How to buy Arsenal home tickets?

[ShenandoahRiver]

Thinking about getting these as a Christmas present for dd.
What is the best way to get them - home game!
I have looked the Arsenal website but I can't fathom it.

Very difficult for the men's game unless you know someone who has season tickets. There's a ballot but getting 3 will be hard.
Women's team much easier. Just click on the link from the website. I can see tickets available for the 6th Dec game for example.

It's pretty impossible to get tickets for the big premier league clubs unless you are already in the system as a season ticket holder or some of the other priority schemed they run. Hospitality packages are usually easier to purchase as a one off but very expensive or a stadium tour maybe?

Your best bet is to become red members and then entering into the ballot for tickets. All 3 of us have been red members for 2 years and have been very lucky to have had tickets for City, Utd, Liverpool, Spurs, Southampton and a few others where we rejected them.
The good thing with the scheme is that you can opt in/out of the ballot. If you opt in and then decide you can’t go they will resell the ticket and you only lose 10% of the ticket price.
Only other way I can think of is to buy hospitality tickets, they vary in price so might be another option.
Stadium is amazing and tickets in any part of the ground have great views of the pitch too,
If you go down the red membership route you might not get tickets for Christmas so maybe do a stadium tour whilst you wait for tickets in the ballot? We’ve done this, and had Perry Groves as the one taking us around and he was really good.

Will stop my rambles now, but if you couldn’t guess I am a Gooner!

If you want to go and watch the men a lot of luck will need to be on your side with the ballot system. I read about Gold members who haven’t got a ticket for years. I will take DD to see the women when she’s a bit older. For me and her it’s £25! You could always do a stadium tour, next best thing and the club shop is amazing and check out North Banksy’s portraits whilst you’re there too

I would say that we’ve managed to get tickets for approximately 70-80% of the ballots we’ve been in so it’s not impossible to get tickets.

Hard unless your a member .

DH says more like 40%, apparently he’s applied for more than I realised.

Give up and become a Spurs supporter instead 🤣

This is the right answer. It’s not actually that difficult to score tickets as a red member.

i don’t know if they still do it but there is/was also a scheme for members called Ticket Exchange, where unused season tickets would be advertised once the matches had sold out, so you could monitor those games but you always had to to be very lucky to get a sniff of these if it was a big game.

Midweek carabao cup type match? We did that some years ago.

@AllJoyAndNoFun as the sibling of a season ticket holder that’s not much easier!

If you become a member you can usually get tickets for home games. DS and DH sometimes decide last minute and usually find something. But agree in terms of planning it as a gift this probably wouldn’t work.

Thank you everyone. I may have to rethink this!

Been told they’re buy one get one free😂

That really would be giving up.

😂

Arsenal doing exceptionally well atm.

@skippy67, @goingtotown there is no need for that ;)
