For the most committed Cottagers fans, Fulham Membership is a way to get closer to the club and earn loyalty points for better access to tickets. In this article we’ll do a deep-dive into every aspect of Fulham Membership.
A Complete Guide to Fulham Membership
With a magnificent new stand on the Thames and a measure of Premier League stability, it’s a fine time to be a Fulham Fan. If you’re thinking of taking your commitment to The Cottagers to the next level, we’ll give you the lowdown on Fulham FC Membership. We’ll cover all of the benefits of Fulham Membership, and won’t shy away from some of the drawbacks. We will also talk about the secondary market, as a fuss-free way of buying Fulham tickets for the biggest games.
Fulham Membership Types
The first thing to say about Fulham Membership is that it’s relatively straightforward. Instead of low-frills, full and premium tiers, there’s only one kind of FFC Membership for adults to purchase.
Fulham Adult Membership
At £50 a season, Fulham FC Membership is one of the priciest basic membership packages in the Premier League. Still, there are quite a few benefits wrapped up in that cost, some of which are unusual or unique to Fulham. We’ll list them below:
- Priority ticket access for all home league matches
- £10 discount on home league match tickets in the new Riverside Stand
- £5 discount on home league match tickets in the Johnny Haynes Stand and Hammersmith and Putney Ends.
- Access to the Fulham FC Ticket Exchange
- Priority access for Fulham away league tickets, after Season Ticket Holders
- 5% off full-priced merchandise from the Stadium Store on presentation of your Membership Card
- A personalised FFC Membership card
- Discount on official away coach travel
- A birthday e-card and exclusive digital content via email
- Access to PL2 and u18s fixtures at Motspur Park
- The opportunity to win prizes and money-can’t-buy experiences
Fulham Junior Membership
Costing £30, Fulham’s Junior Membership is a blanket package for all people aged 17 and under. Unlike other clubs, Fulham doesn’t break down junior membership into age-specific subcategories. In the last few season the club has also phased out membership welcome packs.
The big difference with Fulham Junior Membership, compared to the grown-up version, is that kids get the chance to attend exclusive junior events across the season. Junior Members, aged under 10, can also be entered into a draw to become a matchday mascot.
Beyond that, Fulham Junior Members are also entitled to a £5 discount of matchday tickets, anywhere in the ground. The rest of the benefits of full Fulham Membership apply to Junior Members, although the exclusive prizes are different.
Fulham Season Tickets
One upshot of the club attaining some top-flight stability is a massive rise in the season ticket price. Now, we should point out that the prices are reasonable compared to London clubs fighting at the top end of the Premier League. However, Fulham prides itself on its status as a community-oriented family club, and fans have raised their concerns about price gouging.
Going into the 2024-25 season the cheapest adult FFC season tickets could be found in the northernmost and southernmost ends of the historic Johnny Haynes Stand, at £455 a season. To see exactly where that is, check out our Craven Cottage seating plan guide.
The snazzy new Riverside Stand has the most expensive seats to go with the best views of the pitch and access to premium non-hospitality areas by the Thames. Fulham season tickets here range from £1,250 to £3,000. Throughout the ground Senior Fulham FC season tickets cost between £390 to £2,800, and from £150 to £2,500 for Juniors. We go into more detail in our guide to the Fulham Season Ticket waiting list.
Fulham Season Ticket Benefits
As we’ll show later on, Fulham Season Ticket holders hold quite a few advantages over other fans. We’ll lay out the main benefits now:
- A seat for all 19 Premier League home matches
- Access to the Fulham FC Ticket Exchange
- Priority access to buy tickets for away league matches, as well as home and away cup ties
- 10% off club merchandise at the Stadium Store
- Free entry to PL2 and u18 league games at Motspur Park or Craven Cottage
- Discounted official coach travel for Fulham’s away games
- Monthly prize draw for Away Mascot places (for Juniors only)
FFCtv Subscription
So, whether you’ve got a Fulham Membership or Fulham Season Ticket you will have something called a OneFulham Account. This is an online platform launched in 2020 to bring all of Fulham’s online logins and services, from ticketing to the online store, to one place.
You will also need your OneFulham Account if you want to access the club’s dedicated streaming service. This is FFCtv, which offers a range of features comparable to other Premier League video channels. One is live audio commentary of all of Fulham’s league and cup matches from Gentleman Jim and Jamie Reid, who have gone viral a few times over the last few years.
You can purchase a monthly FFCtv subscription at £5 a month, or get in early in the summer for a reduced seasonal subscription, usually for £45.
