We're pleased to announce that travelling supporters to our first Premier League match of the season against Manchester United will have the opportunity to purchase a seat on board a chartered train service.
With capacity for just under 500 supporters, the chartered train offers a guaranteed seat alongside fellow Gooners to and from Manchester.
This pilot initiative is part of our commitment to improving the matchday experience for our travelling supporters and encouraging more sustainable travel options for away games following the launch of our net-zero strategy last season.
Supporters can purchase seats via a new portal that will be available on the ticketing information page when you purchase your ticket - which will go live on Monday 14 July.
