During that sale, in August, any member could buy three seats for the Carabao Cup tie at Birmingham City in a single transaction. That gap is the whole story of Brentford away tickets this season: the club sorts every Premier League away match into one of three categories, which decide who can buy, when each sales window opens and whether a supporter needs a minimum TAPs balance.
Article Summary: Brentford sell away seats only to season ticket holders, premium seat holders and My Bees members, with no general sale so far in 2026/27. Category A matches are sold from the highest TAPs balance downwards with 5% held for a members' ballot. Category B matches open to members a day after season ticket holders. Friends & Family matches let one account buy several seats.
- A My Bees adult membership costs £45 before fees for 2026/27 (£45.45 with the club's 1% transaction fee) and gives supporters without a season ticket or premium seat access to eligible ticket sales.
- Bournemouth away on 12 September 2026 (1,300 tickets) opened at 2,090 TAPs and Manchester United away on 28 November 2026 (up to 3,000) at 1,500 TAPs, while Fulham away on 12 December 2026 (up to 2,700) is scheduled to open at 1,700 TAPs on 6 November.
- An adult Premier League away ticket costs £30.30 through Brentford in 2026/27: the £30 league cap, extended on 19 March 2026 to the end of 2027/28, plus the 1% fee.
- Eligible junior Brentford supporters can buy Premier League away tickets for £10 through Gen10, subject to the host club's age limits and ticket conditions.
- TAPs are credited only to supporters who attend, and a balance counts the current season plus the previous four.
This guide sets out how each category works, what the published ticket notices reveal, how TAPs build up and drop off, what a membership does and does not unlock and what is realistic for a supporter starting from zero. For home matches at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford tickets on 1BoxOffice cover the rest of the season.
Three Categories Decide Who Can Buy
The club's 2026/27 ticketing guide, published on 24 June 2026, places each of the 19 Premier League away matches in a category. Brentford describe the choice as data-led and made match by match, so there is no single TAPs figure that works all season. The three groups are:
- Category A (Arsenal, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur): 95% of the tickets are reserved for season ticket and premium seat holders and sold in windows that start with the highest TAPs balances and work down. The other 5% goes to a registration ballot for My Bees members. If anything is left after the all season ticket holders window, the sale moves on to members.
- Category B (Brighton, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Everton, Hull City, Ipswich Town and Leeds United): window one is for every season ticket and premium seat holder, first come, first served. Window two, usually the next day, opens whatever remains to every My Bees member.
- Friends & Family (Aston Villa, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Sunderland): season ticket holders, premium seat holders and members all buy in the same window, and each account can buy two or more tickets. The club raises that number when it expects plenty of availability.
A premium seat holder is a supporter with a seasonal hospitality seat at the Gtech, and the club treats them exactly like season ticket holders in every away sale. The groupings follow the size of the allocation as much as the size of the opponent. Bournemouth sit in Category A with a 1,300 maximum, while Manchester City and Newcastle United, both long trips to large grounds, sit in Friends & Family.
One further tool matters once a sale closes. Members can register interest in an away match that has sold out, and if more tickets are released the club contacts them in the order they registered. The catch is in the small print of the guide: a member must already hold the TAPs the sale required at the moment it sold out, so registering does not get round the points bar.
Away Ticket Notices Published by 5 November 2026
The table below covers the 10 men's away ticket notices found on the club website between August and 5 November 2026: seven in the Premier League and three in the Carabao Cup. Allocations, selling order and TAPs awards are as published by Brentford.
