How to Buy Leicester City Tickets

How can you buy Leicester City tickets?

With the foxes back in the Premier League, buying Leicester City tickets has become increasingly difficult. Groundhopper Guides explains the best options for getting tickets to a Leicester City game.

Three Ways to Buy Leicester City Tickets

King Power Stadium only holds around 30,000, people and Leicester sell out every game. So how can a regular person, wanting to visit for the first time, get tickets? Basically, there are three routes:

  1. Buy from the club, which is really hard unless you go for hospitality, which is expensive.
  2. Buy from the secondary market, which is technically illegal and can be dodgy.
  3. Buy tickets or hospitality from an authorized agent like us. We are registered agents selling 100% legit Leicester City tickets.

Let’s go through each one. And here’s a video for some big-picture context on buying Premier League tickets.

Buying Leicester City Tickets From the Club

This is difficult and complicated, due to demand. We will try to keep it simple.

First, you are going to need a club membership to get access to tickets before the general public does. Memberships start at £35 for adults and £30 for an international membership.

Note that for each ticket you want, you will need a membership. Family of four? You need four memberships.

Now, having a membership does not mean you will get tickets, and much less four together. That’s because tickets are allocated starting with season ticket holders and then proceeds through various levels of membership and loyalty points. The details don’t matter so much as this: If Leicester is playing anybody you’ve ever heard of, you won’t get tickets through this system. The people ahead of you in line will snap them all up. If the opponent is kind of a nobody, you might have a chance.

Still and as always, the more you want together, the harder it gets.

Buying Leicester City Hospitality

The above all refers to regular tickets. There is a whole different system for hospitality, which is just tickets plus access to a lounge, and sometimes food, drinks, a museum tour, whatever. The club sells these directly on their website as well as through official resellers; more on them in a second.

The advantage of hospitality packages is that you don’t have to be a member to buy them, and they are available well before regular tickets are. They can, of course, be quite expensive, since they come with those extra benefits.

Buying Leicester Tickets from the Secondary Market

Let’s move on to option 2, the secondary market, referred to in the UK as “touts.” Here we’re referring to websites like StubHub, and this is technically illegal. That doesn’t mean you will get screwed, but if you do get screwed you won’t have any recourse other than through StubHub.

In almost all cases, what’s available on the secondary market is season tickets and member tickets being resold at quite a profit. These sites are not based in the UK, which lets them get around UK laws. No doubt the vast majority of these sales are legit, but we’ve heard stories like

  • people having to meet someone before the game to get their membership card to swipe at the turnstile
  • orders being cancelled (and refunded, but still) because the seller got a better deal or the tickets just didn’t come through
  • orders being completely fake

Note: Buying tickets on the street outside the stadium is much less common in the UK than in the US. It is also much more illegal, and we strongly encourage you to avoid this.

We suggest you start with the Premier League website where they have more information on “touts,” including a list of unauthorized ticket websites.

Buying Leicester Tickets from a Legit Reseller – Like Us!

Option 3, legit resellers, often means buying a hospitality package. The club works with official resellers who purchase blocks of seats for the entire season, then resell them directly on their websites or through “registered agents” like travel agents, credit card reward companies, and other trusted partners. Check the United website for a list of their official resellers, who often have availability when the club doesn’t.
