Manchester City Away Ballot and Ticket Details Confirmed for Leeds United
Travelling supporters face a strict mid-November window to secure their place at the Etihad Stadium, as Leeds United reported ticketing and ballot arrangements for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Manchester City. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, December 2, 2026, with kick-off set for 7:30 pm.
The fixture brings familiar logistical hurdles for away fans making the cross-Pennine trip to Manchester.
Tracker Ballot Opens to Loyal Supporters
The application process kicks off on Monday, November 9, with the opening of the Tracker Ballot at 10:00 am, running until midnight. This initial window is restricted to supporters who attended eight or more away games during the 2025/26 season, giving those dedicated travellers a 50 percent chance of success. The results for this tracker group will be processed on Tuesday, November 10.
Following the tracker phase, separate ballots open on Wednesday, November 11, catering to remaining Season Ticket Holders and My Leeds Members. Supporters who miss out during the tracker ballot can immediately throw their hats into this broader pool. The club runs these secondary ballots on Thursday, November 12. The ticket office notes that adjoining seats can only be guaranteed for supporters who apply together within the same single ballot application.
Match Ticket Prices Vary by Age
Match ticket pricing for the away section is structured across multiple age brackets, with all listed figures inclusive of a £1.50 booking fee. Adult tickets cost £31.50, while senior supporters aged 65 and over pay £26.50. Young adults aged 18 to 21 are also priced at £26.50, and supporters under the age of 18 face a £21.50 charge.
For disabled supporters, wheelchair spaces and ambulant tickets are priced at £26.50 for adults, while under-18 wheelchair and ambulant tickets cost £21.50. Each paid accessible ticket includes the provision of a free personal assistant.
The visitor allocation includes 25 wheelchair spaces, alongside available ambulant tickets. Manchester City has designated 14 accessible parking spaces in the Grey Car Park at Gate 7, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Supporters requiring these spaces must email the Leeds United Disability Liaison Officer with their name, email, and vehicle registration number. Complimentary audio-descriptive commentary headsets are also available for blind or partially sighted supporters from any seat in the stadium, coordinated through the respective club liaison teams.
Level two wheelchair bays present a specific stadium layout quirk, lacking direct access to the visiting supporter concourse. Entry for these bays is routed through the hospitality entrance at South Reception, meaning visiting fans will mix with home supporters when utilizing nearby facilities.
Manchester City Distributes Digital Entry Passes
All successful applicants will receive their entry passes digitally via email. Manchester City will distribute these digital tickets no later than close of business on Monday, November 30. Because each digital pass can only be downloaded once and screenshots remain invalid, supporters must ensure they download their tickets directly to an Apple or Google wallet on a smartphone prior to arriving at the stadium. Fans requiring assistance at the turnstiles must carry matching photo identification to verify ownership.
For supporters unable to make the rearranged date, the absolute deadline to request a match ticket refund is midnight on Friday, November 27.
Strict age restrictions govern entry to the Etihad Stadium for younger fans. Supporters under the age of 14 are strictly prohibited from entering unaccompanied and must attend with a parent or guardian, with both parties required to pay the prevailing ticket rate. Fans aged between 14 and 18 may enter the stadium alone, but they cannot assume responsibility for another minor. Official guidance recommends strict adult-to-child supervision ratios for groups, ranging from one adult for every three children aged two and under, up to one adult for every ten youths aged 13 to 17.
Official coach travel operated by the club departs from outside the East Stand at 4:15 pm on matchday. Coach tickets are priced at £33.00 for adults and £23.00 for concessions, inclusive of a £1.50 booking fee.
