Buy Manchester City vs Everton tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Wednesday 3 March 2027 at 20:00 UK time at the Etihad Stadium. It is a midweek round of the Premier League, so the game sits in an evening slot that is less exposed to broadcast changes than a weekend fixture. For buyers in the Gulf, an 8pm start in Manchester lands at midnight UAE time.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
A floodlit Wednesday night at the Etihad is one of the more relaxed ways to see Manchester City live. The ground has grown with the North Stand expansion. A midweek visit from Everton typically offers a wider choice of seats than the headline weekend fixtures. It is a strong option for anyone who wants top-flight football in Manchester without paying derby prices.
The recent record favours the hosts heavily. City are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League home games against Everton, a run that began after Everton won here in December 2010. Everton will arrive hoping to revive the spell when they won four in a row at this ground.
City sell most home tickets to members before any wider sale. Even for fixtures that do not sell out instantly, the prime seats in the lower tiers and along the halfway line go early. The North Stand work is lifting capacity from around 53,400 towards 61,000, yet member demand absorbs much of that extra space.
Everton bring a loyal travelling support for the short trip along the M62. Their away allocation in the corner of the ground usually fills. Everton fans who miss out on that allocation add to demand in the general market, especially for a midweek game that is easy to reach after work.
This is also Everton's second season since leaving Goodison Park, their home for 133 years. Their new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock holds 52,888, so the club now has a far larger home base to draw its travelling support from.
If you are weighing up both meetings this season, the reverse fixture at Everton's new stadium is set for Tuesday 29 December 2026 at 20:15. The Merseyside leg comes during the busy festive programme, while the Etihad game falls in a quieter part of the calendar.
Value is the real story for this fixture. Current listings start at around £78, far below the prices for City's biggest home games. That makes it an ideal first visit to the Etihad for overseas fans and an affordable night out for groups.
Not through the club's general sale. City sell general admission tickets for home games to members. A Matchday Membership is needed to buy them, while the lower-priced Cityzens membership mainly lets you receive tickets transferred by season ticket holders rather than buy directly.
The club also runs a Ticket Exchange, where seats relisted by members can appear on the stadium map in the final weeks before a match. Some fixtures are further restricted to supporters with a history of buying tickets, which can rule out first-time buyers altogether.
That is where the marketplace helps. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats they already hold, so you can choose a stand, check the delivery method and buy without joining. For overseas visitors, neutral fans and groups wanting seats together, it is the simplest route into the Etihad for this fixture.
Membership makes sense if you live in the North West and plan to attend several games a season. For a single Wednesday night against Everton, joining just to buy one ticket rarely adds up.
Five things set the price of a seat for this match: where it sits in the stadium, overall demand, how close to kick-off you buy, the competition context and whether hospitality is included. A midweek game against Everton sits in a lower demand band than visits from title rivals, which keeps prices accessible. Current listings for this fixture range from around £78 to just over £1,000 for the top hospitality packages.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier (shortside or longside) | £85 – £185 | First visits and budget-focused buyers | The most affordable seats, with a full view from height |
| Shortside lower and middle tiers | £90 – £290 | Fans who want atmosphere behind the goals | Middle-tier seats near the corners give a good balance of view and price |
| Longside lower tier | £110 – £210 | Supporters who want to be close to the pitch | Side-on views from the East or West Stand |
| Longside central lower | £225 – £245 | Premium seating near halfway | The most central general admission seats; limited supply |
| Hospitality and VIP | £120 – £1,000+ per person | Corporate guests and special occasions | From off-site dining packages to the Tunnel Club; check inclusions |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Expect movement at two points. The first follows the reverse fixture in late December, when interest in the Etihad game tends to pick up. The second arrives in the final three weeks, when members release seats through the club's exchange and resale stock widens.
Because this fixture has plenty of listings, prices are less volatile than for City's headline games. Booking early still gives you the widest choice of seats together, which matters for groups.
The one area where supply is thin is the central lower longside. Only a handful of seats near halfway are listed at any time, so buyers set on that view should not wait for late releases. Upper-tier stock is far deeper and rarely runs short.
The Etihad is a large bowl with the three-tier South Stand, the East Stand (the Colin Bell Stand), the West Stand with the dugouts and the expanded North Stand. The North Stand development is taking capacity towards 61,000 and includes rail seating, while the South Stand houses much of the most vocal home support. Our Etihad Stadium seating plan breaks every tier down block by block.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Stand lower tier | Fans who want the loudest home atmosphere | Mid | Home to much of City's singing support; close to the away corner |
| South Stand middle and upper tiers | Budget buyers with a full view | Entry to mid | Steep upper tiers give an excellent overview of the pitch |
| East Stand (Colin Bell Stand) | Side-on views at a fair price | Mid | Faces the dugouts; corner blocks offer better value |
| West Stand | Central views and premium seating | Upper | The dugout side, with the club's main hospitality suites |
| North Stand | Fans who want to be part of the new home end | Mid | The expanded stand with rail seating; check listings for block details |
| Away section, south-east corner | Everton supporters | Away allocation | The corner where the South Stand meets the East Stand; Everton colours elsewhere in the ground risk ejection |
Two practical points matter on a March evening. Manchester can be cold and wet in March. Most seats are under cover, though the front rows of the lower tiers catch the weather. Bring a warm layer for a night game.
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are usually happiest in the East or West Stand, where polite applause for good football from either side draws no attention. If you are bringing children, choose seats away from the away corner and read the listing notes for age rules.

