How to Buy Bournemouth Away Tickets

Every Premier League away sale AFC Bournemouth has scheduled for 2026/27 opens at 10+ away points, and the high-demand ones have sold out within about a week. Arsenal's general allocation, the maximum 3,003, was exhausted on the 1+ point day, Manchester United allowed no general sale at all and the Carabao Cup quarter-final at Anfield is restricted to cup points holders before anyone else. Bournemouth away tickets are allocated primarily through the club's loyalty points system, so this guide shows how that system runs, what each trip costs and which routes are still realistic.

If you only need a seat in a home section at the Vitality, that is a different product with different rules, and the AFC Bournemouth tickets on 1BoxOffice cover every home match this season. The rest of this guide deals with the away end, where the club's points record decides almost everything.

Two Kinds of Away Ticket, Two Different Sellers

Searches for Cherries away seats usually mean one of two things. The first is a Bournemouth supporter wanting a place in the away end at Tottenham, Anfield or Vigo. The second is a supporter of another club travelling to Dean Court and looking for the visitors' section. The sellers are different, so the advice is different.

• Bournemouth fans travelling away: the host club gives its away allocation to AFC Bournemouth, which sells it through its own ticketing account in points order. Everything from the next section to the Europa League section applies to you.
• Visiting fans at the Vitality Stadium: AFC Bournemouth releases the visitors' allocation to your club, and your club sells it under its own loyalty rules. Bournemouth does not sell those seats to the public. Jump to the section on visiting the Vitality.

In both cases the away seat is attached to a named supporter account. That single fact shapes the resale question later in this guide.

The Away Points Ladder: How Every Sale Runs

The club's away ticket guidance is short and blunt: Premier League away tickets are sold against the number of away league points a supporter holds. Once a match goes on sale, the threshold drops every Thursday, Sunday and Tuesday until all seats have been issued. The 2026/27 schedule published on 7 July set a 10+ away point opening for all 19 league trips.

Tottenham away on Saturday 26 December (3pm) is a typical example of the ladder, taken from the club's notice of 9 November 2026:

Window	Who can buy	Opens
1	10+ away points	Tuesday 10 November, 10am
2	7+ away points	Thursday 12 November, 10am
3	4+ away points	Sunday 15 November, 10am (if seats remain)
4	1+ away point	Tuesday 17 November, 10am (if seats remain)
5	General sale	Thursday 19 November, 10am (if seats remain)
Off-sale	Sales close	Thursday 24 December, 12pm

Three details matter more than the dates:

• The final window is not always a general sale. When the host club refuses one, Bournemouth replaces it with a drop for "Cherries Points Holders", meaning supporters who hold home or cup points. Arsenal and Manchester United both ended that way this season.
• The allocation can shrink. Premier League rules entitle the visiting club to 3,000 tickets, or 10% of capacity at grounds under 30,000, and hosts can offer more: this season's maximums have ranged from 2,695 at Craven Cottage to 3,103 at Old Trafford. Bournemouth must confirm its final allocation no later than four weeks before the match, and it cuts the number if sales are slow. The club says this also limits home fans buying into the away end on general sale.
• Each window opens a threshold, not a promise. Holding 7+ points makes you eligible on the Thursday; it does not hold a seat for you if the 10+ group has already cleared the block.

Away, Home and Cup Points: What Counts Where

Bournemouth runs one loyalty scheme with three separate balances, and each sale says which balance it uses. Mixing them up is the most common reason a supporter logs in on a sale morning and finds the buy button greyed out.

Balance	Used for	2026/27 example
Away points	Premier League away sales and European away sales	Tottenham away opens at 10+; Celta Vigo opened at 12+
Cup points	Domestic cup away sales	Liverpool (Carabao Cup quarter-final) opens at 3+ cup points
Home points	Home sales, plus the final "Cherries Points Holders" drop on restricted away sales	Arsenal away's last window went to holders of home or cup points

The club's 7 July announcement confirms that points collected in 2026/27 are added to the total built up in 2025/26, so last season's away days still count this season. Your balances sit on the "Personal Details" page of your online ticketing account. The away ticket guidance does not publish a points-per-match tariff, so if you are unsure how a past trip was credited, check the account rather than relying on forum arithmetic.

