The Emirates stadium layout has been modified so as to copy the layout of the late Highbury stadium. Namely recreating the old North Bank, East Stand, West Stand and Clock End, and putting the old clock in the “new” stadium (all maps and graphics courtesy of Arsenal FC).
The club named the four sides of the stadium like it was at Highbury!
East Stand:
West Stand:
Clock End:
North Bank:
Away Fans: They generally seat in Blocks 20, 21, 22 & 23 (league games, Champions’ League) and sometimes even take from Block 20 till 26 (FA Cup games).
Block 22 & 23: These blocks are generally reserved for the away fans. But, if the travelling club’s allocation is small, then these 2 blocks will become available to Arsenal fans who wish to buy tickets there. This is the case for the Arsenal v Newcastle game on 29.12.2012. I spoke to the Box Office today (29.11.2012) and they confirmed that all Arsenal fans can buy in those sections.
Here is a good FAQ from the club regarding the Emirates Stadium, I would advise any travelling supporter not familiar with the Emirates stadium to check it out.
If you seat in the Lower Tier from Blocks 2 to 15 (front rows), you should have a good glimpse of the Arsenal team training before games… and that is generally the side of the pitch towards which the home team attack in the second half.
For more information on where the best seats are, and what kind of view you get from them, check this link… In recent games, I have taken pictures from where I was seated, and indicated the location of my seat (including some comments). Or check Arsenal own modelisation tool here.
Here is the Emirates Stadium seating plan, if you just need the Block numbers and their situation in the stadium as a whole:
And the club level still has the same layout as before:
Feel free to leave a comment on this post, or ask a question and I will try and answer it asap. Also try and click on the links provided on the right handside, and the various blog owners may have more info than me. Last but not least, the club: Arsenal will always know the answer to whatever question you may have. Hope you enjoy your visit to the Emirates Stadium!
Here are a few questions that people search on Google before they reach this post. I will try and answer a few here:
emirates stadium layout, emirates stadium seating plan, emirates stadium seating chart, emirates stadium seat map: see above chart(s). The stadium as a whole or stand by stand.
how many rows are there in the upper tier of the emirates: if you use this tool, you will be able to select the Tier, in this case the Upper Tier, the Block that you’re interested in, the Row and the Seat. Just select Upper Tier, and choose any Block, between 91 to 134, and for each Block, look in the Row drop-down list and you will have your answer there. But as a rule the Upper Tier has got between 17 and 33 rows depending on the Block you sit in. The Blocks in the middle of each stands have got the most rows. If you look for example at Blocks 130-133, they have respectively 18 rows for Block 130, 22 rows for Block 131, 30 rows for Block 132 & 33 rows for Block 133. But Blocks 96, 107, 118 & 129 have all got 17 rows each. See seating chart(s) above.
how many rows are there in lower tier of the emirates: if you use this tool, you will be able to select the Tier, in this case the Lower Tier, the Block that you’re interested in, the Row and the Seat. Just select Lower Tier, and choose any Block, between 1 to 32, and for each Block, look in the Row drop-down list and you will have your answer there. But as a rule the Lower Tier has got between 27 and 29 rows depending on the Block you sit in. The Blocks in the corner of each stands have got the least rows: blocks 4, 13, 29 & 30 have got 27 rows, the rest have got 29. See seating chart(s) above.
where are the best seats at the emirates stadium, good seats at emirates stadium, best spot in emirates stadium: this is a very subjective question, as some people prefer to be in the lower tier to be close to the pitch and the players and some prefer to be in the upper tier to see the game develop well. I reckon seats right on the middle of the length of the pitch allow you to have the best view and be close to the players. My favourite ones being in blocks 15-18 in the East Stand, and maybe between row 13 and 23. But then that is all a matter of taste.
emirates stadium view from seat, emirates virtual seat view: check out this tool from Arsenal FC.
where do away supporters sit in the emirates, where do away fans sit at the emirates, emirates away fans, Away Section emirates stadium, emirates stadium away end, visiting supporters end at the emirates stadium: They generally seat in Blocks 20, 21, 22 & 23 (league games, Champions’ League) and sometimes even take from Block 20 till 26 (FA Cup games). Note: Block 22 & 23 sometimes become available to home fans when the travelling fan’s allocation is small. Leaving just block 20 & 21 for the away contingent.
emirates stadium block numbers, emirates row and seat numbers: see chart above.
how many seats are there in a row at the emirates stadium, how many rows in block at emirates : use this tool to find how many seats there are in your row.
arsenal club level, emirates stadium club level map, view from club level emirates: see above for a seating chart of the club level, it is effectively a section of eight rows situated between the lower and the upper tier, it is under cover from the rain, and you have access to bars and restaurants. The seats are always more expensive than in the rest of the stadium there.
more to come… do not hesitate to ask me questions that you would like to see answered on this page.

