Listings start in the Longside Upper Tier, from £82, with the touchline upper tier right alongside. Lower tiers follow closely and the middle tiers a little higher, while the named stand zones and Central seats around halfway are much dearer. Away-section seats are priced far above the home areas, "Seller's choice" lets the seller allocate the block, and hospitality is listed apart.

Manchester City v Nottingham Forest: date, kick-off and how to watch
Manchester City v Nottingham Forest is pencilled in for Saturday 16 January 2027 at the Etihad Stadium.

So the game is on sale at the official seller even before its kick-off time is known.
On Hellotickets, resale seats start at £82 in the Longside Upper Tier (checked 5 Nov 2026).

For now the fixture is set for Saturday 16 January 2027 at the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester, kick-off TBC. That date is provisional: it can still move once the Premier League confirms its January schedule with the broadcasters.
If it stays at 3pm on the Saturday, the match will not be broadcast live in the UK because of the 3pm blackout. If it moves to another slot, check the broadcasters' listings for the channel once the time is fixed.

How to get Manchester City v Nottingham Forest tickets
The members' sale is open now on tickets.mancity.com, provisional date or not. City sell men's home tickets only to Official Members in 2026/27, so membership is the starting point:
- Pick a membership. Matchday costs £38 a season, Premium £65 and Junior £20. Season Ticket Members already have the match included and can add three tickets.
- Buy up to four tickets. Premium, Matchday and Junior Members can each buy up to four, with adult prices from £30. No buying history is needed for this fixture.
- Later release. Several weeks before the match, once the date and kick-off are confirmed, City release more seats to members, including Season Ticket Members' seats from the Ticket Exchange.
- Hospitality. Bars from £180 and hospitality from £320, sold separately.
Resale is the alternative for non-members. On Hellotickets, sellers price their own seats, sometimes above face value, and the total is displayed before payment. With the club sale open, member prices are usually lower. Our Manchester City Membership guide covers joining, and the Nottingham Forest tickets page covers Forest's own matches.
Good to know before you go
- Keep travel flexibleThe date is provisional and the kick-off time is TBC, so book trains or hotels you can change until the Premier League confirms the slot.
- Skybar or Tunnel ClubHospitality ranges from the Tunnel Club in the Colin Bell Stand to the Skybar on top of the expanded North Stand, and its entrances open three hours before kick-off.
- Tram to the doorFrom Piccadilly, the Metrolink takes 8-10 minutes to Etihad Campus, the stop right outside the Pep Guardiola Stand.
- Your phone is the passTickets are NFC mobile tickets: at the turnstile you hold the back of your phone to the TAP reader, so make sure the battery will last the day.
Where to sit at Etihad Stadium
The Etihad's tiers run as a continuous bowl, which City label Levels 0 to 3 in their price bands. Behind the goals, the South Stand has three tiers, rail seating in the lower one and the away section, so Forest fans will share it with City's loudest home support; the Pep Guardiola Stand opposite is the expanded north end, with a rail-seating area and a Skybar on top. The Colin Bell Stand and the East Stand run down the touchlines.
Some listings name a stand outright: "North Stand Lower Tier" is the bottom of the Pep Guardiola Stand, "East Stand Upper Tier" the top of the east side, and "Colin Bell Stand Lower Tier" sits close to the pitch on the west side. The rest use Shortside (an end), Longside (a touchline) and Central (around halfway). The Etihad Stadium seating plan maps the blocks.
