Bournemouth tickets 2026/27

Home points instead of a membership

There is no adult membership for UK-based fans: access to Premier League tickets is decided by home points. Supporters based outside the UK can join Global Cherries, listed at £45 including P&P for 2026/27, and under-16s have Junior Cherries. Tickets are sold on tickets.afcb.co.uk, run by SeatGeek.

How a league sale unfolds

Each Premier League game opens on a Tuesday to holders of the most home points. Lower thresholds are released on the Thursday and Sunday after, and a final Cherry Tuesday puts held-back seats on sale to anyone with at least one home point. The Hull City game showed the sequence: 26 or more points from Tuesday 20 October, 20 or more from Thursday 22 October, and Cherry Tuesday on 27 October.

The club's provisional calendar opens the Coventry match on Tuesday 3 November to holders of 27 or more points, and Aston Villa on Tuesday 24 November at 28 or more. The opening threshold then rises by one point for each later game, to 37 for Chelsea, on sale from Tuesday 13 April.

Ticket Exchange and late returns

After Cherry Tuesday, seats come back through the Ticket Exchange, where season ticket holders list unused seats in the app or their online account; it is open to supporters with at least one home point. Returns are released on the weekday before the match.

Prices

An adult Category A ticket starts at £43 in the Family Stand, before a £2 fee, and the club says its Europa League league-phase prices match its Premier League Category A prices.

Europa League and cup ties

Season ticket holders have first call on Europa League home games, followed by home-points drops and small ballots for Junior Cherries, Global Cherries and holders of 10 or more away points. In October 2026 no sale had been announced for the visits of Viktoria Plzen on Thursday 10 December and Hapoel Beer Sheva on Thursday 28 January. A general sale is rare, but the club has used one for some cup ties, such as the Carabao Cup match against Aston Villa.

Resale listings at the smallest ground in the division start high for every fixture, and the opponent decides the rest. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea sit well above the others, with Aston Villa next: Bournemouth v Manchester United tickets start far above those for Fulham. Tottenham, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Ipswich and Coventry form the middle of the list, while Hull City, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and, for now, Manchester City are at the lower end.

Listings are thin, too. Most sit along a touchline, labelled "West Stand", the Main Stand side, or "Longside", and some sellers do not name a section at all. VIP packages often start close to the ordinary seats. For some of the bigger games, seats in the away section are listed separately: those put you with the visiting fans in the East Stand.

Sellers set their own prices, far above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay. Bournemouth tickets are digital and held in the club app, so check how a listing will be delivered before you buy.

The Vitality Stadium, officially Dean Court, sits in Kings Park, Boscombe. The ground opened in 1910, and its capacity of 12,357 at the start of 2026/27 is the smallest in the Premier League. An expansion to around 20,000 seats is planned while the stadium stays open, so access and parking arrangements may change during the season.

• Vitality Main Stand, along the west touchline: reception, players' entrance and VIP gate.
• Vitality East Stand, opposite: visiting supporters in blocks 21-24 at its south end, and the afternoon sun.
• Vitality Steve Fletcher North Stand, behind the north goal at the Thistlebarrow Road end: licensed safe standing throughout.
• South Stand, behind the south goal: built in 2013 and named after Ted MacDougall.

Safe standing also covers rows J-R of the corner blocks 9C and 24C. Under-3s are not admitted to safe-standing areas, and the club advises fans with young children to sit in the Main or East Stand.

Walk from Pokesdown station, about 15 minutes away but not step-free, or allow around 30 minutes from Bournemouth station, which is accessible. Morebus routes 1a/1c, 1b, 22, 33, M2 and X3 stop on Holdenhurst Road, Littledown Avenue, Ashley Road and Christchurch Road. From 2026/27 there is no general parking in the Kings Park car parks, only pre-booked spaces, plus limited parking at Avonbourne Academy and the Sovereign Centre.

Every supporter and bag is searched, bags larger than A4 are refused, buggies and prams are not allowed, and there is no re-entry.

Visiting supporters are not behind a goal at Bournemouth. They sit along the East Stand touchline, in blocks 21-24 at the South Stand end, and enter through Gate D. For Europa League games the club names blocks 24 and 24C as the away section, with segregation in blocks 23 and 25.

If you are a home fan or a neutral buying on the resale market, check the block before paying: a seat at the south end of the East Stand is likely to be among the away support.
