York to Host Second Panini FIFA World Cup Sticker Swap Event on July 4th

The excitement of sticker collecting is set to continue in York as the LNER Community Stadium prepares to host a second Panini FIFA World Cup Sticker Swap Event on Saturday, 4th July. Following the success of the first event on June 21st, which attracted hundreds of passionate collectors from across the region, this upcoming event promises to be just as thrilling.

Event Details

The sticker swap will take place from 10am to 3pm in the LNER Lounge at the stadium. It is a fantastic opportunity for collectors to gather, trade stickers, and meet other enthusiasts. The event is completely free, making it accessible to everyone interested in completing their 2026 Panini FIFA World Cup Sticker albums. Notably, card collectors are also encouraged to join in, as many attendees at the previous swap enjoyed juggling both sticker and card collections.

Popularity and Attendance

The first sticker swap event was a resounding success, with collectors travelling from as far away as the Lake District, Newcastle, Chesterfield, Huddersfield, and Hull to attend. With so many eager fans, it was no surprise that many participants made significant progress in completing their albums. Some even walked away with a complete set of stickers after swapping with fellow collectors at the stadium. This camaraderie among collectors is what makes these events special, as they share their love for football and the excitement of building their collections.

What to Bring

Visitors are encouraged to bring their sticker swaps to trade with others. The hashtag #GotGotNeed has been a popular way for collectors to communicate their needs and extras on social media, helping to connect with others before and after the event. It's a great idea to check the lists of stickers that others are looking for, as this can lead to successful trades and a more complete album.

For those planning to drive, parking is available free of charge at Monks Cross Park and Ride, with no time restrictions. However, it's important to note that other car parks surrounding the stadium may have restrictions and are not operated by York Stadium Management Company. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking and ensure they have ample time to enjoy the event.

Community Spirit
