Founded in 1886, Arsenal Football Club is one of England’s oldest and most successful sporting institutions – and tickets to their matches are always in high demand.

Arsenal play their games at Emirates Stadium in north London, which can accommodate over 60,000 fans. While Londoners make up the majority of the crowds, the club also enjoys a global appeal and a large number of tourists regularly attend matches too. Arsenal play 19 league fixtures at the Emirates each season, plus a handful of cup matches, often including European games. To check dates for matches scheduled during the current 2023 2024 season, fixture lists are readily available to view online. Below are three of the best online resources for buying tickets.
Ticketgum
Ticketgum are currently our favourite option for purchasing individual Arsenal tickets online. The well-established sports tickets broker has excellent availability for all games at Emirates Stadium, with prices starting at £220 for a game against Luton Town. However, for more prestigious matches, such as against Man City, Liverpool or Tottenham, prices can be significantly higher.
The company works with a network of suppliers, and the tickets on sale have usually been advertised by people who can’t attend specific games and so are looking to sell their tickets. This means that Ticketgum receive the tickets prior to reselling them, so there’s almost no risk of fakes. Tickets tend to be shipped 2 to 3 days before the fixture at the very latest. They have a very good Trustpilot rating too, meaning you can use their service with full confidence and peace of mind. Ticketgum also have designated collection point where you can pick up your tickets, which is particularly convenient when buying tickets at the last minute, as well as hotel delivery.
Stubhub International
An alternative option to Ticketgum, StubHub International have been one of the main players in the ticket resale market since launching in 2000. Sellers can advertise tickets at any price they desire and this can often mean tickets are offered for significantly above face value – particularly for more high profile games. Helpfully, however, the website shows you the comparative face value price of each ticket, letting you decide whether it’s value for money before purchasing. Buyers can ask for their tickets to be delivered physically, as print-at-home, or as a mobile transfer. Availability is generally strong, with our searches for Arsenal matches bringing up tickets for every game scheduled for the rest of the season, with rates starting around £140 for lower profile fixtures. Look out for additional fees for service, delivery and VAT, which work out at around £35 per ticket, although the website also has a slider option that lets you see the full price including fees. StubHub also offer a FanProtect Guarantee that helps ensure the tickets are genuine, are the same or comparable with those you ordered, and will get to you in time for the event.
Arsenal Official Website
While priority goes to season ticket holders and members, both general sale and VIP hospitality tickets for Arsenal matches can also be purchased via the club’s official website. Hospitality packages are popular with those keen to treat friends, family or corporate guests to an exclusive Emirates experience. There are a wide range of packages available, each offering enticing perks such as personalised reception, private lounges, fine dining, and outstanding views of the pitch. One of the most popular packages is Club Woolwich, which includes premium match seats on Club Level located in the corner or behind goal, a private table in the stadium’s Woolwich restaurant, champagne on arrival, complimentary drinks throughout the matchday, and a pre-match three-course meal, with pricing starting at £840 for two people.
