How can Arsenal fans buy Napoli away tickets?
Arsenal allocate men’s first-team away tickets through their away-points system.
The club’s official away-ticket guide explains that sales begin with eligible Season Ticket Holders, Travel Club members and supporters holding the required number of away points.
Further windows can then open at lower points thresholds if tickets remain available.
That means simply holding Arsenal membership does not guarantee access to Napoli tickets.
Most popular away fixtures are usually sold during the priority stages, particularly European trips with restricted allocations.
Supporters should therefore use Arsenal’s fixture-specific Napoli ticket page for the latest sales windows rather than relying on screenshots or social-media posts.
How do Arsenal away points work?
An eligible competitive men’s first-team away fixture normally earns a supporter an Away Point once the ticket has been purchased and the supporter attends.
Arsenal then use those points to determine priority for future away matches.
Supporters with the largest totals get the earliest opportunity to buy, before the required threshold falls through subsequent sales periods if seats remain. (Arsenal)
It explains why major trips such as Napoli can be difficult for newer members to access.
Our permanent Arsenal tickets guide should be used for the broader explanation of membership, ballots, Ticket Exchange and away-ticket access throughout the season.

Buying Napoli vs Arsenal tickets safely
Supporters travelling to Italy should only purchase through Arsenal’s official ticket channels.
Arsenal’s away-ticket guidance makes clear that tickets are allocated through established priority periods rather than an unrestricted general sale.
Fans should also confirm:
their eligibility before attempting to buy
the correct sales window
that their membership details are accurate
Arsenal’s latest collection or entry requirements
the final fixture details before booking travel
The club’s official Napoli ticket page should remain the primary source because sales thresholds and availability can change.
