Following the announcement that the lower tier of the new Riverside Stand will open to supporters next season, the Club is able to share details around Season Ticket options for this area for the 2022/23 season.
The opening of the Riverside Stand Lower Tier represents a significant moment in the history of Craven Cottage and will accommodate more than 2,000 supporters.
As previously outlined, seats will initially be available to purchase for one season only. In line with commitments made when the development first began in 2019, previous Riverside Season Ticket Holders who still hold an active Season Ticket will be offered priority to purchase a seat in this stand.
PRIORITY GROUPS
Priority groups for the temporary 2022/23 seating season have been devised to ensure that fans who want to take up the offer of a seat in the new stand have the option to purchase a seat in a similar (albeit not identical) location to where their seat was previously located in the Riverside Stand during the 2018/19 season.
Given the highly contemporary configuration, the new stand is different to the old Riverside Stand and not all seats will be an exact like-for-like; locations will be much improved and include padded seating.
The new Riverside Stand now boasts some of the very best seats available to take in the match action at Craven Cottage, providing an intimate experience like never before. Every effort has been made to identify blocks that would equate to a similar location as occupied in the old stand.
Season Ticket Holders who meet the initial criteria for this offer will be issued with a priority window of when they are eligible to purchase their new Season Ticket, which will be communicated in advance via both email and post.
SALES WINDOWS & HOW TO BUY
- When a priority window opens, fans in this group will be able to log in to tickets.fulhamfc.com, view and select seats from the blocks available;
- Seats will be sold from the centre of the stand outwards, available to purchase for a limited period of time on a first-come-first-served basis;
- Once a priority window closes, blocks and seats will then be offered to the next group, and so on;
- Each priority window will last seven days with the first window opening at 10am on 29th March 2022;
- Fans who do not purchase a seat during their allocated priority window will not be able to purchase during other sales windows and will have to wait until all of the priority windows have ended;
- Supporters will be able to purchase their seat in full or use the Club’s instalment plan option – fulfilled by finance provider V12 – allowing fans the opportunity to spread the cost of their Season Tickets;
- A seat move window, along with the ability to purchase additional seats, will take place following the completion of all priority group windows;
- Should any seats remain after all ex-Riverside Season Ticket Holder priority periods have ended, an option for Season Ticket Holders in all other areas of the ground will take place.
During the Season Ticket Holder priority purchaser windows, all 2022/23 Season Tickets in the Riverside Lower Tier will be priced at £1,000 for adults and concessions (65 and over, 18-21 years) and £500 for under-18s.
Supporters will have access to the Lower Tier concourse. Whilst this area will also continue to be developed to its final design during the campaign, there will be food and beverage facilities as well as concourse entertainment available inside and outside.
2022/23 Season Ticket renewals for the other three areas of Craven Cottage – Hammersmith & Putney Ends and the Johnny Haynes Stand - will launch in May 2022.
Seat Views
As the construction phase continues, fans will not be able to attend Craven Cottage to view seats in person. However, supporters should use the Club’s 3D seat tool to gain an understanding of the different types of views available from the new stand ahead of their purchasing window.
Please note, in line with the old Riverside Stand, the very central block of the Lower Tier will be available for Hospitality guests.
FRIENDS & FAMILY
It is important that supporters ensure they have linked any Family and Friends to their network to be able to process their booking in one transaction. Please note, however, that all members of the network must be eligible to purchase a seat during the window in which you are attempting to buy.
Friends and Family can be added to your ticketing profile by visiting tickets.fulhamfc.com/account
Additional seats for friends and family not currently in a priority group can be purchased after the initial priority windows close, subject to any remaining availability.
ACCESSIBLE SEATING
Season Ticket Holders who previously held a Riverside Season Ticket and are registered as requiring accessible seating will be contacted directly by the Fulham FC Ticket Office.

SEASONAL HOSPITALITY
Seasonal Hospitality guests will be available to occupy a seat in the Lower Tier next season, with Fulham Palace continuing to offer a unique pre-match experience at each game. In line with the old Riverside Stand, the central block of the Riverside Lower Tier will be available for Hospitality guests.
Seasonal clients will be contacted by their respective Account Managers with details of how to buy for 2022/23 season.
NEW RIVERSIDE STAND FULL OPENING
Results from an independent survey conducted by the Fulham Supporters’ Trust (FST) relating to the migration of supporters back to the Riverside indicated there is huge enthusiasm from former Riverside Season Ticket Holders, as well as supporters in other parts of the ground, wishing to explore seating options.
As referenced in previous meetings with the FST, there will be two phases to the migration of fans into the Riverside – temporary for one season and long-term – with the first of these phases beginning imminently, in readiness for 2022/23 season.
Should any current ex-Riverside Season Ticket Holders who opt to renew their existing seat and do not wish to take up a seat in the stand during 2022/23 season, their priority access to purchase in the future will not be affected. These supporters will also be offered a renewal price for their current seat within Craven Cottage later this summer.
Similarly, fans who do purchase seats in the Lower Tier for 2022/23 season will retain their priority to buy should they wish to move to other areas of the new Riverside Stand or hospitality options, from 2023/24 onwards.
Hospitality and Season Ticket sales for the full opening of the new Riverside Stand will commence during the 2022/23 campaign.
