Birmingham City set for bumper away following as important Championship clash sells out

Selling out away days is an easy feat for Birmingham City fans.

Birmingham City have sold out their initial allocation for their first Championship away fixture of the 2025/26 season, prompting a huge increase in seats made available for the trip to Ewood Park.

It didn’t take long for Bluenoses to snap up all 4,337 tickets available for the Blackburn clash and it comes as no surprise that they have as there’s so much hype for the upcoming campaign. Birmingham broke the world record with their 111-point tally in League One last term, while their eight new signings - soon to become nine with Rangers defender Ben Davies expected to return - are eager to make a good first impression.

Rovers have now handed Blues an extra 2,696 seats to form a mega away end at Ewood Park, taking the overall allocation to 7,033. Those tickets are now on general sale and are going quickly, so any fans hoping to go who are yet to secure their place should hurry. Regardless of whether Birmingham sell the rest of their share, the sheer volume of Bluenoses should make for an extraordinary atmosphere in Lancashire.

Birmingham fans always show up for their team

Blues have become rather renowned for their ridiculously impressive away support and there’s no sign of that slowing down with potentially more than seven thousand taking on the five-hour round trip. It was never in doubt, really, that Birmingham would have a full away end to kick off the season, but it’s not a given for lots of clubs in the Championship.

Those making the trip to Blackburn will be expecting a positive result to follow up whatever is in store for the first match of the season, a sold-out Friday night clash with Ipswich Town under the lights at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park. As it stands, Blues are among the favourites to gain promotion to the Premier League, so a strong start is predicted by many.