| Away match | Date | Category | Allocation | Who can buy, in order | TAPs for attending |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birmingham City (Carabao Cup round two) | 25 August 2026 | Category F (Friends & Family) | 1,048 (initial) | Season ticket holders, premium seat holders and members together from 18 August; three tickets per account | 35 |
| Leeds United (Premier League) | 30 August 2026 | B | 2,018 | All season ticket and premium seat holders, then all members the next day | 40 |
| Bournemouth (Premier League) | 12 September 2026 | A | 1,300 (maximum) | Season ticket holders with 2,090+, 1,750+, 1,385+ and 1,065+ TAPs, then all season ticket holders, members with 500+ TAPs and all members; seven windows from 12 to 21 August | 20 |
| Reading (Carabao Cup round three) | 15 September 2026 | Category F (Friends & Family) | Up to 5,000 | Season ticket holders, premium seat holders and members together from 3 September; six tickets per account | 20 |
| Aston Villa (Premier League) | 10 October 2026 | Category F (Friends & Family) | 3,000 | Season ticket holders, premium seat holders and members together from 1 September; four tickets per account | 30 |
| Hull City (Premier League) | 25 October 2026 | B | 2,459 | Season ticket and premium seat holders on 21 September, all members on 22 September | 45 |
| Sunderland (Carabao Cup round four) | 28 October 2026 | Category F (Friends & Family) | Up to 3,000 | Season ticket holders, premium seat holders and members together from 1 October; six tickets per account | 50 |
| Brighton (Premier League) | 8 November 2026 | B | 3,000 | Season ticket and premium seat holders on 5 October, all members on 6 October | 20 |
| Manchester United (Premier League) | 28 November 2026 | A | Up to 3,000 | Season ticket holders with 1,500+ TAPs on 20 October, all season ticket holders on 21 October, members with 10+ TAPs on 22 October | 40 |
| Fulham (Premier League) | 12 December 2026 | A | Up to 2,700 | Scheduled: season ticket holders with 1,700+ TAPs from 6 November, 1,300+ from 10 November, 1,100+ from 11 November, all season ticket holders from 13 November, then members with 500+ TAPs and all members on 16 November | 15 |
Three patterns stand out. First, the smaller the allocation, the higher the bar. Bournemouth's 1,300 seats at Vitality Stadium needed 2,090 TAPs on day one and took seven windows to reach all members on paper. Fulham's 2,700 is scheduled to start at 1,700. Manchester United's 3,000 at Old Trafford started at 1,500, and the published schedule reached members with as few as 10 TAPs on the third day.
Second, Category B and Friends & Family sales carry no points bar at all. A member who joined in the summer would have been eligible to buy, subject to availability, for Leeds, Hull and Brighton on the second day of each sale and for Aston Villa on the first. Third, the timing is fairly steady. Across the seven Premier League notices, first sales windows were scheduled between 24 and 39 days before kick-off. Season ticket holder windows have usually opened at 3pm UK time and members' and Friends & Family windows at 2pm, but Fulham's window for members with 500+ TAPs is at 10am, so check the time on each notice. Cup sales arrive later because the draw does: Birmingham went on sale a week before kick-off and Reading 12 days before.
Brentford do not publish the window at which each match sold out, so the schedule shows the order of priority, not how many seats were left at each step. A members' window on the notice is an eligibility window, not a guarantee that tickets remain available.
How TAPs Are Earned, Counted and Lost
Every match carries a TAPs value, published in the ticketing guide and confirmed in each sale notice. Home league matches are worth 10 or 15. Away trips generally award more TAPs, and the club says the figure reflects distance travelled, the day of the week, travel disruption, television scheduling and expected demand.
| TAPs for the away trip | 2026/27 Premier League opponents |
|---|---|
| 50 | Newcastle United, Sunderland |
| 45 | Hull City |
| 40 | Coventry City, Everton, Leeds United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United |
| 30 | Aston Villa, Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest |
| 20 | Bournemouth, Brighton, Crystal Palace |
| 15 | Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur |
Add the column up and the scale of the Category A thresholds becomes clear. Attending all 19 away league matches this season is worth 595 TAPs, and all 19 home matches a further 245, so a supporter who missed nothing in the league would bank 840. The 2,090 asked for on the first day of the Bournemouth sale is roughly two and a half seasons of that. The 500 asked of members in the Bournemouth and Fulham sales is most of a full season on the road.
The cup trips paid unusually well. Birmingham, Reading and Sunderland were worth 35, 20 and 50 TAPs, a total of 105 from three midweek matches that any member could buy. The four London trips in Category A (Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham and Tottenham) are worth 60 between them.
Three rules decide whether the points actually land:
- Attendance, not purchase, earns the TAPs. The club's away notices state that the points go only to supporters who attend, so a ticket bought and left unused adds nothing.
- Each ticket has to be assigned to the person using it. When one supporter buys for others, the club asks that every ticket is allocated to the right account so the TAPs register against the right name.
- Balances roll. Since 2025/26 a TAPs total reflects only the current season and the four before it, so points from a sixth season back drop away and a supporter who stops travelling slides down the order.
The current balance is shown in the club app and in the online ticketing account. It is worth checking before a Category A sale, because the thresholds are exact: 1,699 TAPs does not open a 1,700 window.

