Manchester City will offer Premier League tickets from as little as £5 with the club launching a new initiative.
The Citizens will begin the trial scheme for 2026-27 for residents who live near the stadium.
Adults nearby can purchase Premier League tickets for £10, with around 100 to 500 being at the discounted rate.
The initiative targets residents in wards surrounding the ground, who can apply for reduced-price entry to all top-flight home fixtures alongside selected domestic cup and European ties.
Concession holders can access tickets for £7.50, while under-18s will only have to pay £5.
To qualify for the discounted tickets, applicants must reside in specific Manchester City Council wards that encompass the stadium’s vicinity.
Eligible areas include Ancoats & Beswick, Clayton & Openshaw, Gorton & Abbey Hey, Ardwick, and Miles Platting & Newton Heath.
Those wishing to participate will need to submit proof of their postal address when applying.

Danny Wilson, the club’s managing director of operations, said: “Manchester City has always been rooted in its community and, as we grow, we want to ensure people who live closest to the Etihad Campus remain part of everything that happens here.
“We know matchdays bring significant social and economic opportunities to the area.
