How to buy Premier League tickets without a membership now that the 26/27 games are announced
Premier League 2026/27 tickets are now on sale, but they can be tricky to get if you don’t have a season ticket. Most clubs give priority to season ticket holders and members first. So, if you don’t have one, your chances of getting a seat might be slim—unless you know some insider tips!
Don’t worry though, if you really want to watch the action live, there are a few ways to get tickets without a season ticket. You can try resale tickets, hospitality packages, or ticket transfers. Here’s a quick guide to help you out.
First up, hospitality tickets are the easiest way to buy without needing a membership or waiting in a ballot. These are available online for the ‘big six’ clubs—Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur. Prices start at about £250 and cover both home and away games.
If you’re on a budget or prefer sitting in the stands, resale tickets are a good option. Just be sure to buy from trusted sites to avoid scams and get a money-back guarantee.
The third method is ticket transfers, which let you send tickets to friends or family. Each club has its own rules, so check carefully. For example, Liverpool only allows transfers to fans with a general admission NFC pass, but Manchester United doesn’t require a membership for transferred tickets.
Hospitality tickets vary by club and package, starting at around £250 for basic perks like lounge access and a meal. Mid-range packages can range from £50 to £500, while VIP experiences can cost over £1,000 per person.
Tickets for the main six clubs are available now through Seat Unique, where you can enjoy extras like exclusive lounges, premium seats, free drinks, and fast entry.
If you’re a loyal fan with a membership, keep an eye out for away tickets too. The £30 cap on away ticket prices has been extended for two more seasons, making it easier to catch games on the road.
Keep in mind, home tickets usually cost between £30 and £160, with some clubs like Sunderland, West Ham, and Burnley offering cheaper options around £40. London clubs like Chelsea tend to be the priciest.
If you choose hospitality or resale tickets, you should be able to get tickets for all the major clubs if you act fast. For transferred tickets, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur don’t require memberships, making them the simplest choice.
Away tickets are often sold through points systems or ballots, with season ticket holders getting first pick. Non-members can buy them too, but it depends on the club and availability.
Visitors to the UK can also buy hospitality or resale tickets easily. Transfer rules, though, vary by club, so check the details above.
For flights and places to stay, check out Booking.com and Tripadvisor. And remember, the best way to avoid scams is to buy tickets straight from official club sites or verified resale platforms. Enjoy the season!
