Our best tips

Weather

Manchester in October averages 8–14°C. Rain is common (roughly 22 days of the month), so a waterproof layer is essential, not optional.

Dress code

Smart casual is the standard in Premier League hospitality suites. Think collared shirts and smart trousers rather than replica kits. Most venues will turn away guests in sportswear or football shirts.

Don't forget

Arrive at Etihad Stadium at least two hours before kick-off to enjoy the full pre-match hospitality. Bring a valid photo ID, as most Premier League venues require one for entry.
