🏟

What do you need to know?

Emirates Stadium holds over 60,000 fans and is one of the Premier League's most modern venues. Located in Holloway, North London, the stadium is easily accessible via Arsenal or Holloway Road tube stations. Match tickets are in high demand, especially for Premier League clashes and European games.

⭐

Our tip

The Emirates area is extremely crowded on matchdays – arrive at least an hour early. Grab a pre-match bite at The Tollington or Piebury Corner, which is famous for its football-themed pies and also beloved by Gooners (Arsenal Fans)!

🎵

The history and atmosphere

The crowd singing "Good Old Arsenal" before kick-off sets the tone – a tradition dating back to the 1971 Double winners. Arsenal moved to Emirates Stadium in 2006 after 93 years at the legendary Highbury. The club, founded in 1886, is one of England's most successful with 13 league titles.

👀

What to expect

The Clock End and North Bank loyal supporters drive the atmosphere, especially during big matches. The modern facilities offer excellent sightlines from every seat, while the stadium's design keeps the crowd noise intense.

How to find Cheap Arsenal Tickets

Getting tickets to the Emirates is brutal. Arsenal's resurgence under Mikel Arteta has sent demand through the roof, and with over 75% of the stadium's 60,704 seats reserved for season ticket holders, match-by-match tickets are incredibly scarce.

So how do you actually get your hands on tickets without paying a fortune or falling for a scam? We've broken it down into the approaches that actually work.

The official route: great prices, brutal odds

Arsenal operates one of the most structured ticketing systems in English football. Face-value tickets range from around £37 to £141 depending on the match category and seat location. The catch? You'll need a membership, patience, and a fair bit of luck.

1. Red Membership

Arsenal's Red Membership (£36/year) is your gateway to face-value tickets. Unlike most clubs where you simply buy tickets when they go on sale, Arsenal operates a ballot system for all Premier League, FA Cup, and European matches.

Here's how it works: ballots open 4-6 weeks before each fixture and run for 72 hours. You register your interest, and if successful, you're automatically charged and allocated a seat. There's no choosing your exact spot — you enter a price range and hope for the best.

The odds? Not great. With hundreds of thousands of Red Members competing for a limited allocation, success rates for big matches can be painfully low.

2. Silver Membership

Silver Membership (£56/year) offers better ballot odds than Red, but here's the problem: it's not openly available. There's a waiting list of over 12,000 people, and the wait can stretch beyond a decade. If you're just starting out, this isn't a realistic option.

3. Arsenal Ticket Exchange

Season ticket holders and members who can't attend sold-out matches can resell their seats at face value through Arsenal's official Ticket Exchange. Access is staggered — members who were unsuccessful in the ballot get first access, then it opens wider closer to matchday.

The Exchange closes 3 hours before kick-off. It's your best shot at face-value tickets after the ballot, but it requires LOTS of persistence and quick reflexes.

4. Hospitality packages

This is the only official route that guarantees you a seat — and you don't need a membership! Arsenal offers various hospitality experiences:

• Club Woolwich – Starting around £420 per person (booked as a pair)
• The Avenell – From £1,295 with premium dining and lounge access
• Inner Circle – £1,895 including setting the corner flag and signed shirt
• Hero Experience – From £2,695 with player meet-and-greet

You're paying a significant premium, but you get guaranteed entry, food and drinks included, and a memorable matchday experience. For overseas fans or those making a special trip, hospitality removes the uncertainty.

Verdict on official channels: The ballot system means even members have no guarantee of tickets. Great if you're willing to try your luck across multiple matches, but unreliable if you need guaranteed tickets for a specific fixture.

Resale platforms: where most fans actually buy

Here's the reality: most supporters who want guaranteed tickets for a specific match end up buying through resale platforms. Sites like StubHub, Viagogo, LiveFootballTickets, and others offer tickets to virtually every Arsenal home game.

The catch? Prices vary wildly between platforms, sometimes by £50 or more for the same seat. That's exactly why we built TicketSeal. We compare prices across all the major resale platforms so you can see your options side by side and find the best deal available.

What you'll actually pay

Arsenal operates a tiered pricing system based on the opposition:

• Category C matches (lower-demand opponents): £80–£150
• Category B matches (mid-tier opponents): £120–£200
• Category A matches (Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United, Man City): £200–£400+
• Champions League knockouts: Expect to pay whatever they're asking

The Clock End and North Bank lower tiers tend to be cheaper, while the East and West Stand halfway line commands the highest prices.

Tips for getting the best price

1. 01.
   Book early for big matches – Prices climb as the fixture approaches, especially for North London derbies
2. 02.
   Check multiple platforms – Or just use TicketSeal and let us do it for you
3. 03.
   Target Carabao Cup early rounds – Better availability and lower prices
4. 04.
   Consider upper tier seats – Often significantly cheaper with excellent views
