COVENTRY City have received backlash from supporters after revealing the club’s ticket prices for the 2025/26 season.

The Sky Blues revealed their ticket prices for the upcoming campaign with new category A+ adult tickets priced at £45.

The seats are situated in the standard/family zone of the Coventry Building Society Arena.

This is an increase of £8 compared to last season’s category A ticket prices.

And the cheapest concession price for category A games has also increased by £8 from £32 to £40 for the category A+ matches.

Category A prices have risen by just £1 from £37 to £38 for adults and also from £32 to £33 for concessions.




Under-18 supporters have seen a £3 increase to their tickets from £25 to £28 for a category A match.

Junior Sky Blues fans (under-14s) will pay an extra £8 from £15 to £23 for category A matches. They will also be charged £30 for category A+ games.


The club have already sold a record 23,800 season tickets ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

A number of the club’s supporters have reacted to the news on social media platform X.

The majority of supporters have reacted angrily to the news and feel the ticket prices are too high.

Reacting to the ticket prices on X, That Cov Pod said: “This is an utter disgrace.”

Neil Littlewood added: “Vile pricing. We have lambasted other clubs doing this over the years, pricing the average fan out of the game. The fans will feel this when we go away too as clubs will retaliate. Please reconsider this.”

Ben said: Fleecing fans. Great idea. Can’t wait to be charged through nose for away games now. Thanks.”

Buswell said: “£45 is disgusting prices at this level.”

Lee T said: “That’s me not attending any games next season. At home at a push. I can afford it but £45 for a Cov match I can watch from home for free, I know what I’d prefer.”

Martin said: “These prices are too much for families to pay. I would urge that the owner urgently rethinks this tiering system and sets a price for all games.”

Nick Rogers said: “Shocking pricing. Fans that travel away will be treated with reciprocal outrageous pricing.”

However, some supporters see sense behind the new ticket prices due to the record number of season tickets already sold.

Benjamin Lipman said: “The pricing is interesting, a lot on here saying they won’t pay it, the problem now that you guys have is others will and have been paying it. One thing is every penny counts due to the CBS rent agreement, so sadly Doug’s doing his job. They are a little high for kids though IMO.”

Martin Coleman added: “Think people are missing the point here. He don’t care about the price of £45 because he’s already sold 24k season tickets so the ground will be pretty much 25/27k with away [supporters] anyway. This is just his supply and demand plan. People will still pay it. For me it’s wrong though.”

William Edwards said: “Don’t see the fuss to be honest. As fans we want better players, to get promoted money has to be supported by multiple avenues and this is one of them. Cost of running a club goes up just like bills in our life, remembering this is a business and Doug is trying to not let us go red.”
