Hi all
Looking to go to Arsenal vs Brighton at Emirates on 17 Dec
Are there any gunners here who can advise how to buy tickets? I found an Arsenal member through Facebook offering 250gbp which I think is too high.
My understanding is Arsenal home game tickets are via a ballot and the ballot window has closed already. Ticket prices via Arsenal Direct are a lot cheaper!
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Thank you
are you a paid member? apparently members can now sell/buy via ticket exchange on arsenal.com for face value!
No mate, for my sins I'm a United supporter. Good luck getting anything at face value.
thanks mate and good luck!
OzBargain mentality and European football tickets don't go hand in hand I'm afraid.
As a tourist, you'll have to buy them off scalpers/Facebook Marketplace when you land there etc… As far as I know, all the big clubs preference their tickets to season holders as the other posters have mentioned before above me. I was in Europe at the beginning of the year and scapers wanted €1000 for the second leg of Bayern vs. PSG at the Allianz.
I always wondered whether the vibe at the Emirates Stadium would match watching a more local Championship/EFL match. Probably more bang for your buck watching Leyton Orient than Leandro Trossard.
It was a nice day out walking around the Emirates on a non match day: so much quieter, heaps of people jogging around it, quiet mansplaining to my wife how Tony Adams was a symbol of pre-mega globo football. Then walked through the suburb to get to the old Highbury ground and someone left the gate open so we went inside to look at the apartments. The pitch is now a garden shared space which I enjoyed a lot too.
Went to Fulham and West Ham matches in August this year - got our tickets from P1 travel and GoSportTravel. P1 don't seem to sell Arsenal tickets. GoSportTravel have tickets to the match you want but cheapest is 399 euro unfortunately. There's a few gunners reddit groups that you might be able to track down a generous member on if you are lucky.
Yikes. I only recently promised to take my son to watch a match from the Kop (dates - tbc) but I don't like my chances. I had no idea it was so difficult.
That's not a horrible price to be honest — 4 times face value of the ticket, probably. All games are sold out, so if you're not a season ticket holder you're going to have to take it on the chin. Only members are eligible to apply for the ballot anyway, tickets don't usually go on open sale.
You'd likely need to pay that much from a scalper outside the ground on the day. Or even more from one of their "official ticket reselling partners" like Viagogo, or a corporate ticket for much more.
You could take your chances at the ticket office in case they receive any returns, but realistically you'll probably end up watching in a nearby pub if you do that.