European trips are the exception that catches people out. The Celta Vigo notice states that no away points are accrued by buying and attending Europa League matches. A season of Thursday nights in Prague and Vigo will not lift your Premier League away balance at all.

How the 2026/27 Away Sales Have Gone

The pattern so far is clear: the London and Manchester trips sell out inside the points windows, and European tickets have sold particularly quickly, with substantially smaller allocations. These are the outcomes AFC Bournemouth has published on its ticket notices this season.

Away match	Competition	Allocation	First window	Outcome
Chelsea (10 October)	Premier League	3,083 (maximum)	10+ away points, 25 August	All tickets issued 1 September, the 1+ day
Manchester United (25 October)	Premier League	3,103 (maximum)	10+ away points, 8 September	General allocation exhausted by 24 September; limited wheelchair places remained; no general sale permitted
Sparta Praha (5 November)	Europa League	1,004 (maximum)	13+ away points, 29 September	General allocation exhausted 30 September, the 10+ window; limited wheelchair places remained
Celta Vigo (26 November)	Europa League	1,158 (maximum)	12+ away points, 5 October	All tickets issued 8 October, the 4+ window
Fulham (29 November)	Premier League	2,695 (maximum)	10+ away points, 6 October	General allocation exhausted 13 October, the 1+ day; limited ambulant disabled seats remained
Arsenal (13 December)	Premier League	3,003 (maximum)	10+ away points, 27 October	General allocation exhausted 3 November, the 1+ day; limited wheelchair places remained; no general sale permitted
Liverpool (16 December)	Carabao Cup	Up to 3,058	3+ cup points, 11 November	No general sale; final drop to home points holders
Tottenham Hotspur (26 December)	Premier League	Up to 3,038	10+ away points, 10 November	General sale set for 19 November if seats remain

Two lessons come out of that table. A supporter with a single away point has had a realistic shot at the big league trips only on the 1+ day, and only before the seats ran out. And when the host refuses a general sale, as Arsenal and Manchester United did, no seat in that away end ever reaches open sale through Bournemouth. Home-section seats for neutrals at those grounds sit in a separate market, which the Premier League tickets range on 1BoxOffice covers.

The Away Trips Still to Come

The club published the full league sale calendar in July. Every first window is a Tuesday at 10am, between five and eight weeks before the match (most often 39 days), and the final points criteria for each game are confirmed in a notice shortly before it opens. Match dates can still move for television or for Europa League commitments.

Away match	Match date	First window (10+ away points)
Fulham vs Bournemouth	Sunday 29 November, 2.05pm	Opened 6 October; general allocation exhausted
Arsenal vs Bournemouth	Sunday 13 December, 2pm	Opened 27 October; general allocation exhausted
Tottenham vs Bournemouth	Saturday 26 December, 3pm	Tuesday 10 November
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth	Wednesday 30 December	Tuesday 17 November
Brighton vs Bournemouth	Tuesday 5 January 2027	Tuesday 1 December
Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth	Saturday 23 January (may move)	Tuesday 15 December
Leeds United vs Bournemouth	Saturday 6 February	Tuesday 29 December
Aston Villa vs Bournemouth	Wednesday 10 February	Tuesday 5 January
Coventry City vs Bournemouth	Saturday 27 February	Tuesday 19 January
Brentford vs Bournemouth	Saturday 20 March	Tuesday 9 February
Everton vs Bournemouth	Saturday 17 April	Tuesday 9 March
Hull City vs Bournemouth	Saturday 1 May	Tuesday 23 March
Sunderland vs Bournemouth	Saturday 15 May	Tuesday 6 April
Liverpool vs Bournemouth	Sunday 30 May	Tuesday 20 April

Crystal Palace on Wednesday 30 December follows Tottenham on Boxing Day, so supporters chasing both need two London trips in five days. For Selhurst Park travel, food and pubs, the South London away matchday guide covers the ground in detail. Brighton on Tuesday 5 January is the only south coast league trip of the season, with Southampton outside the Premier League.

