Coventry tickets 2026/27

Join the Sky Blues

Membership is the first step. For 2026/27, Adult Sky Blues costs £45, Teen £35, Junior £30 and International £35. Members can buy one ticket each in their window, or up to ten by linking other members to their account.

Members first, then purchase history

Each Premier League home game goes on sale to members first, first come, first served. Supporters with a previous purchase history, meaning any ticket bought since 2016/17, come next. A general sale is rare, so a fan with neither membership nor history has little access to the club's own sale. Tickets are sold through the club's Ticketmaster site and arrive as digital tickets for Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

Match categories

Games are priced in three categories. Newcastle United was a Category A match, Hull City and Brighton Category B, and Fulham and Sunderland Category C.

Television dates

Four games have fixed dates on Sky Sports: Ipswich, moved to Tuesday 1 December at 8pm, Aston Villa, moved to Sunday 13 December at 4.30pm, Chelsea, moved to Sunday 27 December at 2pm, and Brentford on Wednesday 30 December at 7.30pm.

Season tickets and the Ticket Exchange

Season ticket holders who cannot go can forward their seat or list it on the Ticket Exchange, up to 90 minutes before kick-off. Listed seats go on sale only once a match is officially sold out, as happened for Brighton, and only to supporters with a purchase history. Our Coventry Season Ticket guide covers the season ticket itself.

Three visits sit at the top of the resale list: Liverpool on Wednesday 10 February, Arsenal and Manchester United, all starting at the same high level. Coventry v Liverpool tickets are a fair guide to that bracket. Manchester City and Chelsea follow, then Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Bournemouth and Tottenham. Aston Villa, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Everton are lower, and Ipswich, moved to a Tuesday night, is the most affordable game of the list.

For several games, Chelsea included, listings start in the South Stand. That is the stand that houses the away section, usually blocks 6-9, so check the block before you pay if you want to sit with Coventry fans. Listings along the touchline ("Longside") come next, a few use sponsor names such as the Tesco Stand rather than the club's stand names, and some named areas sit far above the rest. Away-section seats are listed separately for several games.

Sellers set their own prices and the final price is shown before you pay. When a club sale is open to you, it is usually the cheaper route.

The Coventry Building Society Arena, called the Ricoh Arena until 2021 and often shortened to the CBS Arena, opened in 2005 on Jimmy Hill Way in north Coventry, next to Arena Park Shopping Centre. Its seated bowl holds 32,609 for 2026/27. Concerts use either the bowl or a separate indoor arena on the same site.

• West Stand, the main stand along the west touchline: the only two-tier stand, with hospitality boxes above the lower tier, hotel rooms overlooking the pitch and the directors' seats.
• East Stand, along the east touchline: its corner by the South Stand is Singers' Corner, home of the loudest support, with home safe standing in blocks 12-16.
• North Stand, behind the north goal: the family area.
• South Stand, behind the south goal: the away section and the big screen.

The Coventry Building Society Arena seating plan shows each block.

Coventry Arena station is on site, but with one train an hour in each direction, so the club's matchday shuttle is the main public transport option: it runs from the Bus Interchange at Coventry station via White Street Coach Park to Arena Park, for £5 return, paid by contactless. Buses 3, 15 and 20/20A/20B stop at the retail park opposite, and drivers are 800 yards from junction 3 of the M6.

Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off. Bags are searched, large bags, food and drink, long umbrellas and buggies are refused, and the kiosks are cashless.

Visiting supporters are behind the south goal, in the South Stand. The club says they are often in blocks 6-9, with safe standing in blocks 6 and 7, rows AA to XX. The away section is said to hold about 3,000 next to the West Stand, with other parts of the stand closed for segregation or opened to home fans when away demand is low.

Singers' Corner, where the loudest home fans gather in the East Stand, sits right beside the away section. Car Park C is the closest paid parking to the South Stand.
