Bournemouth head into the new season in buoyant mood, having recorded their joint-best Premier League finish. The Cherries ended the 2024/25 campaign in 9th spot, the same place they finished during the 2016/17 season, and they also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for only the third time in the club’s history.
With Bournemouth fans’ expectations growing, demand for Premier League match tickets at the Vitality Stadium, which has the lowest EPL capacity of just over 11,000, is always going to be high. Let GOAL help guide you through the process of purchasing tickets to see Bournemouth in action.
There were a few anxious faces on the South Coast when news that Andoni Iraola was taking over the Bournemouth reins from Gary O'Neil in the summer of 2023, but the Spaniard's arrival has helped create numerous positive and memorable moments for the Cherries over the past two seasons.
Bournemouth bagged a club record Premier League tally of 48 points during Iraola's first campaign in charge, and they broke that again last season when finishing in the top half of the table with 56 points.
There were momentous victories over Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham at the Vitality before Christmas, which helped them reach a peak of 5th spot. In addition, there were also impressive successes on the road against Man Utd, Newcastle and Arsenal (which meant they did the double over the Gunners).

History of the Vitality Stadium
The Vitality Stadium (formerly known as Dean Court) is a football stadium in Boscombe, a suburb of Bournemouth, which has been the home ground of AFC Bournemouth since 1910.
It has a current capacity of 11,307, which is the lowest in the Premier League. The ground was completely rebuilt in 2001, with the pitch rotated ninety degrees from its original position.
Although it was redeveloped as a three-sided stadium with a capacity of 9,600, seats were placed on the undeveloped south end in the autumn of 2005.
In April this year, Bournemouth owner Bill Foley announced that instead of building a new stadium, the club were planning to redevelop the ground over the next few years. They hope to expand capacity to around 20,000 with the potential of maybe increasing that to even 23,000, without the need to close the stadium.
The Vitality Stadium has also hosted several England Under-21 Internationals, the most recent of those being England vs Ukraine Euro U-21 Qualifier in October last year, which England won 2-1. Manchester City’s James McAtee scored goals in the 88th and 92nd minutes to break Ukraine's hearts.
