We can now confirm ticket and ballot information for our Premier League away fixture against AFC Bournemouth on Wednesday 22nd April 2026, KO 8pm.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Digital ticketing will become a mandatory requirement for all existing Premier League clubs by no later than Season 2026/27. Newly promoted clubs will have a period of two years to implement its use upon joining the League. Therefore, as part of our transition to being fully digital, our ticket allocation for the AFC Bournemouth away fixture will be digital NFC tickets.
A digital NFC ticket will be emailed to each ticket holder. Once the deadline for away ticket refunds has passed, digital tickets will be sent out no later than close of business on Friday 17th April. Digital tickets can only be downloaded once. Please note, screenshots of digital tickets will not work.
All supporters are encouraged to arrive early for this game and ensure that they have downloaded their digital ticket to their Apple /Google wallet on their smartphone before arriving at the Vitality Stadium.
