How to buy AFC Bournemouth tickets: Prices, membership, essential guide to cheap Premier League tickets 2025/26

If you want to get your hands on Bournemouth tickets, you are in the right place for all the essential information on prices, club membership and availability to get along to the Vitality Stadium to cheer on the Cherries.

Since Andoni Iraola became the club's manager in 2023, they have stepped it up a gear and are no longer seen as relegation candidates but rather a team that can push for a place in the European places in the Premier League.

That has certainly been the case at the beginning of the 2025/26 season, with the Cherries one of the best performing sides in the league, including being joint on 18 points with fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and several other teams.

The natural result of their improvement on the pitch, especially at the beginning of this term, has been a clear increase in difficulty when it comes to buying Bournemouth tickets.

If you are trying to buy Bournemouth tickets for the 2025/26 season, then our guide below has you covered.

Do I need a membership to buy Bournemouth tickets?

Not exactly, but Bournemouth sell individual match tickets using the ‘Cherries Points' scheme.

Only on limited occasions, will a fixture go to a general sale meaning that anyone can buy a ticket. The purpose of this is meant to ensure that genuine fans and those buying the tickets are doing so for the right reasons.

Once you have bought tickets two or three times, your points will accrue and that will make accessing certain games easier.

For groundhoppers or the casual fan, this means getting access to tickets is more difficult, but it is still more than possible.

How to get a Bournemouth membership?

The ticketing website carries all of the relevant information on how to get to a game.

Whilst there is no membership as such, you will need to create an account on the Bournemouth ticketing portal in order to have a chance of purchasing a match ticket.

Bournemouth ticket prices at the Vitality Stadium

As set out above, the ticket pricing range is certainly not the cheapest in England but you are on the south coast.

There is a good case to be made if the stadium was bigger, then cheaper tickets could be part of the conversation but as a smaller club compared to some of the elite in the Premier League, Cherries bosses have previously stated that increases to adult ticket prices have been put in place so that the club can establish a “consistent discount for concession ticket holders of 20 per cent off adult pricing.”

Ticket prices are always subject to change and the latest information is provided on the club website.

5-year plan for disabled ticket prices

In what is certainly a step in the right direction for supporters with disabilities throughout the country, Bournemouth have announced a 5-year plan to implement a single disabled discount on all ticket prices at the Vitality Stadium.

After consulting with both Level Playing Field and the club's Disabled Supporters' Association, the Cherries board released the following statement: “The club is beginning a 5-year plan to align a single, consistent disabled discount price. The club will look to align wheelchair and ambulant disabled discounts at 40% off adult pricing by the start of the 2028/29 season.”

The change is part of a wider project at Bournemouth as the seaside club continues to work on making football at the Vitality Stadium more accessible to supporters with disabilities.

Bournemouth hospitality tickets

Bournemouth has a range of hospitality areas including the exclusive Boardroom, Cherry Orchard suite, executive boxes and the relaxed sports-bar style Kings Plaza.

These usually provide a more premium matchday experience, with Cherry Orchard Suite a particular favourite among fans who spend the big bucks at The Vitality.

In this area, you can “elevate your experience in our hospitality suite, the Cherry Orchard. In addition to a seat in the Main Stand, packages include a welcome drink, a three-course meal, entertainment from our matchday host, a matchday programme and refreshments at half-time and full-time.”

Similarly to matchday tickets, the price of these packages varies depending on the category of fixture you wish to attend, but as a rough guideline, Cherry Orchard Suite tickets for the Southampton game on September 27 are currently priced at £325.

Bournemouth tickets FAQs

How to get to the Vitality Stadium at Bournemouth

The stadium address is AFC Bournemouth, Vitality Stadium, Dean Court, Kings Park, BH7 7AF.

As ever on Football Ground Guide, public transport is always advised with both Bournemouth (Central) and Pokesdown train stations within walking distance of the stadium.

The latter is the closer option with an approximate 15-minute walk required, but most trains will stop at Bournemouth which will require a 25/30 minute walk.

Local buses drop off nearby Dean Court including on a matchday whilst there is a taxi stand at both train stations named above.

How can I get Bournemouth away tickets?

Bournemouth away tickets are available first and foremost to season ticket holders and those with a high number of Cherries Points.

As with most football clubs in the top leagues, away tickets are not easily accessible and limited in numbers, dependent on the allocations at the relevant home stadium.

An alternative exists, with ‘touts' often on the streets at the stadium in what is effectively a black market as well as resale sites online. Some of these are more reputable than others, you will often pay well over face value and you should always be alert for scammers.

How can I get cheap Bournemouth tickets?

Bournemouth tickets are not cheap, even by Premier League standards, so you will need to be on the ball to get sorted for the game.

You will need to acquire points by first of all assessing what fixtures will drop to a general sale, otherwise, you could be calling in a favour from a Bournemouth fan or scrambling around Dean Court on a matchday.

Can I do a stadium tour of the Vitality Stadium?

At present, organised stadium tours are not readily available at Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium.

Occasional tours happen as part of club events or for a particular feature but it is not something that anyone can just book online or to turn up at the stadium.

How to watch Bournemouth at home

If you are unable to purchase Bournemouth tickets or to get to the Vitality Stadium, you can watch the Premier League action from the comfort of your own home.

Over the season, selected Cherries' Premier League games will be live on Sky Sports or TNT Sports as well as a limited broadcast offering from Amazon Prime.

The FA Cup is screened by BBC and ITV, so any live coverage of Bournemouth winding their way to Wembley will be on freeview TV.
