Frequently asked questions

With the Premier League's popularity arguably never as big as it is now, it can be a fight to get tickets to catch a match. However, it is not impossible to land a seat.

Explore all options available through the club's ticket portal for official tickets, as well as through secondary ticket hubs like StubHub and Ticombo. There may be late-breaking ticket drops or varied resale options available the nearer you get to a particular fixture.

On some occasions, you can buy Fulham tickets without a club membership. However, you will not be in an advantageous place to get the jump on other fans who are. Club membership gives you priority when purchasing tickets for games at Craven Cottage.

Adult - £50.00
Junior - £30.00

The club has introduced a Membership+ option as well, albeit for a limited time. You will get all the facilities of a standard membership and a £20 online retail voucher and an exclusive member gift. However, you have to use the retail voucher by August 31, 2025. Prices are:

Adult - £65.00
