Today we are confirming details of our men’s ticketing for the 2026/27 season.
There will be new features, including more flexible season ticket options and new pricing categories, whilst we keep our entry level prices flat, protect stadium-wide concessions, and retain our 1,000 free tickets for our local community.
Following engagement and support from our Arsenal Advisory Board and supporters’ groups over recent years, we are pleased to announce the introduction of licensed standing at Emirates Stadium from next season in the Clock end and, from 2027/28, in the North Bank. This is the latest investment into our stadium which will allow supporters to continue to generate a fantastic atmosphere at Emirates Stadium to fuel winning performances.
### Season Tickets: enhanced options & encouraging seat utilisation
Our supporters will continue to have the choice of two Season Ticket options for the 2026/27 season, available across all General Admission areas:
* Our 23-game Season Ticket, including all Premier League and UEFA competition league phase home games
* Our 19-game Season Ticket, including all Premier League home games only
Following calls from our supporters, the introduction of our 19-game Season Ticket last season was designed to enable supporters to save costs up front by choosing to purchase Premier League games only and opting out of the initial league phase of the UEFA Champions League. We are improving this option next season by offering a guaranteed purchase window for UEFA competition league phase games for 19-game Season Ticket holders.
Our intention is to enable eligible Season-Ticket holders to access cup schemes covering all competitions at the point of Season Ticket renewal or purchase, further enhancing the certainty of a Season Ticket.
Our seat utilisation policy will remain unchanged for the 2026/27 season, and we are encouraged that the vast majority of Season Ticket holders are on course to meet their utilisation threshold this season.
### Season Ticket pricing & fee-free options to sell and transfer match tickets
While we are making progress toward our ambition of winning major trophies, we are still working toward financial sustainability. Our investment in our playing squads and infrastructure is dependent on the revenue we drive in the face of rising costs.
It is with this backdrop that we have considered our Season Ticket pricing for next season. On average, General Admission and Club Level 23-game Season Tickets will be 3.9% higher than the 2025/26 season. For all General Admission Season Ticket holders this increase equates to £45 on average for the season. Full ticket pricing information for the 2026/27 season is available below.

We know our Season Ticket holders value the flexibility and choice we provide through our Ticket Exchange and Ticket Transfer services, so we will continue to offer these services without passing on any fees to supporters. We will also maintain our free digital accounts for supporters to receive tickets via Ticket Transfer.
These services also help to provide more ticket access for our Silver and Red members in a period of unprecedented demand.
We are proud to have a dedicated community of members who drive passionate home support at Emirates Stadium and on the road. We thank our supporters for helping to drive our ambition to win major trophies.
New match categories
---------------------
To reflect the profile of our fixtures across all competitions, from the 2026/27 season we are introducing two new match categories:
* B+ which will be used in the Premier League for two fixtures
* A+ which will only potentially be used in the UEFA Champions League (pending qualification) for the Quarter-Final and/or Semi-Final fixtures (opposition-dependent)
The price of our existing match categories, A, B and C, are remaining flat next season.
We are also reducing the overall cost of UEFA Champions League league phase matches (qualification dependent) by bringing one of our four home matches down from a category B to a category C. This means our four home League Phase matches will be set at ABBC (down from ABBB).
### Delivering for our supporters
**Licensed standing**
Following extensive consultation and engagement with our supporters over many years, we are pleased to confirm the installation of new safe standing infrastructure. Working with the SGSA these works will permit us to operate licensed standing in designated areas of the stadium. We’re excited that this installation in the Clock End and North Bank lower will drive an even better atmosphere at Emirates Stadium.
From next season, supporters in the Clock End lower tier will benefit from the additional safety and comfort of standing rails in areas where we know our supporters stand to push the team on. Following this, from the start of the 2027/28 season, our supporters in the North Bank lower tier will also benefit from standing rails to enhance stadium atmosphere.
In total there will be around 13,500 supporters (including away supporters) in licensed standing areas by the 2027/28 season. We’re excited to deliver on our supporters’ much-anticipated enhancement to their matchday experience, and we thank our supporters’ groups, led by AST and supported by AISA, for their ongoing engagement on this matter.