What Away Seats Cost in 2026/27

Premier League clubs agreed in March 2026 to keep the £30 cap on adult away tickets for two more seasons, to the end of 2027/28. The cap covers league matches only. Concession prices are set by the host club, so the same Bournemouth supporter pays different junior and senior prices at every ground. These are the published figures for the notices issued this autumn.

Away match	Adult	Concessions	Club coach
Fulham (Premier League)	£30 (restricted view £28)	65 and over or 18 to 21: £29; under 18: £25	£37
Arsenal (Premier League)	£30	17 to 24: £22.75; 66 and over: £18.25; under 17: £11.50	£37
Tottenham Hotspur (Premier League)	£30	66 and over or 18 to 25: £25; under 18: £18	£37
Liverpool (Carabao Cup)	£33.50 to £38 by tier	Over 65: £25 to £28.50; young adult: £16.50 to £19; junior: £5	£60
Sparta Praha (Europa League)	720 CZK (about £26)	Single general admission price	Not offered
Celta Vigo (Europa League)	€35 (about £30)	Single general admission price	Not offered

Prices are as published on AFC Bournemouth's ticket notices between 28 September and 10 November 2026. European orders carried a £3 transaction fee per order. Personal assistants for eligible disabled supporters were free at Fulham, Arsenal and Tottenham, while the European notices offered free companion places for wheelchair users only.

The Fulham trip shows how far concessions vary: the under-18 price at Craven Cottage was £25, against £11.50 for an under-17 at the Emirates Stadium. Both grounds have their own visitor detail on 1BoxOffice, at Craven Cottage and the Emirates Stadium, and the London trips are covered street by street in the West London away matchday guide and the North London away matchday guide. For how the capped away price compares with what home fans pay across the league, see the Premier League ticket price index.

The Carabao Cup Quarter-Final at Anfield

Bournemouth beat Aston Villa at the Vitality in the fourth round on 28 October and were drawn away to Liverpool. The quarter-final is on Wednesday 16 December 2026 at 8pm, and the sale runs on cup points rather than away points, which reshuffles the queue for supporters who rarely miss a cup tie.

Window	Who can buy	Opens
1	3+ cup points	Wednesday 11 November, 2pm
2	2+ cup points	Friday 13 November, 2pm
3	1+ cup point	Monday 16 November, 2pm (if seats remain)
4	Season ticket holders and 1+ away point	Wednesday 18 November, 10am (if seats remain)
5	Cherries home points holders	Thursday 19 November, 2pm (if seats remain)
Off-sale	Sales close	Tuesday 15 December, 12pm

• Allocation: up to 3,058 seats in Blocks AL6 to AL9 of the Anfield Road Stand, reduced if sales are slow.
• No general sale: the club says it cannot offer one, so the last window goes to supporters with home points.
• Prices sit above the league cap: six price tiers from £33.50 to £38 for adults, restricted-view seats £1 less and every junior ticket at £5.
• Standing: rows 6 to 35 are rail seats in a licensed safe standing area; rows 1 to 5 must stay seated.
• Travel: Liverpool offers no matchday car parking for visiting supporters, and the club coach costs £60.

For the ground itself, the Anfield guide on 1BoxOffice covers stands and approach routes, and Liverpool tickets cover the hosts' other home matches. A semi-final place would bring a two-legged tie and a fresh cup-points sale, and the wider EFL Cup tickets range lists the remaining rounds.

Europa League Away Trips: Smaller Ends and Passport Checks

Bournemouth's first European campaign has produced the hardest away tickets of the season. UEFA's minimum allocation for visitors is far smaller than the Premier League's, and both host clubs declined Bournemouth's requests for extra seats once the original allocation had gone.

