Membership & Priority Access. You don’t need a membership, but non-members seldom access Premier League home tickets, as demand is very high. Types of priority access (in order): Season ticket holders followed by MyAlbion+ members and General sale, which often only occurs once other windows pass. New members face a 14-day cooling-off period, so join early to be eligible
Ticket Exchange (Official Resale). Once a match sells out, Season Ticket holders and MyAlbion+ members can list unwanted tickets at face value plus a small fee. Resale tickets are automatically displayed on the official portal—great chance to snag a seat.