What a My Bees Membership Unlocks Away From Home
My Bees is the club's paid membership. Season ticket and premium seat holders already have their own purchasing rights, so My Bees is the route to Premier League tickets for supporters without either. Prices were frozen for a fourth season in a row: £45 for adults, £30 for ages 18 to 24, £30 for Bees Overseas (the tier for supporters living outside the UK), £20 for The Swarm (ages 11 to 17), £20 for Bee Team (ages 3 to 10) and £10 for Babees (ages 0 to 2), as of November 2026. The club's ticket site adds its 1% transaction fee, which is why the adult price displays as £45.45.
For away matches, a membership gives four things:
- A place in window two of every Category B sale, a day after season ticket holders.
- Equal access with season ticket holders to Friends & Family sales, including the right to buy for others on the same account.
- Entry to the Category A registration ballot, which holds 5% of the allocation.
- A place in the later Category A windows, first for members with a stated TAPs balance and then for all members, if tickets remain.
The ballot is smaller than it sounds. On the published allocations, 5% is up to 65 tickets at Bournemouth, 135 at Fulham and 150 at Manchester United, assuming the club receives its full stated allocation. Successful entrants buy in the first members' window, and the guide adds that members with the highest TAPs may be prioritised when numbers are tight. Brentford do not publish how many members enter.
Two practical points catch new members out. A membership bought online becomes active at 11am on the next working day, so joining on the morning of a sale is too late. And nothing in the 2026/27 guide offers an away season ticket: every away match is sold on its own, by category.
The Ticket Exchange, where season ticket holders release seats they cannot use, is a home-match facility. Members can buy one exchange ticket per home match, and none of this season's away notices offers an equivalent for the visiting section. The home side of the system, including the exchange and its TAPs requirements, is covered in the guide to Brentford tickets without a membership.
What a Brentford Away Seat Costs
Adult league prices are the simple part. Premier League clubs voted unanimously on 19 March 2026 to keep the £30 cap on adult away tickets for two more seasons, to the end of 2027/28. Brentford add their 1% transaction fee to every sale, so the adult price on each league notice this season is £30.30. Concessions are set by the host club and move from ground to ground.
| Match and month of sale | Adult | Concessions as published | Club coach (adult / concession) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leeds United, Premier League (August 2026) | £30.30 | Over 65 £29.29; ages 19 to 22 £29.29; 18 and under £10 | £51 / £41 |
| Bournemouth, Premier League (August 2026) | £30.30 | Over 65 £29.29; under 21 £29.29; under 16 £10 with proof of membership or a season ticket card (otherwise the under-21 price) | £39 / £30 |
| Aston Villa, Premier League (September 2026) | £30.30 | Over 66 £29.80; under 21 £29.80; under 18 £10 | £41 / £32 |
| Hull City, Premier League (September 2026) | £30.30 | Over 65 £25.25; ages 18 to 22 £25.25; under 18 £10 | £49 / £40 |
| Brighton, Premier League (October 2026) | £30.30 | Over 66 £26.26; under 21 £26.26; under 18 £10 | £38 / £29 |
| Manchester United, Premier League (October 2026) | £30.30 | Over 66 £29.29; ages 18 to 20 £29.29; under 18 £10 | £50 / £40 |
| Fulham, Premier League (November 2026) | £30.30 | Over 65 £29.29; ages 18 to 21 £29.29; under 18 £10 | Not on the notice |
| Birmingham City, Carabao Cup (August 2026) | £15.15 | Over 65 £10.10; ages 18 to 24 £10.10; junior £5.05 | £41 / £32 |
| Reading, Carabao Cup (September 2026) | £15.15 | Over 65 £12.12; ages 18 to 24 £12.12; ages 13 to 17 £9.09; younger juniors £5.05 | £31 / £22 |
| Sunderland, Carabao Cup (October 2026) | £15.15 | Over 65 £10.10; under 18 £10.10; under 14 £5.05 | £59 / £50 |
The £10 junior price in every league row is Gen10, a scheme Brentford launched in December 2024. Where a host club charges a junior more than £10 for a Premier League away ticket, Brentford pay the difference. The age that counts as junior is the host's, which is why the cut-off is under 16 at Bournemouth and under 18 at Old Trafford. Conditions can apply too: Bournemouth's notice gave the £10 rate only to under-16s who showed proof of a membership or season ticket card at the turnstile, and charged the under-21 price to those without one. The Manchester United notice shows what it is worth: the junior seat would otherwise have cost £29.29.
