I don't live in the city, can I still apply?

This is one of the questions we get asked most often. The short answer is yes, you can apply for a Citycard whether you are a city resident or not. The only difference is that city residents qualify for enhanced discount at some events and facilities such as the Splendour Festival.

Aged between 18 - 60 years old

The Adult Citycard helps you make more of the City for less. The card is not only free to everyone but also offers the benefits of discounted travel along with great retail, leisure and library savings. You can apply for an Adult Citycard at any city leisure centre, library or the NCT Travel Centre.

If you are a city resident you'll need to bring proof of your address with you when you apply

Aged under 18 years old

If you're under 18 years old you can get your hands on a Citycard 360. The Citycard 360 gives you all the benefits of the adult card including discounted travel, great retail discounts and library and leisure centre access. Currently you can only apply for a Citycard 360 at the NCT travel centre.

Please note, you will need to bring proof of age, along with proof of address if you are a city resident when applying for a Citycard 360

Aged under 11

The under 11 Citycard has all the same benefits as the Adult Easyrider Citycard and Citycard 360. You can apply for an under 11 Citycard at any library, leisure centre or the NCT Travel Centre.

Please note, you will need to bring proof of age, along with proof of address if you are a city resident when applying for an Under 11 Citycard
