As a secondary market seller, some may question our bias, but we see ourselves as a good source of inputs if other options are simply not available due to a very high level of demand.
Our goal is to be transparent about the entire process and to encourage fans to make an informed decision when purchasing tickets to watch an Arsenal game.
Members have several options for purchasing Arsenal tickets. An upcoming article, "How To Get Arsenal Tickets As A Member", will cover everything you need to know about this area.
But what about non-members? Read on for our ultimate guide to buying Arsenal tickets.
How to get Arsenal tickets as a non-member?
Do you need to be a member to buy Arsenal tickets?
This first question is very easy to answer. No, you do not need to be a member of Arsenal to buy tickets to watch Arsenal home games. As a non-member, you have several options to choose from:
Buying directly from the club
Public sales
VIP / Hospitality
Ticket transfer through an existing member
Personal invitation
Buying through the secondary market
This guide will go through each of these options in detail, providing the pros and cons, to help you decide the best way to purchase tickets for Arsenal's home games.
Buy Arsenal tickets directly from the club as a non-member
The two options are to buy tickets through general sales or buy tickets in the VIP section, which are on the club level or in the boxes.
The downside is that public sales are open for a very short time and sell out incredibly fast. You also need to buy them in advance, so if you miss the sale date you won't get tickets.
Low demand games, which can include national cup competitions such as the FA Cup or the League Cup, tend to see less demand for tickets, although they are sometimes cheaper than for the Premier League. For games like this, non-members will normally be able to purchase tickets directly from the club.
On the other hand, European home matches, whether in the Champions League or in the Europa League, tend to have a fairly high level of demand for tickets, depending on the phase of the competition and the opposition facing the Gunners. . To buy directly from the club, non-members will have to be quick to get them before they are sold out.
Buying VIP directly from the club is expensive, it costs a huge amount of money to attend a game this way, and there are better options on the secondary market.
Please also note that visiting fans are strictly prohibited from purchasing tickets from local sections. There have been some games in recent years where this has happened a lot and it is something that the club has cracked down on a lot to keep fans out of local fan areas.
Ticket transfer through an existing member
This is possible - you just need to know someone who is a member and has access to the tickets.
Existing members can transfer tickets to friends and family, so this is another potential option for getting tickets to Arsenal's home games.
If you don't know any Arsenal members, you may need to look into options like buying tickets on the secondary market; more details on this are below.
Get tickets through an Arsenal fan club
There are several fan clubs that have access to a certain number of Arsenal tickets.
However, there is a waiting or priority list. It stands to reason that the hotter the match, the lower the chances of a football fan getting a ticket through a fan club.
Club personal invitation
Maybe you know an Arsenal player or do important work for the club and get free tickets.

Buying Arsenal tickets through the secondary market is often the fastest way to get them, saving you time exploring other options like those mentioned elsewhere in this guide.
You will usually have a good choice of where to sit and it is up to you how much you want to spend on tickets to the big game. Matches that are sold out will still have tickets available on the secondary market, so if you miss the public sale period, this is a good way to make sure you can attend.
The longer you wait to try and buy tickets to an Arsenal match, the prices are likely to continue to rise, so the secondary market should be your first port of call for matches that have already sold out due to the high level of demand from fans. . .
If you need to buy tickets on short notice, for example, if you thought you were not available for a game but a gap has arisen in your schedule to attend, buying tickets through the secondary market is a quick and easy method. for followers.
How to buy Arsenal tickets online?
Looking to buy Arsenal tickets online? You are in the right place!
Getting club tickets is possible, but if you are not a member of Arsenal, your chances are pretty slim. Tickets for non-members often sell out in a matter of minutes. This means that the secondary market could be your best chance at landing a ticket to the big game.
There are a variety of categories available and if you want to go with a friend, pairs of tickets can also be purchased; WoW guarantees them for all categories.
Group tickets are also possible and while you may have to split up a bit, the group should sit very closely in the stands.
These are available in most categories most of the time, although for high-demand games like Tottenham or West Ham, where there is key local rivalry between the clubs, you may be out of luck.
The Saturday afternoon (3:00 PM) kick-off games are the most popular games for people buying Arsenal tickets, but early or late departures on Saturday are also often in high demand for tickets.
A late start on a Sunday (normally 4.30pm) can cause some transportation issues for Arsenal fans, meaning there tend to be a fair amount of tickets available on the secondary market, although it is up to the opposition, for course. High-profile matches are always in higher demand, but if they are shown on television, there could be more tickets available on sites like WoW.
For midweek matches, the secondary market is again very active, but for European matches like the Champions League or Europa League, fans will have to secure tickets quickly.
