When and where Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea kicks off

As a Premier League fixture against one of the division's better-supported away followings, tickets for this match can move quickly, particularly in the away allocation and the home sections closest to the pitch.

Getting to the City Ground

The City Ground sits on the banks of the River Trent, a short walk from Nottingham railway station and Nottingham's city centre. Given the compact streets around the stadium, arriving with plenty of time before a 15:00 kick-off is a sensible approach.

Choosing the right seats

Home and away supporters are seated in separate stands at the City Ground, so checking which section a listing covers is important before buying. Fans travelling to support Chelsea should look specifically for tickets in the away allocation.

Within the home areas, seats set further back and higher up generally offer a fuller view of the pitch, useful for following the overall pattern of play, while seats nearer the pitch put fans closer to the action but with a narrower field of view.

Comparing prices for this fixture

Ticketsfootball.net compares prices for Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea across StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365. As with any fixture involving one of the league's larger clubs, resale prices can vary noticeably between partners, so comparing several before buying is the best way to secure fair value.

Comparing similar categories of ticket across different sellers is also worthwhile, since listings described in comparable terms can carry different prices depending on the partner. Booking ahead of matchday week generally gives a wider choice of seating areas at the City Ground than leaving a purchase until the final few days.

Matchday atmosphere at the City Ground

The City Ground sits directly on the River Trent, giving it one of the more distinctive settings in the Premier League, with a compact bowl that keeps supporters close to the pitch on all sides. First-time visitors will find the concourses and stand layout straightforward to navigate.