I sure am glad you’re a gooner. As another Cambridge Gooner I have to give a slight correction on your row 20 assertion that it is ‘under the roof’ too much. My son and I have season tickets in row 21 (Red Action Block 5) and I can safely say that the ‘roof’ is above row 23. We very carefully chose our seats to be away from the roof. Indeed so satisfied are we with our seats that we are renewing the same seats next season.
Oh by the way I love your pictures and avidly look for new ‘Arsenal’ ones. It’s a shame you say the Fulham game was your last of the season. Keep it up Next year. I will be looking.
Hi Mick
Thanks for your comments. I have corrected my comment about the “roof”
Fulham was indeed my last game, as I’m shooting a wedding on Sunday and will send a (very happy) friend to the game. He will be seating in block 105. About taking photos at games, this is a cruel dilemma, cause i rarely forget my camera when going to games, and when i shoot i do not often watch properly. Oh, and I have just realised i need to attend a christening in France during the Emirates Cup weekend in July (28-29th).
Hopefully next season we’ll be cheering on Eto’o & Ribéry together !
Jean-Luc
Hi there! First time I have been to the Emirates, just received my tickets and I am in the yellow quadrant block 123… are these good seats or not? Please help !!!
Hi, I was wondering if you can help me. My Dad and I are flying over from the USA to watch the Arsenal v Middlesbrough game on 03/15/2008. The seats that we got are 123 upper tier row 20 seats 895 and 896, can you please let us know if these are good seats? Thank you.
Hi all, can anyone tell me about block 6 on the corner? is that good to watch football from there?
I want to be close to players I got a ticket for brasil vs sweden 26.03.08.
Come on brasil!
Hey there. As a fan of hamburg I bought tickets for the emirates cup. I was wondering, why the tickets for block 26 are cheaper than for block 98 or 92. Isn’t it a better view from the lower tier? Any idea?
Hi there! I have got tickets for the arsenal v juventus game on the 2nd of feb i am going to be in the 100th row upper tier is that a good view of the game?
Hello, I have just booked tickets for the Arsenal v Juventus game for my husband and son. I was hoping for tickets in the family enclosure but these were sold out. I have booked tickets in Area 11 Row 16. Are these seats suitable for young children? Thanks
I have just bought tickets for the Emirates Cup on 2 Aug and they are in row 2 of Block 18. Will these seats give us a good view of the game or are they too low down to ground level?
Me again i was just wondering which is the closest tube station to the emirites and if the view for the top of the stadium is similar to wembley because i went to see england vs brazil at wembley and i could barely see anything? thanks and i told all my friends about your blog because its so useful
I bought a ticket for the Arsenal vs Real Madrid game and was wondering if the ticket was for just the Arsenal game or for the arsenal and juve hamberg game too ….. and out of interest how many rows does each block have?…. thanks
Just bought tickets to the arsenal against real madrid match, i was at the Arsenal vs Derby game last year and had poor tickets, this time im sitting in the orange quadrant, block 2, row 27 and seat 30, could you get me any details off what kind off view or seatings this is like. Cheers!
hi, erm, i just got tickets to arsenal v man united on the 8th novermber, half way, upper tier…except there row 30!!! will we be able to see anything?
thanks
Are row 5 or 6 at block 67 at Club Level any good? Anyone who’s been there? I see it’s in the corner, and usually I’m sceptic to corner seats, but there’s supposed to be a good view at Emirates anyway.
From up there you should be able to see the game quite well, but not sure about taking photos, you will not be able to see the players faces very well. Maybe more general photos of the stadium, etc.
hey there i got a ticket to see the fulham home game on 28th feb … my seat is in upper tier row 22 in block 134 … is it very high or still alright for viewing the game.bet it’s good for photos which i’ll be taking… was in the block 19 for the first time i went there but way too much under the roof and didn’t get the feeling of seeing the stadium fully… i think i will then … just hope i’ll still see the game properly…
hey
i got tickets for the burnley game. Im sat in block 110 where i’ve sat before only this time i’m in row 2. I was wondering if the barrier got in the way of action on the near side of the pitch?
Hi there
Not really sure about that… I have never sat in block 110 before and if you sat there before you should have a bit of an idea.
I will be seating in block 31 myself… so a bit far away.
Love the blog! You have not posted in a while, I hope things are okay…
I am attending my first match at the Emirates on 5 March (Sunderland) and am sitting in row 17 (the last row) of block 118, seats 771 and 772. Any thoughts about these seats? My concern is that it looks like we are right underneath a scoreboard – does this affect the view from the seats at all? Or is the screen much higher than it appears on video? They appear to be decent seats, but I would hate for them to be marred by an obstructed view.
Also, I hear complaints about the atmosphere in the upper tier – is it seriously dour? Or just not as lively?
I look forward to your reply – and please post again soon – I miss your photos!
Thanks for your post. I have now fixed the comment form. Yes, I have not gone to a game for a while, but I’m going next week for the Barca game. I’m just saving money for my forthcoming wedding…
I do not remember sitting there, but the problem of sitting under a scoreboard is that you may not be able to see the replays. I doubt the view will be obstructed though. And anyway, for most games, there are always empty seats around. The club does not encourage people to change seats, but some people do it.
