.
