Prices start in the Shortside Upper Tier, from £442.
Touchline and lower-tier zones sit higher than the upper tier behind the goals, and the zones labelled only Shortside Section and Longside Section are priced far above everything else, so check what those listings include. Seller's choice listings leave the block to the seller, and away-section seats are listed apart for Chelsea supporters.

The fixture is scheduled for Friday 27 November 2026 at 8pm UK time, at the City Ground in West Bridgford, on the south bank of the River Trent about a mile from Nottingham city centre.
A Friday-evening kick-off is not affected by the 3pm Saturday blackout. Live UK coverage depends on the broadcasters' selections, which the Premier League publishes, so check those listings and confirm the time on your ticket before setting off.

How to get Nottingham Forest v Chelsea tickets
There is no general sale for Forest's Premier League home games: every home-section seat for Chelsea goes to MyForest members. Adult Core membership costs £45 for 2026/27, while Plus (£75) and Pro (£99) are open only by renewal or upgrade. The club's timetable for this match:
- Tier priority. Pro members went first, from 10am on 19 October, one ticket per customer number; Plus members followed at 10am on 20 October, then Core members, Junior Reds and International Reds at 10am on 21 October.
- Members' ballot. Applications ran from 2pm on 21 October to 10am on 22 October, up to six tickets each, for all MyForest members, and successful applicants bought between 4pm on 22 October and 10am on 23 October.
- Second sale. A further members' sale has been open since 10am on 23 October, subject to availability.
- Ticket Exchange. Live since midday on 23 October: season-card holders list their seats and members pay the full adult price, until the turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off.
The club sells hospitality separately, from £199 for 2026/27 home league games. Not a member, or out of luck in the ballot? Compare the seats listed on Hellotickets, where prices can be above face value. Our Nottingham Forest Membership guide compares the tiers.
Good to know before you go
- Load your ticket before you leaveDigital tickets are mandatory for every supporter at the City Ground from 2026/27, Season Card holders included. Add yours to your smartphone wallet at home, not in the queue.
- Leave the bag behindAll fans are searched, with a metal detector wand among the checks. Bags larger than A4 are not allowed, and the club recommends arriving without one.
- Plan the late journeyNottingham station is about a mile from the ground, a 20-25 minute walk or a ten-minute bus ride. With an 8pm kick-off on a Friday, check your train home first.
- Away tickets to collectChelsea supporters collecting tickets will find the Visitors' Ticket Office in the John Robertson Stand, by the away turnstiles; it opens 90 minutes before kick-off.
Where to sit at City Ground
Four stands and a corner section make up the City Ground. Behind the goal at the river end is the Trent End, with the Trentside Lounge in its mezzanine; at the other end, the two-tier John Robertson Stand (the Bridgford Stand until 2026) sits under a distinctive sloping roof. The Peter Taylor Stand is the main stand on one touchline, facing the two-tier Brian Clough Stand and its executive boxes; a corner stand of about 500 seats, built from shipping containers, sits beside the Trent End.
Chelsea's fans take the lower tier of the John Robertson Stand. On Hellotickets, Shortside zones are behind a goal and Longside zones along a touchline, with the tier in the zone name; skip away-section listings if you want to sit among home fans. The City Ground seating plan goes stand by stand.
Frequently asked questions
How much are Nottingham Forest v Chelsea tickets?
At the club, adult (22-65) MyForest members pay from £50, as this is a Category A match, but you need membership to buy.

Can I buy Nottingham Forest v Chelsea tickets without being a member?
Not from Nottingham Forest, which keeps Premier League home tickets for MyForest members: the priority windows, the ballot and the Ticket Exchange all require membership, and adult Core costs £45 for 2026/27. Without it, the only route is resale, where sellers set their own prices.
How much does a Premier League ticket cost?
Each club sets its own prices. At the City Ground in 2026/27, adult members aged 22 to 65 pay from £50 for Category A games such as Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, and from £45 for Category B games such as Coventry City. Resale listings are priced by sellers and can be above face value.
