How to Find Cheap Coventry City Tickets
The Sky Blues' story is one of the most turbulent in English football :
- 4 stadium owners,
- 4 different home grounds,
- 2 groundshares in other cities,
- Years of supporter protests before finally, in August 2025, the club purchased the CBS Arena outright. After two decades of uncertainty since leaving Highfield Road, Coventry City finally owns its home.
On the pitch, the resurgence has been equally dramatic. From League Two in 2017 to Championship play-off finals and FA Cup semi-finals under Mark Robins, and now Frank Lampard as main coach pushing for Premier League promotion.
The 32,609 seat CBS Arena, once half-empty during the ownership battles, now regularly sees 23,000+ season ticket holders through the turnstiles.
Getting tickets is more straightforward than at many other Championship clubs, but the big matches sell fast. Here's everything you need to know.
The official route: finally a club that owns its home
The good news first: Coventry's ticketing system is simpler than most Premier League clubs. Season ticket holders come first, then members, then general sale. For most fixtures, you can actually buy tickets without jumping through hoops and queues.
Season tickets and the Premier League promise
Season tickets are the best value way to follow the Sky Blues, and the club has created genuine incentives to lock in long-term support:
- 01.
The main offer is the "Premier League Package", fans who sign up and renew for five consecutive seasons (running from 2023-24 through 2027-28) get their price frozen at the original rate AND receive a free season ticket for Coventry's first season back in the Premier League, if they achieve promotion during that window.
- 01.
A Premier League Package 2.0 was introduced in 2024-25 for new subscribers with a four-year commitment.
Current season ticket prices for 2025-26:
| Season | Cheapest | Most Expensive |
|---|
| 2022/2023 | £400 | £480 |
| 2023/2024 | £400 | £480 |
| 2024/2025 | £400 | £480 |
| 2025/2026 | £400 | £520 |
Disclaimer: The club sold a record 23,800 season tickets for 2025-26, up from 21,000 the previous year. A cap of 24,000 has been introduced to maintain ticket availability for match-by-match sales.
Membership and match-by-match sales
Unlike many clubs, Coventry doesn't operate a complex membership tier system for regular fans. The main membership offering is the Junior Sky Blues for supporters under 14, which costs £50 separately or is included with a Junior season ticket.
For match-by-match purchases, the club operates a straightforward system:
- 01.
Season ticket holders (additional tickets)
- 02.
Previous purchasers / registered fans
- 03.
General sale
The good news: most Championship fixtures reach general sale. The CBS Arena's capacity comfortably exceeds demand for matches against lower-profile opponents, meaning you can often buy tickets days before kickoff.
Match ticket prices for 2025-26 operate on a category system:
Category A (big matches):
- Adult: £38
- Concession: £33
- Under-18: £25
- Junior: £15
Category B (standard fixtures):
- Adult: £30-35
- Concession: £25-30

Category C (lower-demand):

Key Take Away: One of the more accessible Championship clubs for casual visitors. If you're not attending a local derby or playoff-chasing rival, you can likely get tickets without advance planning.
Hospitality at the CBS Arena
The CBS Arena offers a range of hospitality options, from accessible matchday lounges to full executive boxes. The West Stand upper tier houses most premium facilities, with pitch-view hotel rooms .
- The Mill (£750/season or ~£40/match): The entry-level hospitality option. Padded seats in Block A near the halfway line, access to The Mill lounge with bar facilities, and a more relaxed dress code than other lounges. Popular with fans wanting comfort without corporate formality. Note: front rows can get wet in rain.
- Legends Lounge (£825/season or ~£45/match): Second block to the right of the directors' area, pre-match entertainment, programme and teamsheet included, guest speakers (usually former players), and access to the Legends lounge before, during half-time, and after the match.
- Club Coventry (£925/season or ~£50/match): The most popular corporate membership. Seats in blocks adjacent to the directors' box, non-alcoholic drink at half-time, programme, teamsheet, and access to the Club Coventry lounge. Man of the match interviews post-game.
- Vice Presidents (£1,875/season): The oldest corporate club in UK football. Centre block seating over the tunnel, premium lounge access, and parking often included. Similar facilities to Club Coventry but with the prestige location.
- Balcony Street Bar (£1,475/season): Introduced 2024-25 and immediately popular. West Stand balcony seating with live music, DJs, and street food concept. Cashless bar included. More vibrant atmosphere than traditional hospitality.
- Platinum Dining: Upper tier balcony with three-course meal, varying drink packages. The premium matchday experience with full table service.
Executive Boxes: Private spaces for groups on the upper tier, full catering options. Corporate favorite, priced significantly higher than other options.
Verdict: The Mill and Legends offer genuine value for fans wanting to escape concourse queues and unpredictable weather.
Resale platforms
Championship football means ticket availability is generally better than the Premier League, but Coventry's increased popularity has changed the equation for big matches. Local derbies against Birmingham City and Aston Villa or promotion rivals such as Leicester City, and FA Cup ties now sell out through official channels.
For those fixtures, or for visiting fans who don't want the hassle of the official system, resale platforms like TicketSeal, aggregate tickets who can't attend.
What you'll actually pay
Resale prices at the CBS Arena remain reasonable by football standards.
- Lower-demand fixtures (newly promoted teams, midweek games): £25-45
- Standard Championship opponents: £35-60
- Higher-profile opponents (Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland): £50-90
- Local derbies (Leicester City if in same division, Birmingham City): £70-120+
- Play-off implications (late-season matches with promotion at stake): on average £60-100+
- FA Cup ties (depending on opponent): £40-100+
According to our data, the Singers' Corner (southeast section of the East Stand) sometimes has slight premiums for its atmosphere, while the North Stand family sections has the most affordable options.
Tips for getting the best price
- 01.
Monitor the South Stand — Allocated to away fans but sometimes opened to home supporters for smaller traveling contingents. Can offer last-minute availability.
- 02.
Consider midweek fixtures — Tuesday and Wednesday night matches consistently have better availability and lower resale prices.
- 03.
Book early for Leicester and Birmingham — If the M69 Derby or Second City rivalry returns to the Championship, these fixtures sell out within hours.
Use TicketSeal for comparison — When multiple resale platforms list the same fixture, prices can vary by 20-30%. Comparison saves money.
Stick to trusted ticket platforms that offer buyer protection. Deals found in Facebook groups, X (Twitter), or from individuals outside the stadium carry significant risk. If a price looks too good to be true, it usually is.
