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.

The two memberships serve very different purposes:

  • Cityzens Membership (£25): Good for merch discounts, not much use for ticket access.
  • Matchday Membership (£35): Essential if you’re serious about getting tickets—it gives you priority after season ticket holders.
  • When do tickets go on sale?

  • Tickets for all home games are released at the start of the season.
  • Sales are staggered by loyalty points → Matchday members → General sale.
  • Fixtures are often moved for TV or cup matches, so double-check kickoff times.
  • What are the easiest & hardest games to get tickets for?

    Generally the easiest:

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

    The hardest:

  • Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool = 🔥🔥🔥
  • Final home game of the season (trophy lifts)
  • Champions League knockouts
  • Can I Buy Tickets Close to Kickoff?

    Yes, and it’s more common than you think:

    • Season ticket holders often return tickets late
    • Untaken allocations sometimes go back on sale
    • Keep checking official resale via the Man City site

    How to ensure you don't get scammed

    Man City tickets are digital and tied to your account. Be wary of:

    • Screenshots or PDFs from strangers
    • Unofficial resale on Facebook, Reddit, or Twitter
    • Tickets offered outside of family/friend transfer list

    Stick to:

    • Official club site
    • Cityzens Resale

    What if I’m flying in from abroad?

    1. Buy a Matchday Membership.
    2. Sign up for FTP Alerts.
    3. Target midweek games or lesser opponents., if your booking last minute. If you're looking in advance it shouldn't be too difficult to secure tickets even to the biggest games.
    4. Alternaivly search up if your city has an official supporters club in your country—they get allocations, and you could secure tickets to the biggest games via this method.

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

    What About Away Tickets?

    Away tickets are extremely limited and awarded via loyalty points. You’ll need:

    • A Matchday or Season Ticket Membership
    • A high number of points (Takes years to buildup)
    • Or...a miracle

    If you're new to this world our advice is to focus on home matches.

    Where should I Sit In the Etihad? Does It Matter?

    Yes—and it changes your experience. Here’s the lowdown:

    • South Stand (Block 116): Loud, passionate fans
    • Colin Bell Stand (Block 128): Premium pricing, central views
    • East Stand (Block 102): Near the tunnel, pricey
    • Family Stand (Block 137): Affordable, family-friendly
    • Upper Tier Blocks: Cheaper, still great views

    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.
    Here’s what you get:

    • Instant alerts when tickets drop or resale 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 resale opens.