City's hospitality covers a wide spread, from off-site dining packages to seats behind the dugouts. The club's signature product, the Tunnel Club, lets guests watch the teams walk through a glass-walled players' tunnel. Current listings for this fixture include both lighter campus packages and premium lounges.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Media Zone (Campus Hospitality) | First-time hospitality guests on a budget | Dining on the club's campus before the game, paired with a general admission seat |
| Citizens Hospitality | Groups after a relaxed upgrade | Lounge access with food and drink plus padded seats |
| Tunnel Club | Guests who want to be close to the players | Viewing areas over the glass players' tunnel and a bowl-food menu before and after the match |
| Tunnel Club Premier | Special occasions and corporate guests | Heated seats behind the dugouts, pitchside access for the warm-up and five-course dining |
For a midweek fixture against Everton, hospitality is usually easier to secure than for the headline games. That makes it a good night to try a premium package for the first time.
When comparing packages, look at four things: whether drinks are inclusive, whether dining is a buffet or a served meal, where the seats sit relative to halfway and how early the lounge opens. Those details separate a pleasant upgrade from a memorable night.
Tickets at the Etihad are issued digitally. Screenshots may not be accepted at the turnstile. Load the live ticket on your phone or keep the original file to hand. Every route below ends with that digital ticket.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Digital ticket via the club app | That the seller will transfer the ticket to you and that your phone runs the latest version of the app |
| Mobile wallet ticket | That your phone supports wallet passes and the ticket appears before matchday |
| Hospitality confirmation | That it states your lounge, seat location and arrival time |
| Late release close to the match | When the seller expects to send the ticket; many arrive in the final 48 hours before kick-off |
Read the listing notes before you pay, as they set out the delivery method and any restrictions. Bring valid photo ID that matches your booking. If your ticket has not arrived by the day before the match, contact 1BoxOffice customer support with your order number.
Bag rules are strict and change from season to season, so check the club's current size limit before you travel. Laptops, tablets, large umbrellas, glass bottles and cans are not allowed in. The stadium is cashless, with cards and contactless payments only.
Plan the journey home before kick-off. Tram queues after an evening game can be long, so a hotel within walking distance of the city centre saves time once the final whistle goes. Groups splitting up after the match should agree a meeting point in advance, as the crowds leaving the campus make it easy to lose each other.
Getting there is easy. The Etihad Campus tram stop on the Metrolink is a few minutes' walk from the ground and around ten minutes from Manchester Piccadilly. Walking from the city centre takes 25 to 35 minutes, which can be quicker than the post-match tram queues.
1BoxOffice has been a verified ticket marketplace since 2006 and every order is backed by a 150% money-back guarantee, so the process below is the same whether you need two seats or ten.

Manchester is one of the easiest football trips in Europe. Manchester Airport has direct flights from across Europe and the Gulf. Trains run from the airport to Piccadilly in around 20 minutes, where you can pick up the tram to the Etihad Campus stop. Make sure your phone works on a UK network or roaming plan, because your digital ticket needs to be on your device.
The match falls before the UK clocks change on 28 March 2027, so Manchester is on GMT that night. Local start times for fans travelling or following from abroad:
A Wednesday evening kick-off means you can fly in that day and leave the next morning, though arriving the day before gives you a buffer. If you also want to see Everton at home, their new Hill Dickinson Stadium on the Liverpool waterfront is under an hour away by train. If you are travelling as a group, request seats together at the point of purchase and confirm the arrangement in the listing notes before paying.
City's first season at the stadium ended in style in May 2004, with a 5-1 win over Everton on the final day. The years that followed were far less comfortable: Everton won four straight league visits between February 2008 and December 2010, all under David Moyes. In that spell City failed to score in three of the four games.
Since then the balance has swung firmly the other way. City have gone 15 home league games against Everton without defeat, winning nine of them. The widest margin came on the final day of 2020/21, a 5-0 win before City lifted the title. That was also Sergio Agüero's farewell, with the club's record scorer coming off the bench to score twice.
The most recent meeting, a 2-0 home win in October 2025, extended the run again. Erling Haaland scored both goals in the second half after Everton had held firm for almost an hour.
The meeting before that showed how narrow the gap can be. On Boxing Day 2024 Bernardo Silva put City ahead, Iliman Ndiaye levelled before half-time and Jordan Pickford saved a Haaland penalty to secure a 1-1 draw. It remains the closest Everton have come to ending the run in recent seasons.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how sharply it has changed. Everton were once a difficult visit for City, yet they have not won here since 2010. Every Everton trip now carries the question of whether that run can finally end.
It is also a North West meeting with plenty of history between the cities. The short journey keeps the away corner busy. A midweek night under the lights gives the game its own atmosphere.
The figures below cover every Premier League meeting at the Etihad Stadium with Manchester City as hosts, from May 2004 to October 2025. City have kept eight clean sheets in those 23 games. Everton have kept five, four of them between 2004 and 2010.

Goals have been scarce at the visitors' end. Everton have scored only eight times in their last 15 trips to the Etihad and have not managed more than one goal in any of those games. City have scored 28 in the same run, close to two per match.
Low-scoring games are the norm here. Fifteen of the 23 meetings finished with two goals or fewer, while five of the last 15 ended 1-1. The pattern points to a match often settled by one moment, which keeps the crowd engaged to the final whistle.
