How to buy Nottingham Forest tickets in 2026: Prices, membership and everything else you need to know

Getting Nottingham Forest tickets in 2026 isn’t straightforward, particularly with demand at the City Ground continuing to rise following the club’s Premier League resurgence.

Many matches sell out quickly, and supporters hoping to attend regularly will usually need a MyForest Membership, while season tickets remain extremely difficult to secure due to long waiting lists.

However, there are still several ways to secure Nottingham Forest tickets, whether through memberships, ticket exchange, season cards or hospitality packages.

FootballGroundGuide provides everything you need to know about buying Nottingham Forest tickets in 2026.

Where can I buy Nottingham Forest tickets?

All Nottingham Forest tickets are sold through the club’s official ticketing platform via the Tickets section of the club website.

Unlike some Premier League clubs, Forest operate a mandatory membership system for most ticket purchases.

Supporters will typically need a MyForest Membership to:

• Buy home tickets
• Access resale tickets through Ticket Exchange
• Receive priority windows for high-demand matches
• Improve eligibility for away ticket sales

General sale availability is extremely limited, particularly for larger Premier League fixtures.

Nottingham Forest season tickets

The only guaranteed way to attend every Premier League home game at the City Ground is with a Nottingham Forest season card.

Forest have confirmed that season card prices for the 2026/27 campaign will remain frozen, with no increase across either general admission or hospitality areas.

Nottingham Forest season ticket prices (2026/27)

Prices remain unchanged from the previous campaign:

• Adults: £575–£915
• Seniors: £415–£700
• Youth: £285–£300
• Children: £190–£215

Forest have also reinstated the Young Adult category (18–21), which reportedly saves eligible supporters around £340 compared to full adult pricing.

Adult season cards continue to provide approximately 33% savings compared to buying individual match tickets throughout the season.

Nottingham Forest season ticket waiting list

Demand for season cards remains extremely high.

Current figures indicate:

• Season cards are sold out
• Waiting list exceeds 12,000 supporters

Existing holders are given renewal priority before any seats become available.

Nottingham Forest memberships

For supporters unable to secure a season ticket, a MyForest Membership is effectively essential.

Membership includes:

• Access to all home match sales
• Access to Ticket Exchange resale tickets
• Priority access windows
• Member-only competitions and events
• Retail and merchandise discounts

Membership is required for the vast majority of supporters wanting to buy home tickets.

Nottingham Forest membership vs season ticket

A season card guarantees your seat at every Premier League home fixture and offers significant long-term value.

Meanwhile, a MyForest Membership gives supporters the opportunity to purchase tickets, but availability is not guaranteed.

Season tickets are best suited to supporters attending every match, while memberships provide flexibility for fans attending several games throughout the season.

How to buy individual Nottingham Forest tickets

1. Buy a MyForest Membership

Membership is effectively required if you want realistic access to home match tickets.

3. Check match categories and on-sale dates

Fixtures are released through dedicated member sale windows.

4. Select seats and complete payment

Tickets are typically issued digitally or via print-at-home options.

5. Use the Ticket Exchange if sold out

Members can access Ticket Exchange, where season card holders list tickets they can no longer use.

For many Premier League matches, Ticket Exchange becomes one of the best options once standard sales sell out.

6. Try resale platforms

As a last resort, Forest supporters can also use reputable resale platforms such as:

• StubHub
• SeatPick – read our review here

However, supporters should be cautious when buying resale tickets, as prices are often significantly above face value and scams do still occur.

Hospitality packages typically start from around £540 per person, depending on the fixture and package selected.

FGG Verdict: Are Nottingham Forest tickets hard to get?

Nottingham Forest tickets are among the toughest to secure outside of the traditional ‘big six', with strong demand and a sold-out season card base making availability limited.

A MyForest Membership is effectively essential for supporters wanting regular access, while Ticket Exchange provides an important alternative route for sold-out fixtures.

For supporters targeting the biggest matches at the City Ground, planning ahead and securing membership access remains the best approach.
