Emirates Stadium

Fifth largest stadium in England, the Emirates Stadium is home to Arsenal FC.

It is known as "Arsenal Stadium" for UEFA competitions.

Previously located at "Manor Ground" and then "Highbury" (1913-2006).

The latter had become too small and redevelopment was impossible due to local opposition, the historic monument status of certain parts, and lack of space in the area, so the Emirates Stadium was built.

Arsenal's team nickname: The Gunners. The club was founded under the name "Dial Square" in 1886, named after the workshops of an armaments factory where the workers who made up the team worked.

How to buy tickets for an Arsenal match at the Emirates Stadium?

🎟️ Tickets for an Arsenal match at the Emirates are available for purchase on the club's online ticketing platform.

🔒 It is very difficult to get seats for an Arsenal match; sales are reserved for members and by lottery draw. Once you are a member you must register for the match you wish to attend and a draw is held. You generally have a 12 to 15% chance of being drawn. You can then access ticket sales.

🪪 Membership is sold for £34 per season. As a member you can then enter the ballots (lottery draws) for each match. As a member you will also have access to ticket resale (tickets resold by season ticket holders and members). All membership information can be found here.

Stadium Traveller's tips for getting tickets?

1️⃣ It's best to prepare well in advance by becoming a member and not targeting a particular match. The system is very complicated so it's better to try several matches and if you win the draw, organise yourself afterwards.

2️⃣ Otherwise you need to find a season ticket holder who can give you their ticket or a member who is drawn to buy tickets for you (find them on social media, forums, fan groups, French fan associations...).
