Arsenal season ticket 2026/27: prices, waiting list and how to get one

An Arsenal season ticket costs from £1,171 for an adult on the 23-game version in 2026/27, or from £978 on the 19-game version. You cannot simply buy one. Seats go to fans at the top of the Season Ticket Waiting List, which costs £50 to join, when a holder does not renew.

If you only want to see one game this season, the fixtures and sale dates are on the Arsenal tickets page.

What is an Arsenal season ticket?

An Arsenal season ticket is one payment for the same seat at every Premier League home game for a whole season. Arsenal is a north London football club, and its home, the Emirates Stadium, holds 60,704 people.

Arsenal calls the holder of a normal season ticket a Gold Member. Normal seats are called General Admission: the lower and upper tiers, the bottom and top rings of the stadium. Club Level, the premium ring in the middle, is sold separately.

Arsenal Women have their own 2026/27 season ticket, with the same seat at the Emirates for all 13 Women’s Super League home games. The prices below are for the men’s team.

How much is an Arsenal season ticket?

An Arsenal season ticket for 2026/27 costs an adult from £1,171 for 23 games or from £978 for 19 games, according to the club’s price list. What you pay depends on your tier and position. The upper tier costs more than the lower tier.

Arsenal prices seats by position, not by stand. Behind the goal means the North Bank or the Clock End. Centre means the middle of the East Stand or West Stand, along the side of the pitch.

With a No UEFA seat, the holder moves elsewhere for European games.

Arsenal says its 23-game tickets cost 3.9% more on average than in 2025/26, about £2 a game for General Admission holders.

What do children, young adults and seniors pay?

Arsenal gives season ticket discounts by age and to disabled fans. Its 2026/27 ticketing guide lists four groups:

How do Arsenal season ticket prices compare with other clubs?

Arsenal’s lowest adult season ticket price, £978 for 19 games, is higher than the lowest at Chelsea or Manchester United. Chelsea lists £880 behind the goals and £700 in its family centre, and Manchester United’s lowest adult General Admission price is £646.

How do you get an Arsenal season ticket?

You get an Arsenal season ticket by joining the Season Ticket Waiting List, then waiting for an offer. Holders renew at the end of every season. When a Gold Member does not renew, that seat goes to the people at the top of the list.

1. Join the list from the Season Tickets page on arsenal.com. It costs £50 for an adult or £25 for a junior.
2. Read the welcome email. It tells you your position on the list.
3. Keep your details up to date. The club’s Sales Team contacts you by phone or email when it has an offer.
4. Check your position in the Online Box Office, the club’s ticket website, or in the Ticket Hub, the ticket section of the Arsenal app.
5. Accept the offer. Your joining fee comes off the price of your first season ticket.

A friend or relative can take up your offer, with your permission.

How long is the Arsenal season ticket waiting list?

Arsenal does not publish a waiting time for its Season Ticket Waiting List, and its help page gives no estimate of when an offer will come. Offers depend on how many holders renew and on whether people ahead of you take up their places.

Near the top of the list, your position moves when seats come free. Further down, bigger jumps usually come from the club’s checks on the list.

So do not plan around a date, and answer any message from the club. Arsenal has removed people who did not reply when asked to confirm their place.

What do you get with an Arsenal season ticket?

An Arsenal season ticket gives you the same seat for every game it covers, plus free ways to pass that seat on when you cannot go.

• Ticket Transfer: a free service that sends your seat to a friend or relative, who receives it in a free digital account.
• Ticket Exchange: Arsenal’s own resale service. Your seat resells at full price to members once the match is sold out. Season ticket holders pay no fee, while members pay 10%.
• Cup games: you get a priority window to buy your own seat. If you join the Cup Scheme at renewal, your card is charged automatically.

There is one duty. Under Arsenal’s seat utilisation policy, you must use your seat for at least 20 of the 23 games, or 17 of the 19, to be able to renew. Transferring a seat or listing it on the Exchange keeps you on track. A listing before midnight the night before a game counts even if the seat does not sell.

