لشراء تذكرة موسمية، يجب أن تكون أولاً عضواً في "Cityzens Matchday" أو "Junior"، حيث لا تُباع التذاكر الموسمية للجمهور العام. ومع ذلك، فإن التذاكر الموسمية لموسم 2025/26 نفدت بالكامل حالياً، وتم تقديم عدد محدود فقط من "التذاكر الموسمية المرنة" (Flexi Season Tickets) للأعضاء المؤهلين بناءً على تاريخ حضور المباريات ونشاط الشراء.

لقد انتهت فترة التجديد لحاملي التذاكر الحاليين، ولن تتوفر تذاكر جديدة بشكل واسع حتى موسم 2026/27 على الأقل، وهو الموعد المتوقع لانتهاء توسعة استاد الاتحاد التي ستوفر المزيد من المقاعد.

للاستعداد للتوفر المستقبلي، يجب عليك شراء عضوية "Cityzens Matchday" عبر الموقع الرسمي وحضور أكبر عدد ممكن من المباريات المنزلية؛ حيث تعتمد الأولوية في الحصول على التذاكر الموسمية على الولاء ونسبة الحضور.