Restricted-view discounts are set match by match: £1 at Aston Villa and Brighton, £1 or £2 at Bournemouth depending on the view, and £2 at Leeds and on adult tickets at Fulham. The club coach leaves from Ealing Road, at 6.30am for the Leeds and Hull trips. A resale price is a different thing from any of these figures, because the cap applies to the face value a club charges, not to what a seller asks afterwards. The 1BoxOffice Premier League ticket price index compares clubs' home prices with the separately regulated £30 away-ticket cap, and Premier League tickets on 1BoxOffice show current resale prices for the same matches.
Cup Trips Were the Open Door This Season
Cup ties have their own categories in Brentford's 2026/27 guide (A*, A, B and F, for Family). All three Carabao Cup away ties were Category F, which the notices describe as Friends & Family, with no TAPs bar and an adult price of £15.15. Birmingham City in round two had an initial allocation of 1,048 and a limit of three per account. Reading in round three had up to 5,000 and a limit of six. The round four tie at the Stadium of Light had up to 3,000 and a limit of six, plus an extra: the club announced on 30 September 2026 that it would return the ticket price as account credit to every supporter who bought and attended, as a thank you for the travelling support.
Brentford won 6-1 at Birmingham and 2-1 at Reading before losing 3-2 at Sunderland on 28 October, so the EFL Cup tickets route is closed until next season. What remains is the FA Cup, which Premier League clubs enter at the third round in January 2027. FA Cup tickets for an away tie could go either way. The competition's rules allow a visiting club up to 15% of the ground, so a draw at a large lower-league stadium could look like Reading, while a draw at a Premier League rival would be sold more like a Category A league match.
For a supporter with few points, the lesson from the autumn is to treat any cup away tie as the first target. The three ties were open to every member, cost half the league price and paid 105 TAPs between them.
How to Buy With Few TAPs or No Membership
A supporter with no points has more options at Brentford than the Category A thresholds suggest, because 12 of the 19 league trips are Category B or Friends & Family. A supporter with no membership has far fewer. In order of how realistic they are:
- Join My Bees and buy in window two of the Category B sales. Ipswich Town, Coventry City, Everton and Crystal Palace are still to come.
- Use the Friends & Family matches. Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Manchester City remain. The number of tickets per account is set on each match notice; the four Friends & Family notices so far allowed between three and six.
- Travel with a season ticket holder or member on a Friends & Family trip. An eligible member or season ticket holder may buy additional tickets up to the limit stated in the match notice, but each ticket must be allocated correctly and any account or identification requirements still apply.
- Enter the Category A ballot for the remaining trips to Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea, accepting that it covers 5% of the tickets.
- Buy hospitality at the host ground only where the host club expressly sells it to visiting supporters. Most hospitality lounges are home-club areas under the host's own conditions, which usually rule out away support; the Brentford hospitality guide explains how the equivalent works at the Gtech.
Buying from the host club's own home sale is not on that list for a reason. A home-end ticket is not an away ticket, host clubs sell it on the condition that the buyer supports the home side, and a Brentford supporter identified in a home block can be refused entry or removed. Nothing on the resale market changes that condition.
Digital Tickets, Collections and Buying for a Group
Brentford's away tickets in 2026/27 are digital, but they do not appear in the club app. The box office emails them in the days before the match, and the notices tell supporters to get in touch if nothing has arrived 48 hours before kick-off. A supporter who cannot use a digital ticket can request a physical one through a form on the notice and collect it from the host club's box office on matchday.
Buying for a group depends on the category. In a Friends & Family sale an eligible account can buy additional tickets up to the limit on the notice, with each ticket allocated to the person using it. In a Category B sale each buyer needs their own membership or season ticket. In a Category A sale every person has to qualify for the window that is open, so a supporter on 1,750 TAPs cannot bring a friend on 900 into the same window; the friend waits for a later one and takes whatever seat is left.
None of the notices sets out a way to pass an away ticket on to someone else. The club's position on misuse is on the record: its report on the 2025/26 season, published on 12 August 2026, says 432 memberships were revoked for ticket touting, and it credits digital ticketing with making misuse easier to trace.
Buying a Brentford Away Seat on 1BoxOffice
1BoxOffice is a resale marketplace, not Brentford's box office. Ticket options for the club's away matches depend entirely on what sellers make available, prices are set by those sellers and can sit above the £30 face value, and genuine away-section stock is scarce for the reasons above. Where a ticket option exists, the process is the same six steps for every trip.
