Accessibility arrangements at the Etihad Stadium

Manchester City has allocated 25 wheelchair spaces for visiting supporters, with ambulant tickets also available. Accessible parking is limited to 14 spaces in Grey Car Park Gate 7, postcode M11 3DL. Supporters requiring accessible parking must email the Leeds United Disability Liaison Officer with their name, email, and registration number, and spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Complimentary audio descriptive commentary headsets are available for blind or partially sighted supporters from any seat, though fans must contact the Leeds United DLO in advance so the club can liaise with Manchester City. The Level 2 wheelchair bays do not have direct access to the visiting supporter concourse; entrance is via the hospitality entrance at South Reception, where visiting supporters will mix with home supporters when using facilities. Orders for in-seat food and drink service are taken up to 15 minutes before kick-off and up to five minutes after, with card payment only and no alcohol served in these locations.

Download digital tickets before deadline

Leeds United will email a digital ticket to each successful applicant no later than close of business on Monday 30 November. Digital tickets can be downloaded only once, and screenshots will not work at the turnstiles. Supporters are encouraged to download their tickets to their Apple or Google wallet before arriving at the stadium, and those requiring matchday assistance must travel with photo identification so Manchester City’s ticketing team can verify ownership.

The deadline to request a match ticket refund is midnight on Friday 27 November, giving supporters just under a week before the fixture to change plans if needed.

Age restrictions and supervision rules

Manchester City enforces specific age restrictions for visiting supporters. Children under 14 are not permitted to enter the stadium without an adult over 18, and any supporter under 14 must attend with a parent or guardian and pay the prevailing rate for both seats. This applies to all disabled supporters, whether ambulant or wheelchair users. Supporters aged 14 to 17 can enter unaccompanied but cannot be responsible for another supporter; only adults over 18 can supervise a child under 18. For groups, Manchester City recommends adult-to-child ratios ranging from one adult per three children aged 0 to 2, up to one adult per 10 children aged 13 to 17.

Official coach travel from Elland Road

For supporters preferring to travel with the club, official coach tickets are available at £33 for adults and £23 for concessions. The coaches depart from outside the East Stand at 4.15pm, and these prices also include the £1.50 booking fee. The 4.15pm departure gives supporters roughly three hours before the 7.30pm kick-off to make their way to the Etihad Stadium.

With ballots opening on Monday 9 November and digital tickets sent no later than Monday 30 November, supporters planning to attend the December fixture will need to watch the November dates closely.