Buying Tickets with a Fulham Membership
For home games, Fulham Tickets go on sale around six weeks before a fixture. At the start of this sales window, Fulham Members get exclusive access to something called the Members’ Period where they can buy tickets on a first come, first served basis (one ticket per member). If there are any tickets left, they will end up on general sale, while FFC Season Ticket holders can re-list their tickets on the Fulham Ticket Exchange if they can’t attend.
Now, something to keep in mind is that you can’t just purchase a Fulham Membership when you feel like attending a match. If the ticketing information has already been announced for a fixture, it’s likely too late to purchase an FFC Membership and then get tickets. So, you need to become a Fulham Member well in advance of any matches you may want to attend.
To be on the safe side, you can never expect Fulham tickets for Premier League games to end up on general sale. They will all have been snapped up by Fulham Members and Season Ticket holders long before then, especially when the opponents are London rivals or prestigious teams like Liverpool and Manchester United.
Finally, availability for the most popular home games is administered on a loyalty points basis. We’ll talk about this system a little later. It helps avoid fans of more popular clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool purchasing tickets in the Fulham home blocks.
Does Buying a Fulham Membership Guarantee Me Tickets?
Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee you’ll get tickets with a Fulham Membership. However, the priority window does give you a much better chance of securing home tickets versus waiting for them to go on general sale.
What is the Fulham FC Ticket Exchange?
Offering one final chance for fans to purchase Fulham Tickets via official channels, the Fulham Ticket Exchange allows Season Ticket holders to relist their seat for other Fulham members. These are face-value transactions, and as opposed to money, the seller receives credit that can then be spent on future Fulham ticketing products—namely, a Fulham Season Ticket for the following campaign.
Historically, Craven Cottage hasn’t been a stadium that sells out every match, so the FFC Ticket Exchange hasn’t always been made available for every game. It will be opened when the stadium is close to capacity. Things have changed a little since the club’s return to the Premier League in 2022, as there are sellouts for most PL fixtures.
Fulham FC Members can use the Ticket Exchange right up until a couple of hours before kick-off. You select the area in which you want to sit and will then be shown the availability. After purchase, they will be issued a paper ticket that can be collected from the Collection Kiosks at the ground.
Buying Fulham Away Tickets With a Membership
Purchasing away tickets with a Fulham Membership is a completely different story to home tickets. In 2010, following the club’s momentous Europa League run, Fulham introduced a loyalty points system in an effort to make away ticketing a little fairer.
This replaced a first come, first served process, but the negative upshot is that it has created a hierarchy that favours long-term fans and leaves newcomers in the cold.
What happens is that, for the most popular away games such as Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the club makes tickets available for purchase according to how many points fans have accrued.
Typically the initial threshold will be 1,000 points, and then will gradually reduce by 100 points day by day until Fulham’s away allocation has sold out. Fulham Season Ticket holders get priority, which means they will usually be the only ones who are able to buy tickets for Fulham’s away games via official channels.
To give you an idea of how hard it is to build up that kind of total, here’s a breakdown of how Fulham loyalty points are allocated:
- 50 Points if you purchase a Season Ticket
- 25 Points if you purchase a Membership
- 2 Points for attending a home league game on a Saturday, any home cup game, or an away league game in London
- 3 Points for attending a home league game midweek, or an away league game in the Midlands/South of England, or any away cup game
- 4 Points for attending any televised home game
- 5 Points for attending an away cup game in the North of England
So you can see how long-term or highly dedicated Fulham fans have a massive advantage over others when purchasing away tickets via official channels. For further reference, we’ve published a complete guide to Premier League away ticket allocations.
As we mentioned above, several of the more prestigious home league games are also sold on a loyalty points basis.
Can I Become a Fulham Member at Any Point in the Season?
Yes you can, right up until the final months of the season. Fulham Memberships go on sale in July before the start of the new campaign. From around February, with the end of the season approaching, FFC Memberships are usually available at half-price. As we mentioned, you need to secure your Fulham Membership well in advance of the sales window for matches you want to attend.
Can the Cost of My Fulham Membership Increase?
As with every aspect of being a Fulham fan, the cost of a Fulham Membership has risen since the club found its feet in the Premier League. Since 2021 the cost of an adult FFC Membership has jumped from £40 to £50, while Fulham Junior Membership has risen from £30 to £50.
Is there a Waiting List to Become a Fulham Member?