• Sparta Praha (5 November): 1,004 seats in the South Stand of Letná Stadium, opening at 13+ away points on 29 September. The general allocation was exhausted the next afternoon at the 10+ stage, with limited wheelchair places left through the ticket office. Sparta told the club on 26 October that no extra seats would follow.
• Celta Vigo (26 November): 1,158 seats in the Río Alto upper tier at Abanca Balaídos, opening at 12+ away points on 5 October. All were issued on 8 October at the 4+ stage, and Celta confirmed on 14 October that the allocation would not grow.
• Passports at purchase: both sales required the name and passport number of every supporter on the booking, and orders without them could be cancelled. Spanish law requires valid ID at the turnstile in Vigo.
• E-tickets only: tickets are sent as e-tickets in the week of the match and are non-refundable and non-transferable.
• Ballots: roughly 10% of each European allocation goes to ballots for Global Cherries members, season ticket holders and maximum home points holders (24+ for Prague, 25+ for Vigo).

The Celta notice also flagged a timing trap. Supporters on 12+ points had a protected window only until 10am on 6 October, the moment the Fulham league sale opened and gave other fans the chance to climb to 12 points. If you are close to a European threshold, the league sale calendar can move you over it or let others pass you. Seats for the Spanish leg in the home sections are separate from the away end and appear among Celta Vigo vs Bournemouth tickets, while the wider Europa League tickets range covers the knockout rounds.

Digital Tickets, Refunds and Lost Tickets

Home tickets live in the AFC Bournemouth app this season, but away tickets do not. Every Premier League and cup away notice checked for this guide says the same thing: the ticket arrives as an emailed link, you open it on your phone and add it to Apple or Google Wallet, and it will not appear in the app.

• When links arrive: after the deadline to cancel an order. The dates were 24 and 25 November for Fulham, 8 and 9 December for Arsenal, 14 December for Anfield and 21 and 22 December for Tottenham.
• Check your email address first: the link goes to the address on your supporter account, so correct it before you buy.
• Refunds: the club refunds an away ticket only if it is returned no later than five days before the match, and you will need your order number and supporter number.
• Nothing arrived: call the ticket office on 01202 726300 (option 1) no earlier than 48 hours before the match. A duplicate is then collected from the home club's ticket office with photo ID.
• ID and concessions: the club can ask for ID at the turnstile or inside the ground, and a concession ticket used by someone who does not qualify for the host club's concession can lead to refused entry or cancelled tickets.

Children's rules change at every ground. Tottenham requires an adult with anyone aged 16 and under, Liverpool with anyone under 16, Fulham with anyone under 14 and Arsenal with anyone aged 13 and under. Junior tickets on Bournemouth's away notices are sold only alongside an adult ticket.

How to Get an Away Seat With Few or No Points

Nobody can promise a seat in a sold-out away end, but the published sales point to a few routes that have worked this season.

• Be ready on the 1+ day. Chelsea, Fulham and Arsenal all reached that stage before selling out. One away point was enough to buy, for those online when the window opened.
• Watch for returns. On sold-out notices the club says returned seats are relisted online in the days before the match for supporters with 1+ away point.
• Use your home or cup points. The Arsenal and Manchester United sales ended with a drop for Cherries points holders, and the Anfield sale is scheduled to include a final drop for home points holders, so a home points balance is worth more than many supporters assume.
• Earn points where demand is softer. The club cuts allocations when sales are slow, which shows some away ends do not fill inside the points windows. Buying and attending those league trips is how the away balance grows; European trips do not help here.
• Enter the European ballots. If you are a season ticket holder, a Global Cherries member or on maximum home points, the ballot is a separate route into Prague-sized allocations.

For the home side of the scheme, including Cherry Tuesdays and the home ticket exchange, see the guide to buying Bournemouth home tickets without membership. Supporters who would rather skip the points race for a big home match can compare packages in the Bournemouth hospitality guide.

Visiting the Vitality Stadium: The Away End

For visiting fans, Dean Court is one of the scarcest away tickets in the league. Everton's guide of 28 August 2026 lists the capacity at 11,286 while redevelopment continues, and visitors at league and domestic cup matches sit side-on in the south end of the East Stand. Europa League nights work differently: UEFA requires at least 5% of capacity for the visitors, so AFC Bournemouth allocates Blocks 24 and 24C and adds segregation lines in Blocks 23 and 25, according to its supporter ticket information of 19 August 2026.

