Tickets for the Stadium Sleep Out cost £30 and cover stadium entry, two drinks, and breakfast the following morning. Teams of 10 can receive two complimentary places by paying for eight tickets. A spokesperson for DLAG stated that the funds raised will directly contribute to the charity's efforts in providing emergency food support, household essentials, community projects, and practical help for those in need throughout South West London. The organisation also noted that the event cannot fully replicate the realities of homelessness.
Community groups, schools, and other organisations are invited to participate. These groups can use the event as a co-fundraising initiative, keeping 50 per cent of the money they collect. The remaining 50 per cent will support DLAG's operations and the event's delivery. DLAG's portion of the funds is capped at £4,000, with any additional money raised by partner organisations remaining with them.