In a way, yes. Fulham Memberships do sell out as the season progresses, and there is a gap at the end of the season before FFC Memberships go on sale for the next campaign. During this period you can register your interest for membership by joining a waiting list on the club’s website.
While some teams operate a waiting list for certain membership tiers that offer special privileges, Fulham’s various memberships are available to everyone before the start of each new season.
Can I Stagger the Cost of my Fulham Membership throughout the Year?
No, while the club does offer finance plans for FFC Season Tickets, you have to pay for a Fulham Membership up front with one payment.
Fulham FC Seasonal Hospitality Membership
Under development from 2020 to 2024, the new Riverside Stand has bumped up Fulham’s seasonal hospitality portfolio. Before, premium experiences were isolated to the boxes on the sides of the stands, while the lucky few could watch the game from the historic Craven Cottage between the Putney End and Johnny Haynes Stand.
Now Fulham can offer “Best in Class'' hospitality at the Riverside Stand with riverside scenery in most lounges, and the very best views of the pitch from luxury padded seats. Here’s an overview of the plush new lounges and restaurants at the Riverview Stand, and what they offer:
- Matchday Plus, featuring a lounge/bar with a dedicated entrance and complimentary half-time drinks
- Thames Bar Room, with all-inclusive drinks pre-game, at half-time and after the game, and a shared dining space
- The Dugout, an underground lounge that offers pitch access pre-game, complimentary drinks, small plates, and seats behind the dugout
- The Originals, with a chef’s buffet, views of the Thames, a shared dining space and an informal atmosphere
- The Brasserie, featuring fine dining by a Michelin-star chef, an open-air riverside terrace,a dn seats on the halfway line
- The Gourmet, boasting a five-course à la carte menu, floor-to-ceiling views of the river, and the best seats in the house
- Sky Deck, which grants access to all of the lounges and restaurants listed above, along with a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the stadium and river
Exact prices are kept under wraps by the club, but one of the more expensive packages is The Gourmet, at £10,000 a season. As expensive as that sounds, it’s not as pricey as The Executive Club at Stamford Bridge (£12,500), The Tunnel at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (£16k), or the Diamond Club at the Emirates (£35k).
Can I Purchase Hospitality Tickets with a Fulham Membership?
Being a Fulham Member only helps your chances of buying General Admission tickets, and is separate from the club’s range of Seasonal Hospitality packages. So unfortunately the answer to that question is “no”.
Which Legends Can You Meet in Fulham Seasonal Hospitality Lounges?
As with all clubs, Fulham’s hospitality is bolstered by the presence of some famous cottagers of old. The lineup of Fulham legends changes from season to season, and from game to game. Naturally, there’s no guarantee for who you’re going to meet. However, there were two Fulham heroes active in the 2024-25 season.
One was Les Strong, a committed full-back who came through the Fulham youth ranks to make 427 appearances for the Cottagers in the 1970s and early 80s, which puts him in the top ten of all time.
The other is Gordon Davies, the prolific Welsh striker who remains Fulham’s all-time top-scorer with 178 goals in 450 appearances.
Buying Fulham Tickets without a Membership
Occasionally Fulham FC tickets for a few fixtures do sneak through to general sale. A few circumstances that might cause this are a midweek fixture, a game against unglamorous opponents, or perhaps an extended poor run of form at the club.
Until recently Fulham bounced between the top two divisions, and it’s no surprise that you could get FFC tickets more easily when the team was in the Championship.
For now, there’s usually a little more availability for Fulham’s home cup games, especially in the earlier stages of the EFL Cup.
We should also point out (again) that you do not have access to the Fulham Ticket Exchange if you don’t have an FFC Membership. Learn more about how to buy Premier League tickets without a membership.
Buying Fulham FC Tickets on the Secondary Market
Purchasing a season-long Fulham FC Membership might not make a lot of sense if you’re only going to buy Fulham tickets for one or two games a season.
The loyalty points won’t be worth much, and you may need to think carefully about when you buy a Fulham Membership for it to be valid for priority ticket access or access to the Fulham Ticket Exchange.
In that case, it may be worth hunting for Fulham tickets on the secondary market. Ticket Compare compiles tickets from leading marketplaces and official hospitality resellers, all of which have earned their trust and have verified online reviews.
Purchasing Fulham tickets this way can take out some of the doubt, particularly if you have a specific match that you’re basing travel plans around. Or it could be you’ve hit a wall in your search for Fulham vs Cheslea tickets, and absolutely have to attend.