Step1
Find the away match
Open the Brentford ticket options and select the trip, checking the host stadium and the date. Premier League kick-off times move for television, as Brighton away did when it shifted from Saturday 7 November to Sunday 8 November at 2pm, so do not book travel until the ticket is confirmed.
Step2
Create an account or log in
Set up an account by registering with 1BoxOffice so your delivery details and order history are saved before the seats you want are gone.
Step3
Select your seats
Filter by section and price. For an away trip, check that the block named sits inside the visiting section of that ground and not among home supporters, where a Brentford fan may be refused entry or removed. If the ticket option names a home block, treat it as a home seat: do not purchase a home-section ticket if you intend to support Brentford there.
Step4
Review the order
Confirm the match, quantity, section and delivery method shown at checkout. Brentford email their digital away tickets only in the days before the match, so expect delivery close to matchday and check which format the ticket option promises.
Step5
Complete payment
Pay securely to confirm the order. Under the 1BoxOffice terms and conditions, if tickets are not received and no alternative is offered, the buyer qualifies for a full refund. A separate goodwill credit voucher of up to 50% of the order value, excluding fees and taxes and capped at £125, may also be issued. This is not a 150% cash refund. Two other situations are covered by separate conditions. If a ticket is deemed invalid, the terms provide a refund of its original face value, excluding service fees. If a venue or organiser refuses entry, even with a valid ticket, the terms provide no refund or compensation.
Step6
Track the order
Follow delivery progress through Track Order, and on matchday carry photo ID, since host clubs can ask for proof of age on a concession ticket, as the Bournemouth notice warned.
Buying From Abroad: the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Beyond
Brentford have a membership built for supporters overseas. Bees Overseas costs £30 for 2026/27, and the club's guide for international fans is specific about what it covers away from home: Category B away matches (subject to availability) and Category A away matches only if the sale gets as far as all members. That makes Ipswich Town on 26 December and Coventry City on 30 December the realistic targets for a supporter flying in over the winter break.
Collection is where the detail matters. The overseas guide says away tickets must be collected from Brentford's own box office ahead of the match, while the individual notices tell overseas buyers to choose Print at Home or have the ticket held for matchday collection, and add that tickets are never posted abroad. The two instructions do not match, so read the notice for the specific match and confirm with the box office before booking flights.
Sales windows open in UK time. From late October to late March, a 3pm season ticket holder window is 7pm in the UAE and 6pm in Saudi Arabia, and a 2pm members' window is an hour earlier. The membership itself needs buying at least one working day ahead, since it activates at 11am UK time on the next working day.
If You Are the Visiting Fan: the Away End at the Gtech
The phrase also has a second meaning: supporters of other clubs looking for the away end at Brentford. Those tickets never pass through Brentford's membership system. The visiting club sells them to its own supporters on its own loyalty rules, and the numbers are tight. Visiting clubs have received 1,725 tickets this season, 10% of the Gtech's 17,250 capacity, and Tottenham's allocation for the opening day on 22 August 2026 went to season ticket holders with 410 of that club's ticketing points or more.
The away section covers Blocks N120, E116, E117, E216, E217 and E218, reached through Turnstiles F, G and H, which open 90 minutes before kick-off and are approached over the railway bridge from Capital Interchange Way. Liverpool's notice for their visit on 17 October 2026 priced adults at £30, over 65s and ages 18 to 24 at £25 and under 17s at £10, and described safe standing rails across the whole visitors' section. The Gtech Community Stadium seating plan shows where those blocks sit against the home stands.
Seats anywhere else in the ground are home seats, sold on home-supporter terms. Brentford's 2025/26 report recorded 343 breaches of ground regulations and said more than half involved away fans in home areas, which is a fair measure of how closely it is watched. Gtech Community Stadium tickets on 1BoxOffice cover the home matches still to come, among them Brentford vs Everton tickets on 23 November, Brentford vs Arsenal tickets on 2 December and Brentford vs Manchester City tickets on 5 December.
