The truth is, though, that Arsenal are some of the most expensive tickets in England, but that hardly matters, because it is almost impossible to buy tickets direct from Arsenal for their games, unless you are a season-ticket holder or a paid member with lots of loyalty points (Related: What is a club membership?).

Getting tickets for an Arsenal home match at the Emirates Stadium is notoriously difficult and requires a bit of a "lottery" mentality. For the 2025/26 season, the club utilizes a ballot system for its roughly 200,000 Red Members. To even have a chance, you must pay for a membership (approx. £35) and enter a ballot about 6–8 weeks before the match; however, the success rate for high-profile Premier League games is often as low as 9% to 12%. Tickets rarely, if ever, reach "General Sale." Your best peer-to-peer options for 2026 are to monitor the official "Ticket Exchange" (where season ticket holders resell seats) or to book an official Hospitality Package, which is expensive (often £300+) but provides a guaranteed seat. Avoid unauthorized "touting" websites, as Arsenal has strictly increased its digital ticket enforcement, and "second-hand" tickets often fail to scan at the turnstiles.
