Premier League tickets

There is no central Premier League box office. Every club sells its own tickets through its own website, and almost every big club sells to paying members first. For American visitors, the membership step is the one that usually comes as a surprise.

Club guides

What visitors need to know

You usually need a membership

Most clubs sell home tickets to members before anyone else, and at the biggest clubs members are the only buyers. Memberships cost roughly £35–£80 a season, and each person in your group needs their own, including children.

Sales open about six weeks out

Member sales typically open around six weeks before a match. Each club publishes exact dates per match, often as an application window or a ballot.

Dates and kick-off times move for TV

Fixtures are released in June, but many matches are moved for UK television. The league commits to at least six weeks' notice of changes before January, so don't book non-refundable travel around an unconfirmed kick-off time.

Ballots are common for big games

Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool's All Red sale and Manchester United's biggest games use random ballots. Entering doesn't guarantee a ticket, and some clubs publish success rates.

Only buy from the club

In England and Wales, reselling a football ticket without the club's written permission is a criminal offence (Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, section 166). Clubs cancel unofficially bought tickets and refuse entry. Each club's own Ticket Exchange is the safe way to buy a resold seat.

Tickets are digital

Most clubs issue mobile tickets tied to your club account, so you can't print a PDF from a third party and walk in.

Easiest and hardest
Manchester City and Fulham are the most accessible of the clubs we cover. Arsenal, Newcastle and (this season) Aston Villa are the hardest.
