How Man City sell Champions League tickets
For 2026/27 City run a Member Cup Scheme for the Champions League. Members who went to at least two games last season could join in August, and joining gives you the same seat for every home Champions League game, with prices capped at £35 up to the quarter-finals. Season ticket holders on the scheme get first priority.
That means a big part of the Etihad is booked before a single match goes on sale, and what is left goes to members in order of their ticket points. If you aren't a member, the official route is mostly closed.
Love1Ticket lists tickets for every City Champions League game from verified sellers, with no membership needed. The price you see includes our fees, and the seller sends the tickets before the game. Resale tickets may be above face value.

How much are Man City Champions League tickets?
For the Napoli game on 24 November, this is what each part of the Etihad costs, cheapest ticket first and then the typical price, fees included (15 October 2026):
- North and South Stands, upper tier: from £67, typically around £100
- North and South Stands, middle tier: from £67, typically around £107
- North and South Stands, lower tier: from £74, typically around £107
- Colin Bell and East Stands, upper tier: from £77, typically around £107
- Colin Bell and East Stands, middle tier: from £127, typically around £134
- Colin Bell and East Stands, lower tier: from £80, typically around £147
- Hospitality: from £149
AEK Athens and Sporting CP are priced about the same. For comparison, the cheapest seats for Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United's home European nights start well above £120 on our site, so the Etihad is the best-value Champions League night in England right now.
The away games are a different story: Barcelona from £431 and Leipzig from £381, because few seats come up. Watch how every City game has moved on our Man City Champions League price tracker, or compare City with every other club in the competition on our Champions League ticket prices page.
Where to sit at the Etihad
Colin Bell Stand and East Stand
The long sides, with the best view. The East Stand is still called the Kippax by older fans, after the terrace at Maine Road.
North Stand
Rebuilt as part of the expansion, with the family area, a hotel and the covered fan park outside. Good value for European games.
South Stand
The other end, where away fans are housed. It also has the biggest concourse in the ground, with bars and DJs before kick-off.
Hospitality
From the lounges up to the Tunnel Club. On Love1Ticket, Champions League hospitality at the Etihad starts at about £130 to £165.
Getting there
The Etihad Campus tram stop is right by the ground, and Manchester Piccadilly is around a 20-minute walk. The stadium is card only. See the Etihad Stadium guide for parking and more.
Going to City's away games
City's away allocation (UEFA gives the visiting club around 5% of each ground) goes to members on the scheme first. A resale ticket for Leipzig, Barcelona or Lens will usually be in a home section, so keep your colours hidden and arrive early for the gate checks.
