This guide will quickly run you through the details of buying a ticket for Arsenal matches with a season ticket and also without being a member of the club –
How to buy Arsenal tickets?
Tickets for Premier League and Champions League matches are usually the ones in high demand and the club follows a strict policy of providing priority to its season ticket holders.
It would not be wrong to assume that getting tickets to an Arsenal game without a season ticket can sometimes be quite difficult but there are ways to make it happen.
How are the tickets allotted?
With an Arsenal membership, you can enter ballots for a chance to get your hands on game tickets for the 2025/26 Premier League and Champions League season. Adults will pay the highest price for tickets, while young adults and those with a Cannon membership (17-18) will pay less.
A ballot system is used to allocate tickets for the 4 ticket categories. The season ticket categories are –
Silver/ Platinum members
Family Enclosure members (Junior & Senior)
Disability members
Red Members
The best chance of securing a ticket for a match amongst the season ticket holders lies with the Silver members as according to the Arsenal.com – How to buy tickets guide – the percentage chance for Silver tickets is over 35% whereas for Red tickets the percentage chance is more like 9%.
How much do Arsenal tickets cost?
Arsenal tickets are categorized into three categories – A, B and C. The classification is based on the demand for matches – with matches from the A category commanding the highest prices. Less important games come under Category C, while the most in-demand matches will be Category A games.
To understand the categories you can get help from this example – A London derby with Chelsea would be Category A, whereas a league fixture against Nottingham Forest will be in Category B.
A few other factors defining the ticket price can be the location of your seat inside the stadium and your age. A premium seat close to the field of play will be costlier than a seat a bit further away from the action.
Members Ticket Pricing for the 2025/26 Season –
– Category A – Adult £78 – £145; Young Adult £58 – £110; Cannon £39 – £72
– Category B – Adult £44 – £84; Young Adult £33 – £64; Cannon £24 – £42
– Category C – Adult £31 – £59; Young Adult £24 – £45; Cannon £16 – £30
How to buy Arsenal tickets without being a member
Purchasing tickets to Arsenal games, being a tourist or without being a member can be extremely tricky (but not impossible) – as you will be relying on third party ticketing platforms (Ticketmaster, SeatPick and Fanpass) which are in the business of reselling tickets.
Pricing for the tickets as compared to the season ticket holders pricing can be different and might command a higher premium based on the match you plan on watching.
The best advice is to be proactive, plan ahead, do your research and purchase tickets well in advance to ensure the best possible experience at the Emirates Stadium.