**Emirates Stadium atmosphere**
Our supporters have been at the heart of our drive to maximise the matchday atmosphere this season, notably through our pre-match build-up.
Our supporter-led groups have been at the forefront of this, and we are grateful for the commitment to deepening the connection between our team and our supporters at Emirates Stadium.
We’ll continue to invest in creative and innovative ways to harness the passion of our home support for the remainder of this season and beyond.
### Protecting concessions & tickets for our community
Next season we will continue to make our men’s first team matches accessible to supporters.
We are proud to maintain the investment in our concessions in all General Admission areas of Emirates Stadium for:
* Junior Gunners and Cannon members (under18s)
* Young Adults (19-24)
* Seniors (66+)
* Disability Access Members
### Junior Gunners and Young Adults – the next generation of our supporters
We’ll ensure all our matches are accessible to the next generation of Arsenal supporters.
All General Admission season ticket holders up to the age of 18 (Junior Gunners and Cannon) will receive a stadium-wide 50% discount.
All General Admission Young Adult season ticket holders aged 19 to 24 will continue to receive a 25% discount in all General Admission areas.
### Protecting our concessions for senior citizens
Subject to availability, we will retain a number of discounted season tickets (57% off) available to eligible senior season ticket holders (aged 66+). Requests will be managed on a case-by-case basis.
Senior citizen season ticket holders (aged 66+) who previously sat in the Family Enclosure will retain concessions at the discounted rate of 57%.
We will also continue to offer an allocation of match-by-match General Admission tickets available to seniors, who can apply for these tickets at a 25% discount via the ballot.
### Concessions for our disabled supporters
Supporters with a Disability Access season ticket or membership will continue to receive a 50% discount and a complimentary Personal Assistant, subject to eligibility.
Next season, Disability Access Members will continue to apply for discounted match tickets via the Disability Access ballot.
### Accessibility-first
We’re always striving to create the most inclusive environment possible for our supporters.
Accessibility and inclusion is a focus for us across the club and we work closely with supporters to ensure that this is embedded in a matchday.
We would like to thank the Arsenal Disabled Supporters’ Association (ADSA) in particular for their collaboration on these actions.
Some key initiatives we’ve taken to make our stadium a safe and inclusive space for all our supporters include:
* At all home games, our pitch-side show has full British Sign Language (BSL) integration and all club content within the stadium has an embedded BSL interpreter
* Installation of a Changing Places facility (a high dependency toilet with hoist and changing bed)
* Our sensory room which is available on a match-by-match basis
* Audio Descriptive Commentary via Alan March Sport
* Audio Matchday Programmes available before kick-off
* Personal Assistants via Game Day Vision
### Retaining 1,000 tickets for our community
Ahead of the 2025/26 season we launched an initiative to provide 1,000 free tickets to our local community across the season. This initiative has been a big success, and to date we have distributed more than 900 tickets to local Arsenal supporters who regularly connect with us through our education and employment, social inclusion, and sport, health and wellbeing programmes.
We’re delighted to maintain our 1,000 free community tickets for the 2026/27 season, and we look forward to welcoming more of our community participants from across north London to our men’s and women’s home matches next season. We’d like to thank our Community Representative on the Arsenal Advisory Board for their support.
### Tackling touting: Getting tickets in the hands of our members
We have been consistent in our ambition to put more tickets in the hands of our supporters on our membership schemes. We continue to take strong action against touting, investing heavily in anti-touting measures.
Since introducing digital ticketing and a new ballot system, we have identified and cancelled almost 74,000 accounts attempting to obtain tickets in unauthorised ways and over 45,000 suspicious entries have been removed from ballots. We’ve banned over 17,500 memberships this season alone.
We run multiple anti-touting operations every season, including specialist third-party operatives on the ground, regular seat checks, and home and away ticket collections at matches. We have also increased the level of protection on our ticketing platforms, which has resulted in us blocking many IP addresses linked to suspected bot activity.
Our objective is to make more tickets available to our Silver and Red members, and we will continue taking strong action against touts to achieve this.
We want to thank all of our supporters once again for their fantastic support.
