General Information on Age Restrictions
Under 14s
Supporters under 14 are not allowed to enter the stadium without an adult over 18. As a result, and in line with reasonable adjustments, any supporter who is under 14 must attend with their parent or guardian and are required to pay the prevailing rate for both their seats. For the avoidance of doubt, this applies to all disabled supporters, whether walking ambulant or those who require the use of a wheelchair.
Over 14 and Under 18
Supporters over 14 and under 18 can enter the stadium unaccompanied, however they are not allowed to be responsible for another supporter. Only supporters over 18 can be responsible for a child under 18.
Groups
When visiting with groups of children or young people, it is important that the level of supervision is appropriate to their age group and their needs. In general, younger children need to be more closely supervised and will require a higher adult-to-child ratio.
The following are the adult-to-child ratios we recommend you work to when attending an event at Manchester City:
- Age 0-2: One adult to three children
- Age 2-3: One adult to four children
- Age 4-8: One adult to six children
- Age 9-12: One adult to eight children
- Age 13-18: One adult to ten children

Please note, the away ticket hotline is only switched on for away fixtures and cannot be contacted on any other days. For any queries prior to the matchday, please contact the ticket office so that they can update their records.
