The Ultimate Guide to Buying Manchester City Tickets

Real Fans. Real Tickets. No Nonsense.

Do I need a membership to buy Man City tickets and what membership should I get?

Yes, for most matches, especially big ones. You’ll need at least a Matchday Membership to get early access. General sale is rare for high-profile games.

City offers three Official Memberships for 2026/27: Matchday (£38 a year), Premium (£65) and Junior (£20). Matchday is the one most fans need: it gives access to home tickets, £5 off every Premier League home ticket and normally one ticket per membership. Premium adds 10% off select hospitality packages.

When do tickets go on sale?

City puts all home games on sale at once near the start of the season, with the timing announced after the summer fixture release. Season ticket holders come first, then members in order of loyalty points, and anything left goes to general sale.

What are the easiest & hardest games to get tickets for?

• Domestic Cup games (early rounds)
• Midweek games vs. lower-ranked teams
• Non-rival Premier League matches

Can I Buy Tickets Close to Kickoff?

• Season ticket holders often return tickets late
• Untaken allocations sometimes go back on sale
• Keep checking the club’s Ticket Exchange

How to ensure you don't get scammed

Man City tickets are digital and tied to your account.

• The club’s Ticket Exchange

What if I’m flying in from abroad?

Need multiple tickets? Each person must have a membership and linked account.

How Can Football Ticket Pro Alerts Help?

Let’s face it, Man City tickets vanish faster than a De Bruyne through ball. That’s why FTP Alerts exist.

• Instant alerts when tickets drop or the Ticket Exchange opens
• Real-time updates, so you don’t need to constantly refresh
• 100% legit links to official club sources (not shady third-party sites)
• Helps you snag tickets others miss

Is it possible to secure tickets to cup finals and big matches.

Slim, but not impossible.

• Finals are often allocated to top season ticket point holders.
• Members usually miss out unless points are accumulated over years.
• FTP can’t guarantee final tickets, but we’ll notify you if the club’s Ticket Exchange opens.
