FA Cup Quarter-Final Ticket Prices: All Four Ties
SeatPick aggregates listings from trusted resellers across the secondary market, so you can compare prices in one place. Here's where each tie currently stands ahead of the April 4 weekend.
| Date | Event + Venue | Starting Price (£) |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend of 4 Apr 2026 | West Ham vs Leeds United, London Stadium | £55 |
| Weekend of 4 Apr 2026 | Manchester City vs Liverpool, Etihad Stadium | £96 |
| Weekend of 4 Apr 2026 | Southampton vs Arsenal, St Mary's Stadium | £99 |
| Weekend of 4 Apr 2026 | Chelsea vs Port Vale, Stamford Bridge | £146 |
West Ham vs Leeds: The Best Value Quarter-Final
West Ham vs Leeds United is the clear best-value tie of the round, with tickets starting at just £55 at London Stadium. Both clubs are fighting relegation in the Premier League, which adds a fascinating edge to what is a rare cup run for both sides.
It's worth noting that West Ham only confirmed their place after beating Brentford on penalties on Monday night, so ticket demand has not had as long to build. Expect prices to move quickly now the draw is confirmed.
Demand may also correlate with how both teams are performing in the Premier League with some huge games ahead. West Ham and Leeds also meet on the final day of the season too.
Manchester City vs Liverpool: The Glamour Tie
Manchester City vs Liverpool at the Etihad is the standout fixture of the quarter-finals. It's also the most well-stocked tie on the resale market, with over 1,400 listings already available, and starting prices of £96 make it surprisingly accessible for a match of this magnitude.
This adds to an already brutal stretch for Pep Guardiola's side. City face Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg tomorrow, then again at the Etihad on March 17, before the Carabao Cup Final against Arsenal on March 22. The FA Cup quarter-final on April 4 comes just two weeks after that.
Manchester City's April Crunch: Comparing Ticket Prices
For any City fan trying to decide which games to prioritise, here's a look at how the upcoming fixture costs stack up against each other across all competitions.
| Date | Event + Venue | Starting Price (£) |
|---|---|---|
| 11 Mar 2026 | Real Madrid vs Man City, Santiago Bernabeu | £77 |
| 17 Mar 2026 | Man City vs Real Madrid, Etihad Stadium | £125 |
| 22 Mar 2026 | Arsenal vs Man City (Carabao Cup Final), Wembley | £201 |
| Weekend of 4 Apr 2026 | Man City vs Liverpool (FA Cup QF), Etihad Stadium | £96 |
| 12 Apr 2026 | Chelsea vs Man City, Stamford Bridge | £241 |
| 19 Apr 2026 | Man City vs Arsenal, Etihad Stadium | £212 |
The FA Cup quarter-final is actually the cheapest of City's next six big fixtures, making it a relative bargain compared to the Premier League run-in. The Chelsea away game on April 12 is the most expensive on the list at £241, reflecting just how much is at stake in the title race.
Southampton vs Arsenal: A Bargain for a Potential Giant Killing?
Southampton vs Arsenal at St Mary's starts from £99, which is good value considering Arsenal are pushing for the quadruple and Southampton are eighth in the Championship. The Gunners beat Portsmouth, Wigan Athletic and Mansfield Town to get here, all three from outside the top flight, without facing a single Premier League side.
Arsenal could reach the semi-final without meeting top-flight opposition all season. Every Arsenal match right now is a big event and there should be plenty of ticket demand for this one as the date approaches.
Chelsea vs Port Vale: Why Is It So Expensive?
Chelsea vs Port Vale is the priciest quarter-final on the resale market despite being a near-certain home win for the Blues. Port Vale are bottom of League One, and this is their first FA Cup quarter-final since 1954.
Stamford Bridge pricing tends to run high regardless of the opposition, and Chelsea are among the most in-demand clubs on the secondary market. The novelty of a fairytale underdog run also brings in neutral fans hoping to witness history.
How Much Are FA Cup Final Tickets?
The FA Cup Final takes place on 16 May 2026 at Wembley Stadium, with the semi-finals on April 25. With the finalists yet to be confirmed, tickets are already listed from £653 on the secondary market, reflecting just how early demand builds for a Wembley final.
With the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea expected to progress and the winner of Manchester City vs Liverpool also highly fancied to win the FA Cup, final tickets will likely only increase from here.
