Please note that tickets for away games have to be ordered by the branch 6 weeks in advance, so if you are planning on attending an away game, please ensure your ticket request is received in time as the ticket office will not allow us to change anything once the order has been placed. You will need to pay the branch a £20 deposit for the ticket when ordering. If the branch is running transport to a particular game, a deposit will also be required for the coach.
City Street and City Square
The area around the City Store at the Stadium has been developed to contain coffee shops, bars, cafes & entertainment areas and will be known as City Square. The walkway to Joe Mercer Way has been painted blue and white and will be known as City Street.
