Standard listings begin in the Longside Tier at £747. Very few seats are listed for this game, so the table is short. "Seller's choice" lets the seller allocate the block, and hospitality packages are priced in their own row.

Bournemouth v Aston Villa: date, kick-off and how to watch

Aston Villa travel to the south coast for the first Premier League weekend of 2027: Bournemouth v Aston Villa is set for Saturday 2 January at the Vitality Stadium, kick-off 5.30pm. At the club the match is not on sale yet at the official seller (checked 5 Nov 2026), and the first release is pencilled in for Tuesday 24 November, open only to supporters holding 28 or more home points.

Seats listed on Hellotickets start at £747 in the Longside Tier (checked 5 Nov 2026).

One thing to know before you plan: the Cherries have sold some cup ties against Villa on general sale, but league matches go through the points scheme.

The fixture is on Saturday 2 January 2027 at 5.30pm, at the Vitality Stadium in Kings Park, Boscombe, on the east side of Bournemouth. That is a teatime slot rather than 3pm, so the Saturday blackout does not apply; the UK broadcaster for the game is set by the rights holders and published in the Premier League's TV listings.

Premier League times can still be moved when television schedules are revised, so treat the time as fixed only once it appears in the AFC Bournemouth app with your ticket.

How to get Bournemouth v Aston Villa tickets

There is no adult membership to buy that unlocks a Premier League match at Dean Court. Bournemouth sell league tickets through the Cherries Points scheme, in a fixed weekly rhythm:

Tuesday 24 November (provisional). The first drop opens to supporters with 28+ home points; the club describes the criteria as provisional.
The following Thursday and Sunday. Lower points thresholds are released if seats remain.
Cherry Tuesday. Seats held back are offered to anyone with at least one home point.
Ticket Exchange and returns. Season ticket holders list unused seats in the app or online account, open to supporters with 1+ home point, and returns come out on the weekday before the match.

A general sale is rare at this club. It has been used for some cup ties, the Carabao Cup match against Aston Villa among them, but that does not carry over to this league fixture. Supporters living abroad can join Global Cherries (£45 including P&P for 2026/27), and under-16s have Junior Cherries.

If you have no home points, resale is the realistic route. Sellers on Hellotickets set their own prices, which can be above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay. The Bournemouth tickets hub tracks every home release.

Good to know before you go

Check your points total earlyThe first drop on 24 November needs 28+ home points. Log in before then so you know which release, if any, you qualify for.
Allow time at the gatesEvery supporter and bag is searched at the perimeter turnstiles, bags larger than A4 are refused, and there is no exit and re-entry once you are inside.
No car park on the dayFrom 2026/27 the Kings Park car parks are pre-booked only. Pokesdown station is about a 15-minute walk; Bournemouth station is around 30 minutes away.
Digital tickets onlyClub tickets sit in the AFC Bournemouth app. Hellotickets sends resale tickets as soon as it receives them from the seller, sometimes up to 1–2 days before the event.

Where to sit at Vitality Stadium

Dean Court, the smallest ground in the Premier League this season by capacity, has four stands. The Vitality Main Stand runs along the touchline on the VIP West car park side, facing the Vitality East Stand. Behind the north goal, the Vitality Steve Fletcher North Stand is licensed safe standing from end to end; the South Stand closes the other end.

Villa's supporters do not get an end of their own here: the away section is along the East Stand touchline, in blocks 21-24 at its south end, with entry through Gate D.

The listing for this match, "Longside Tier", is a touchline seat without a named block, so it could be on either side. If you want to sit with home fans, ask the seller which stand before paying, since the East Stand also holds the visitors.
