About Coventry Building Society Arena

Coventry Building Society Arena is a modern stadium and events complex located at 71 Phoenix Way in Foleshill, Coventry. Opened in 2005, it is also known as The CBS Arena and was formerly called the Ricoh Arena. The venue is owned by Coventry City FC following the club’s purchase of the stadium from Frasers Group, and it holds approximately 32,600 for football, with configurations that support concerts for 30,000+ and smaller setups for conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events.

The stadium is the home of Coventry City Football Club of the EFL Championship and hosts a broad mix of football matches, stadium-scale concerts, exhibitions and trade shows, conferences, meetings, banqueting, corporate events, and casino/leisure activity. Its history includes football matches during the London 2012 Olympic Games, rugby fixtures during the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and several seasons as the home ground for Wasps RFC. Major concert performers at the venue have included Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Oasis, Kasabian, and Rihanna.

With its enclosed stadium bowl, exhibition hall, conference facilities, casino, and on-site DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, Coventry Building Society Arena is known as a flagship multi-use sport, concert, and conference destination in the West Midlands.

Location & Transportation

Coventry Building Society Arena is located at 71 Phoenix Way, Foleshill, COV CV6 6GE, GB — immediately adjacent to the M6 and M69 motorways on the northern edge of Coventry.

Driving and Parking: Coventry Building Society Arena is one of the most car-accessible major stadiums in the UK, positioned directly beside the M6 at Junction 3 and close to the M69. Extensive on-site parking is available across stadium car parks, but lots fill for major matches and concerts, and exits can move slowly once large crowds leave at the same time. Arriving early is the best way to reduce stress around parking and approach-road congestion.

Transit: Coventry Arena railway station sits adjacent to the stadium, with services to Coventry and Nuneaton. Service frequency can be limited on event days, so planning the train portion of your trip in advance is important. Bus links also connect the site to Coventry city centre.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are straightforward through the surrounding road network. After large concerts and matches, expect waits and slow-moving traffic while car parks and approach roads clear.

Nearby Accommodation: An on-site DoubleTree by Hilton hotel is integrated into the arena complex. Additional lodging is available across Coventry and along the motorway corridor toward Coventry city centre and Birmingham.

Venue Navigation

Coventry Building Society Arena combines a modern enclosed stadium bowl with a wider events campus that includes exhibition halls, conference spaces, a hotel, and a casino. Knowing your stand, tier, and gate before you arrive helps you move efficiently through a large multi-entrance complex.

Entrances and Access: Multiple stadium entrances are distributed around the bowl by stand, with separate access points for the exhibition halls, conference centre, hotel, and casino. The adjacent Coventry Arena railway station feeds pedestrian approaches to the ground, while car parks surround the stadium complex.

Seating Levels: The stadium bowl has lower and upper tiers around the pitch, plus club seating, hospitality areas, and corporate box levels. Beyond the seating bowl, the complex includes exhibition and conference spaces used for trade shows, meetings, banqueting, and corporate events.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and facilities are provided as part of the modern purpose-built venue.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and stewards direct guests to the correct stand and tier. Because the stadium has multiple entrances across the complex, looking at the stand, tier, and gate listed on your ticket before arrival can save time once you reach the site.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, alcohol, flares and pyrotechnics, professional cameras and recording equipment, and large bags.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is typically not permitted once you have left the venue. Event-specific re-entry rules are shown on the event listing.

How Much Do Tickets to Coventry Building Society Arena Cost?

Coventry Building Society Arena ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Coventry City FC football to major stadium concerts.

For Coventry City FC Championship football, tickets are approximately £20–£45 for standard seating, with premium and hospitality options priced higher. Opponent, competition, seating tier, and match demand can all affect the final price, especially for marquee fixtures.

For concerts, tickets are approximately £40–£120+ depending on the act and seat location, with hospitality packages above that range. High-demand headliners, floor access, lower-tier seats facing the stage, and premium hospitality can push prices higher.

Buying earlier generally secures better seating options and prices for high-demand matches and concerts. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Coventry Building Society Arena Seating Guide

Coventry Building Society Arena uses a continuous enclosed bowl with lower and upper tiers around the pitch. For concerts, the pitch is converted into standing or seated floor areas, with the surrounding bowl oriented around the stage.

Best Seats at Coventry Building Society Arena

• Best value: Upper-tier and corner sections typically offer the most affordable seating, giving fans a broad view of the field or stage at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Pitchside lower-tier seating gets football fans nearest the field, while floor or standing areas nearest the stage offer the closest concert experience when that layout is used.
• Best overall experience: Central sections along the sides of the lower and upper tiers provide the strongest overall football sightlines. For concerts, lower-tier seats facing the stage and premium hospitality areas offer a strong balance of view, comfort, and atmosphere.
• Premium and suite options: Executive boxes, club seats, and hospitality lounges serve premium guests and groups, with packages that combine catering and seating.
• For groups: Executive boxes, hospitality lounges, and coordinated seating blocks work well for group outings, especially when purchased early for high-demand fixtures or concerts.
• General admission: General admission standing is offered on the floor for some concerts. Football seating is reserved.

Getting Ready for Your Coventry Building Society Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large stadium campus where car parks, station approaches, entrances, and concourses all get busy around major events.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile networks can become congested around large events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. The adjacent motorways help with access, but car parks and approach roads can become heavily congested before and after major events.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect standard stadium concourses and stairs, plus walking between car parks, Coventry Arena railway station, and your stand. Supportive shoes make the trip easier.
• Dress in layers. The open-air stadium bowl is exposed to weather, so layers and rain protection are useful for matches and outdoor concerts.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Coventry Arena railway station is adjacent to the stadium, but services can be limited on event days, and road traffic builds around major matches and concerts.
• Know your entrance. Your stand, tier, and gate appear on your ticket, and reviewing them before arrival helps you head to the right side of the complex.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
