Frequently asked questions
What is the Business Lounge?
The DHL Stadium boasts a shared hospitality facility on Level 4 of the west quadrant of the stadium. The space consists of three spacious, well-furnished membership lounges with a bank of field-facing windows and doors that lead outside onto a wide veranda before leading down into some of the best field-viewing seats in the stadium.
How does the Business Lounge Membership work?
The DHL Stadium Business Lounge has two types of memberships: VIP and Supporter Memberships. These memberships are valid for 12 months. Members can purchase these memberships up front for the year (July – June). Members are then welcome to attend the DHL Stormers and WP Rugby “home” matches – members will be required to purchase the relevant hospitality package for each match they elect to attend. This is because the lounges are run as hospitality facilities so there is not the ability to use the facility without enjoying hospitality.
What is the difference between the VIP and Supporter Lounges?
While both lounges offer hospitality services, the VIP lounge is a more premium offering, with more matches hosted with a full self-service buffet meal. Priority will also be given to the VIP lounge when securing rights from 3rd party event organisers. The VIP lounge offers the best seats in the stadium, stretching across the half-way line on Level 4. Members will be able to select a dedicated seat and utilise that seat for events. The Supporters lounge will also enjoy hospitality services, however the menu option will be more flexible and affordable. The lounge is designed for sporting enthusiasts who appreciate a more comfortable viewing experience with catering services. Seating will be offered on a first come basis, with no reserved seating.