If your seat is in the Clock End lower tier, blocks 20 to 29, expect to stand. Rails went in there for 2026/27, and the North Bank lower tier follows from 2027/28.

Should you choose the 23-game or 19-game Arsenal season ticket?

Choose the 23-game Arsenal season ticket if you would go to every European night, and the 19-game version if you want to pay less up front. The league phase is the first stage of the Champions League, Europe’s top club competition.

For Borussia Dortmund, that window ran from 12pm on Wednesday 23 September to 5pm on Thursday 24 September.

How much is an Arsenal Club Level season ticket or box?

An Arsenal Club Level season ticket starts at £3,740 for a seat only on the club’s latest published list, which is headed 2025/26. Club Level holders are called Platinum Members. Their seats cover all first-team Premier League, European, FA Cup and League Cup home games, with a free programme and half-time drink. Prices include VAT.

Arsenal says 23-game Club Level tickets cost 3.9% more on average for 2026/27, and The WM and The Avenell Club 5% more. So ask for the current price. Joining takes a 25% non-refundable deposit, and holders must use their seat for at least 22 games to renew.

Arsenal publishes no price for an executive box, a private room with its own seats. To ask, call the club’s hospitality line on 0345 262 0001 and select option 2.

Is an Arsenal season ticket worth it?

An Arsenal season ticket is worth it if you live within easy travel of north London and will go to most home games. It gives you a certain seat, while a single ticket depends on a ballot, a free prize draw for the right to buy.

A single adult member ticket starts at £78 for a Category A game, £61.20 for B+, £44.80 for B and £31.80 for C. A category is the price band Arsenal gives each game. But Red Members’ published ballot success rates are only 5% to 12% so far this season.

• Bringing children? Under-18s pay half price, and a junior joins the list for £25.
• Disabled fans: join the separate Disability Access Waiting List. When you get an offer, you must send supporting documents. Without them, you move to the general list.
• Not worth it if: you live far away or abroad, because you could not use 17 of 19 games. Red Membership fits better.

What should you do while you wait for an Arsenal season ticket?

While you wait for an Arsenal season ticket, buy Red Membership, because the waiting list gives you no membership benefits. Red Membership costs £38 a season for adults and lets you enter the ballot for each men’s home game. It is the same route if the club ever closes the list.

Silver Members, on a £59 level above Red, are drawn first, with published success rates of 24% to 58% so far this season. If you lose a ballot, you get first access to the Arsenal Ticket Exchange.

Hospitality, a ticket that comes with food and drink, is the other way in. The club sells it separately, without a ballot. See how to get Arsenal tickets for every route, the Arsenal membership guide for Red and Silver, and Arsenal ticket prices for single games.

What mistakes should you avoid with the Arsenal waiting list?

The main mistakes with the Arsenal waiting list are expecting match tickets, which need a separate membership, missing an offer and expecting your money back.

• Missing an offer: an old phone number or email address can cost you your turn.
• Expecting a refund: payments for the list are non-refundable. If you leave, you lose what you paid, and the club makes a matching donation to the Arsenal Foundation.

How do you get to the Emirates Stadium on matchday?

The Emirates Stadium is in Holloway, north London, postcode N7 7AJ, and the nearest station is Arsenal on the Piccadilly line. The club says the walk takes about three minutes, but that station has no step-free access.

• Step-free, or coming from outside London? Use Finsbury Park or Highbury & Islington, on the Victoria line and Great Northern trains. Both are about 10 minutes’ walk away.
• When to arrive: Arsenal recommends at least 90 minutes before kick-off. General Admission typically opens 2 hours before.
• Your ticket: entry is digital, so add your pass from the Arsenal app to your phone wallet before you travel.
• Bags and paying: nothing bigger than A4, and every bag is searched. The stadium is cashless, so bring a card.

To compare stands and blocks, read the Emirates Stadium seating plan.

What to do now (as of 31 October 2026)

As of 31 October 2026, the Arsenal Season Ticket Waiting List is open, so you can join now for seats released at the next renewal. If you want a game this season, buy Red Membership first and enter the next ballot.

Already a holder? You can list a seat on the Ticket Exchange until three hours before kick-off.