Detail	2026/27 position
Away section (league and domestic cups)	Vitality East Stand, Blocks 21 to 24
Away section (Europa League)	Blocks 24 and 24C, with segregation lines in Blocks 23 and 25
Entrance	Turnstile F, after perimeter turnstiles
Safe standing	Row J and above
Liverpool allocation (20 September)	1,361 seats, including 12 wheelchair bays
Brentford allocation (12 September)	Up to 1,300 seats; first window 2,090+ ticket access points
Brighton first window (2 December)	342+ Brighton loyalty points
Everton (29 August)	Sold out; fans told not to travel without a ticket

Liverpool sold its 1,361 seats first to members on the maximum 19 match credits, then to 18+ and 17+ credits on the following day, subject to availability. Its sale page states that ticket forwarding was not available and that tickets were strictly non-transferable, and it warns of restricted and severely restricted views within the allocation. How each club runs its own queue is covered in the Liverpool away guide, the Brentford away guide and the Brighton away guide.

• Rail: Pokesdown for Boscombe is about a mile away, roughly 15 minutes on foot, but is not currently accessible for wheelchair users. Bournemouth station is accessible and about 30 minutes' walk.
• Parking: there is no general admission parking in the Kings Park car parks. Avonbourne Academies offers about 200 free spaces (use Harewood Avenue in the satnav) and the Sovereign Centre about 600.
• Entry: every supporter is searched, bags must be smaller than A4 and the ground is cashless.
• Weather: the East Stand takes direct afternoon sun, so sunglasses and a cap help on early-season Saturdays.

For a block-by-block view of the home stands, use the Vitality Stadium seating plan. Supporters who want to attend in a neutral home seat can browse Vitality Stadium tickets, bearing in mind that supporters backing the visitors from home areas risk being moved or ejected by stewards.

Resale Away Tickets: The Legal and Practical Risks

This is general guidance, not legal advice. Under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended in 2007, it is an offence for an unauthorised person to sell a ticket for a designated football match or otherwise to dispose of one to another person. Selling includes advertising that a ticket is available for purchase and making a ticket available for sale by another, and a seller counts as authorised only with written authorisation from the match organisers. The offence is not limited to public places or business sales, and designated matches include Premier League and EFL Cup games involving English clubs.

The practical risk is just as important. An away seat is issued against a named supporter record, the host club can check ID and a ticket used by someone other than the named holder can be cancelled or refused at the turnstile. The European notices this season went further: tickets were non-transferable and every name had to match the passport number entered at purchase. A home-section seat bought for a neutral or home-supporting fan is a different product from an away-end seat, and away fans should not use home sections to support Bournemouth.

Before paying anyone for a ticket in any section, run these checks:

• Confirm which section the seat is in and that you can sit there in your club's colours.
• Read the delivery method and the date the seller expects to send the ticket.
• Check whether the host club's terms allow transfer to a named guest.
• Pay through a platform with a written refund policy, never by bank transfer to a stranger.
• Keep every message and receipt until the match has been played.

Buying Bournemouth Match Tickets on 1BoxOffice

Tickets for Bournemouth matches on 1BoxOffice are listed by independent sellers through the marketplace. Every order is backed by the 150% money-back guarantee: a full refund if your tickets are not received and no alternative is offered, plus a goodwill credit voucher of up to 50% of the order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) that 1BoxOffice may issue at its discretion. No marketplace guarantee overrides a stadium's entry rules, and refused entry is not covered.

Bournemouth enter the FA Cup in the third round in January, and the away sale for that tie will follow whatever criteria the club sets once the draw is made; FA Cup tickets cover every round. The same away-ticket mechanics for the Cherries' hosts this winter are set out in the Tottenham away guide and the Arsenal away guide, and visiting supporters bound for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Boxing Day will find the away end in Blocks 114 to 118 of the North-East Stand.
