Aston Villa v Manchester City: Ticket prices, buying information and latest form

Aston Villa will host Manchester City at Villa Park in Birmingham on Saturday, 24 October 2026, with tickets expected to be in high demand after a dramatic 2-1 away win for Villa in the teams’ most recent Premier League meeting in May 2026.

Four of the clubs’ past five Premier League matches have been decided by a single goal. Villa have won three of those games, while Manchester City have won two, with both sides scoring nine goals in that five-match sequence.

How to buy tickets

The main official route for Aston Villa supporters is through the club’s ticket office. Claret & Cub Members are given priority access to general admission tickets at the official price, with one ticket permitted per member.

Active season-ticket holders will often be allowed to buy additional tickets for family or friends during a later sales window, before any remaining seats are released more widely.

A general sale may take place close to matchday if tickets remain available. However, high-profile fixtures against teams such as Manchester City rarely reach that stage and usually sell out during the members’ sale.

Manchester City supporters seeking seats in the away end must use the club’s official ticket portal. Away tickets are restricted to Cityzens Matchday members and season-ticket holders with enough loyalty points.

If official tickets have sold out, seats may still appear on resale platforms such as StubHub. Prices on those services can be substantially different from the club’s original price.

Ticket prices

The fixture is classed among Aston Villa’s highest-priced games, in Category 1. Official Villa Park prices vary across seating areas 1-4, including the Trinity Road Stand, Doug Ellis Stand, Holte End and North Stand, as well as according to membership status.

Adult general admission tickets cost about £60 to £100 or more. Reduced prices for supporters aged over 66, those under 21 and members of the armed forces range from £45 to £75.

Tickets for under-18s are priced at approximately £30 to £50. Premier League regulations set the maximum adult price for an away ticket at £30, including Manchester City’s allocation.

On secondary markets, standard general admission tickets typically start at about £95 to £120. Seats in central lower sections or along the sides generally average £150 to £250 or more. Official matchday hospitality packages begin at roughly £200 to £350 per person.

Team form and head-to-head record

Villa have won three of their past five matches in all competitions, drawing one and losing one. Their latest result was a 3-2 Premier League victory away to Tottenham, while they also beat Club Brugge 3-2 in the Champions League. Their only defeat in that run was a 2-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest.

Across those five matches, Villa scored nine goals and conceded eight.

Manchester City have won their past five matches in the Premier League, Carabao Cup and Champions League. They scored 13 times and conceded four, although three of those goals came in their latest match, a 5-3 Premier League win over Sunderland. City also scored five against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup and beat Manchester United 1-0 away in the league, underlining the consistency shown by Maresca’s team on the road.
