Eddie Howe's side begin their English top-flight campaign with a trip to Villa Park on Saturday, 16th August (kick-off 12:30pm (BST) and, following consultation with Newcastle United season ticket holders, a revised process will be introduced for selling away match tickets for the 2025/26 season in response to our survey, which saw over 8,000 season ticket holders cast their vote on the away ticket allocation process.

Outlined below are the key dates and timings for the Aston Villa ticket sale:

Phase 1 - Monday 28th July – 2pm

Ticket application opens for all Season ticket holders to apply for a ticket for this fixture.

Phase 2 - Tuesday 29th July – 2pm

Ticket application window closes. The club will process all submissions, allocating tickets in loyalty point order We will also ballot a small number of tickets to those who do not meet the loyalty points threshold.

Phase 3 - Wednesday 30th July – 2pm

Supporters who are successful in the application process will now be emailed with a window to go online and purchase their ticket(s) for the fixture. Tickets will be sold using a ‘select your own seat’ model, giving fans the flexibility to choose where they sit and who they sit alongside - whether friends or family.

This system removes the need for travel groups as supporters can make seat selections directly during the purchase window.

Phase 4 - Friday 1st August – 2pm

Once the purchase window for successful applicants closes, any remaining tickets that haven’t been purchased will be offered to those who applied for the fixture and fall within the next tier of loyalty points below the point at which sales were previously fulfilled. For example, a fixture sells out at 10 loyalty points, tickets will then be offered to supporters who applied for tickets with 9 loyalty points.