The 2026/27 Away Trips Still to Come
There are 15 Premier League away matches left from 8 November: six in Category A, five in Category B and four in Friends & Family. Remaining dates may change for television coverage or cup commitments, and on this season's pattern each sale should open between three and a half and six weeks before the match. The table lists every trip in date order with its category and the TAPs it pays. Each match name links to resale ticket options on 1BoxOffice, subject to availability.
| Away match | Date | Category | TAPs for attending |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brighton vs Brentford tickets | 8 November 2026 | B | 20 |
| Manchester United vs Brentford tickets | 28 November 2026 | A | 40 |
| Fulham vs Brentford tickets | 12 December 2026 | A | 15 |
| Ipswich Town vs Brentford tickets | 26 December 2026 | B | 30 |
| Coventry City vs Brentford tickets | 30 December 2026 | B | 40 |
| Arsenal vs Brentford tickets | 5 January 2027 | A | 15 |
| Everton vs Brentford tickets | 23 January 2027 | B | 40 |
| Nottingham Forest vs Brentford tickets | 6 February 2027 | Friends & Family | 30 |
| Crystal Palace vs Brentford tickets | 10 February 2027 | B | 20 |
| Newcastle United vs Brentford tickets | 27 February 2027 | Friends & Family | 50 |
| Sunderland vs Brentford tickets | 13 March 2027 | Friends & Family | 50 |
| Tottenham Hotspur vs Brentford tickets | 10 April 2027 | A | 15 |
| Manchester City vs Brentford tickets | 1 May 2027 | Friends & Family | 40 |
| Liverpool vs Brentford tickets | 15 May 2027 | A | 40 |
| Chelsea vs Brentford tickets | 30 May 2027 | A | 15 |
Read down the TAPs column and the trade-off is plain. The four Friends & Family trips are the easiest to buy and pay between 30 and 50 TAPs each, 170 in total. The four Category A matches whose ticket-sale details have yet to be announced pay 85 between them and are the hardest to get.
The club reserves the right to change a TAPs award, and by extension the feel of a sale, when a match moves to a less convenient slot. The final figure is the one on the sale notice, not the one in the summer guide.
Checks Before You Pay for a Resale Away Ticket
Under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, it is an offence in England and Wales for an unauthorised person to sell, or otherwise dispose of, a ticket for a designated football match. Brentford state that they can only vouch for tickets bought through their own ticketing site, with tickets from other sellers liable to be treated as invalid. The practical consequences can land on the buyer as much as the seller, so five checks are worth the time:
- Confirm the block is in the visiting section of that ground and not a home stand.
- Ask how a digital ticket will reach you, since Brentford email away tickets to the original buyer in the days before the match.
- Check the age band. A junior or senior ticket used by an adult can be refused at the turnstile, and Gen10 seats are priced for juniors only.
- Read the guarantee for what it covers (non-delivery), what it limits (a face-value refund for an invalid ticket) and what it excludes (refusal at the turnstile).
- Compare the price with the £30.30 a member pays, and decide whether the match is worth the premium before the kick-off time is confirmed, not after.
Every club runs its own version of this system, and the bars differ widely. The same exercise for other travelling supports is set out in the guides to Manchester United away, Arsenal away, Tottenham away, Liverpool away, Chelsea away, Manchester City away and Aston Villa away.
FAQs
1. How many TAPs do you need for Brentford away games?
-
Category B and Friends & Family away matches have needed no TAPs in 2026/27, while Category A sales opened at 2,090 TAPs for Bournemouth and 1,500 for Manchester United, with Fulham's scheduled to open at 1,700.
2. Can My Bees members buy away tickets?
-
My Bees members can buy in the second window of Category B sales, in the single window of Friends & Family sales and, for Category A matches, through a ballot holding 5% of the tickets or in later windows if any remain.
3. When do away tickets for Brentford matches go on sale?
-
Premier League away sales in 2026/27 have had their first window scheduled between 24 and 39 days before the match, at a UK time stated on each notice, while Carabao Cup sales opened between seven and 27 days ahead.
4. Is there a Brentford away season ticket?
-
Brentford's 2026/27 ticketing guide lists no away season ticket, so every away match is sold individually under its Category A, Category B or Friends & Family rules.
5. Do you get TAPs if you buy an away ticket but do not go?
-
Brentford's 2026/27 away notices state that TAPs are awarded only to supporters who attend the match, so an unused ticket earns nothing.
Getting into a Brentford away end through the club is a matter of category first and points second: join My Bees, target the Category B and Friends & Family trips, take any cup tie that comes up and let the TAPs build towards the Category A sales. For the supporter without that record, 1BoxOffice offers ticket options for Brentford's Premier League away matches where sellers make seats available, subject to availability and under the 150% money-back guarantee, with the block, delivery timing and price shown before any payment is taken.
