AFC Bournemouth play at the Vitality Stadium, also known as Dean Court, in Kings Park on the east side of Bournemouth. With just over 11,000 seats it is the smallest ground in the Premier League, which makes tickets scarce. The stadium is being redeveloped in phases towards more than 20,000 seats. Pokesdown station is about a fifteen minute walk away.

About AFC Bournemouth

The Vitality Stadium is the smallest ground in the Premier League and you notice it straight away. The stands are close to the pitch, the crowd is right on top of the play, and with a full house the noise is surprisingly big for such a compact space. The ground sits in Kings Park, surrounded by trees and playing fields, which makes the walk up to a match calmer than in a big city.

The club is redeveloping the ground in phases. The corners are being filled in first, followed by a new south stand and an extension of the north and east stands. Capacity should eventually reach around 20,000. Football continues throughout the work, but the number of available seats changes from phase to phase.

Because the ground is so small, tickets for visits by the top clubs are hard to come by. Bournemouth itself is a seaside town on the south coast with a long sandy beach and a pier, which makes a match easy to combine with a weekend away. We arrange official tickets and hospitality with a confirmed seat.

The Vitality Stadium is on Dean Court Road in Kings Park, about three kilometres east of Bournemouth town centre. Pokesdown for Boscombe station is roughly a kilometre away, a fifteen minute walk via Christchurch Road and Gloucester Road. From Bournemouth Central it is around twenty-five minutes on foot along Holdenhurst Road, or take bus 2 and get off at Ashley Road, five minutes from the ground.

Hospitality at AFC Bournemouth

At AFC Bournemouth official hospitality sits in the lounges and business areas of the ground. The difference from a regular ticket is the seat and the service: a good seat centrally along the touchline, a dedicated entrance and food and drink before and after the match. In a ground with so few seats it is often also the only way to be certain of getting in for the bigger fixtures.

  • Hospitality from € 199 per person (indication)
  • Regular tickets from € 129 per person (indication)

This is the lowest price per type in our current range. The two figures may come from different fixtures, as prices vary considerably by opponent.
