How to get Manchester City v Arsenal tickets
City sell men's home tickets to Official Members only in 2026/27, and this fixture adds a further filter.
- Current phase: the members' sale is open to Premium, Matchday and Junior Members who bought at least three home Premier League matches across 2024/25 and 2025/26. Adult tickets start at £40 at the eligible member price.
- Joining now will not get you in. A new Matchday Membership (£38 a season; Premium £65, Junior £20) carries no purchase history, so it does not qualify for this phase.
- Season Ticket Members have every Premier League match included already, and some of their unused seats reach the Ticket Exchange.
- Later release: several weeks before the match, once the date and kick-off are confirmed, City put more seats on sale to members, Ticket Exchange seats included. Neither its date nor its criteria are published.
- Hospitality: bars from £290 and hospitality from £625.
For everyone else, resale is the route. Sellers on Hellotickets set their own prices, which can be well above face value for a fixture like this, and the final price is shown before you pay. Member prices at the club are usually lower when you qualify. Our Manchester City Membership guide explains the tiers.
Good to know before you go
- Your record decidesBefore the current sale is any use, count your home Premier League purchases for 2024/25 and 2025/26: three or more is the threshold.
- Don't book rigid travel yetWith the date provisional and the kick-off TBC, keep train and hotel bookings changeable until the Premier League confirms the weekend's schedule.
- Cashless, Challenge 25The ground takes cards only and applies a strict Challenge 25 policy, so carry ID if you might be asked.

Where to sit at Etihad Stadium
- With the noise: the South Stand, behind the south goal, with 4,995 rail seats in its lower tier. It also contains the away section, so Arsenal's fans are in this stand too; check any listing there sits on the home side.
- Behind the other goal: the Pep Guardiola Stand, expanded with a second tier and a Skybar and still sold in "Family Stand" price bands.
- From the side: the Colin Bell Stand on the west touchline, with the Tunnel Club, and the East Stand opposite, which fans call the Kippax.
Hellotickets groups seats as Shortside (an end), Longside (a touchline) and Central (around halfway), and lists a premium Media Zone separately for this game. See the Etihad Stadium seating plan for the blocks, and our Arsenal tickets page for the club's own home games.
Frequently asked questions
Is it difficult to get Man City tickets?
For this fixture, yes. City prioritise Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Leeds for members who bought at least three home Premier League matches across 2024/25 and 2025/26, so a brand-new member cannot buy in the first phase. Other home games are easier, with up to four tickets per member.
How much are tickets for Man City vs Arsenal?
Eligible members pay from £40 for an adult ticket at the club, while bars start at £290 and hospitality at £625.

Can I buy Manchester City v Arsenal tickets without being a member?
Not from City. Men's home tickets go to Official Members only in 2026/27, and for Arsenal the open phase is limited to members with a buying record. The later release, several weeks before the match, is also for members. Without membership, resale listings are the route.

Where do Arsenal fans sit at the Etihad?
Arsenal supporters are housed in the away section of the South Stand, entering through L1, L2 and L3, where turnstiles open two hours before kick-off. Pre-arranged collections are at the South Stand Ticket Office, and small flags can be hung at the rear of Level 0.
