How to Get the Best Women’s Football Tickets (and YOUR Best Seat in the House)

Whether you’re new to football, heading to your first match, or just want a breakdown on how to get the best tickets women’s football has to offer, you’ve come to the perfect place.We’re breaking down everything you need to know to secure your spot, and match your seat to your matchday vibe.

Step One: Do the Admin (Sorry, but it’s true)

If you want the seats you’re eyeing, you’ve got to be on it when tickets drop. Most clubs (and England) have early-bird sales, so make sure you’re signed up for ticket alerts and newsletters - that’s how you get that golden early access.

And here’s a big one: membership. A lot of clubs (Arsenal and Chelsea included) require you and your friends to have (free) memberships before you can buy tickets. So, get everyone signed up and linked in the ‘Friends & Family’ section before sale day. It’ll save you from panicking when the site suddenly asks for five different membership numbers mid-checkout.

Step Two: Choose Your Vibe

For the social fan: If you’re there for a good time and a good drink, look out for clubs trialing drinking in the stands this season. The rule varies club to club, but if you fancy a pint in your seat (and the bragging rights to tell your dad you can), this is your zone. Remember to drink responsibly, though, and strictly no missing goals for a beer run.

For the loud and proud fan: If you love a chant, like shouting at the ref, and want to feel in the game, go for the lower tier, as close to the pitch as you can. That’s where the atmosphere lives, and where the players can actually hear you.

For the celebration chasers: Sit behind the goal or near a corner flag. Perfect for catching the team’s celebrations, spotting goals before anyone else, and snapping that mid-corner moment for the camera roll.

For the analyst: Club level is where you’ll get the best tactical view (and usually better snacks, too). Chelsea Women even offer a bottomless brunch experience up there, though, we can’t promise you’ll be doing much analysing after a few drinks…

If club level is out of budget, upper tier is your next best bet. A full bird’s-eye view, ideal for seeing every play unfold, and it’s usually much cheaper. I recommend the upper tier if you’re going to a neutral game. This way, you’re not amongst fans in the lower tiers who might be chanting along with team-specific songs you don’t know, but you’re still up high enough to enjoy a clear, full view of the pitch. It’s the perfect spot to take in the atmosphere from a neutral perspective and truly watch the football. Just maybe avoid it if heights aren’t your thing.

Step Three: Find Your Section

Some clubs (like Arsenal and England) have ‘Bring the Noise’ sections which are perfect if you want to belt out chants and be surrounded by fellow superfans.For families or quieter fans, check for ‘Family Areas’.  You’ll still have the atmosphere, just with fewer colourful chants in earshot.

Step Four: Exit Strategy

Big stadiums = big crowds. If you like a quick getaway, check the stadium map before you book. For example, at Wembley, seats closer to Wembley Way get you out quicker and straight toward Wembley Park (or Boxpark, let’s be real) before the rush hits.

No matter where you sit, make the most of it. Soak in the chants, the chaos, and the 90 minutes that fly by way too fast. There’s no bad seat when the football’s good.