The atmosphere varies in the Upper Tier, sometimes great, sometimes quiet. Obviously not as good as in the red section.
Hi there:
I have never been to an Arsenal game before and my boyfriend just bought us tickets. They’re in section 113 in the lower tier but it said (no CL) beside it, what does that mean?
Thank you
Hi Susan
I think “no CL” means “no Champions’ League” , eg. that block or row is empty during Champions’ League games.
And you may have to double check, but Block 113 is normally in the Upper tier.
Enjoy your game !
Just booked my st and have picked block 91 in the upper as it is as central as I can get row 24 so not to far back. Really wanted a red section but closest they had was block 8 1st row lower with nothing but netting in front!
Wondering what the atmosphere was like in block 91? Any one else sat there? And is it mostly st holders up there with me?
Sorry it took me so long to answer your comment… Yes, block 31 is right behind the away bench, so being in row 4, you should see / be able to abuse the away bench very well
I think “No CL” may mean “No Champions League”, as the stadium is less full for those games. If you are able to buy it then go for it. I would always choose Row 1 over Row 20, as you will see the players better
I think block 29 has got the away bench to its left handside, so it’s by the right corner flag when you come out of the tunnel. Row 3 is, yes, pretty close to the pitch! Take your camera
It really depends how high you sit in Block 113… I personally prefer to sit closer to the pitch and see the player better than be in a good position on the pitch. In block 31 you would sit behind the away team bench, and it’s close enough to the centre circle…
I have tickets a match at the arsenal stadium. My tickets are for the upper tier which is pretty high up, but I was wondering if I could somehow go to the lower area to see the players warm up and quite possibly get an autograph. Will I be able to enter that area even if my ticket is for the upper tier?
Once you passed the turnstile, you can pretty much go anywhere in the stadium, apart from the club level and executive boxes obviously. You can get very close to the pitch and see and photograph the players warming up, but very difficult to get autographs I’m afraid.
Hi,
I am going to purchase tickets for the Arsenal v Aston Villa game in March 2012 and just wondered what seats would be better…
Arsenal section longside pitch (dont really know what longside means)!!
Arsenal fans corner seating
Basically,i want two good seats but dont cost a lot and aren’t right up in the heavens of Emirates!
Plus, getting them off a website called Live Football Tickets and dont know if it a well trusted website?
Thank you for any help you give!
Hi there
Well, this is very much down to personal preference. “Longside” is I think along the length of the pitch as opposed to “behind the goals” or the “corners”. I have never heard about “Live Football Tickets” as I am a member and get all my tickets from the club. But better check around Google and see if they had any negative reviews in the past.
If you do not want to be too high and pay too much, better get lower tier tickets I guess if you can. Good luck!
Hi pretty embarrassing question but I’m a pretty big lad, I’m 6’5 and around 25 stone. Iv always had a thing about chairs and them
Holding my weight, I know it sounds stupid but it’s actually stopped me from going to games because of it .So how sturdy are the emirates seats and have I got anything to worry about?? Cheers
Hi there
I can say the Emirates seats are very sturdy! I have had massive guys sitting next to me, and they or the seats never seemed to compaint
So come to the ground and enjoy!
Cheers
My husband and I were looking at tickets in the family enclosure. Are there special requirements to sit there? I found something on the Arsenal website that says you have to accompany a Junior Gunner. We have no kids and know of no Junior Gunners to accompany.
Hi there
I have never been able to buy tickets in that area of the pitch and indeed I think you have to accompany a kid to get there. You should probably check the club’s website for more info.
Sorry I could not be of more help.
Sorry for the late reply, but I suspect you may be sitting above the away fans, in the upper tier, by the corner flag probably around block 116 to 120 or thereabouts. Hopefully not too high.
Hi there, sorry I could not understand your question… I’m not completely sure, but once sat in block 27 row 20 seat 822, so I guess you would have seats beween 800 and 880 or so…
hey admin. i’m from malaysia and i totally dont have any idea about the sitting plan in emirates. i wanna go there to watch arsenal vs manchester united on 21st of jan. so you reckon the seat that you said, east stand (block 15-18) row 13-23 is ok?
Hi there
I think the game is actually on January 22 !
But were you sit is entirely your own preference
I reckon that I much prefer sitting between 15-18 in the row 13-23 indeed. But for that game, you may not be able to choose as it is pretty sold out already!
Good luck!
Area Row Seat
121 17 832
Hi there i wanted to buy this .its upper behind the goal are they good sit and great view because am talking my girlfriend who is manutd fan and i want her to feel the love of emirate stadium
or should i choose this instead upper corner
Area Row Seat
118 16 758
TBH, there is not much difference between the two areas, you will be behind the goal, just above the Man Utd fans. Be careful, cause your girlfriend may start signing with the away fans and get ejected by the stewards if caught
Good luck !
Hi Dennis
No. Tickets are never sold at midnight
To check the time of the sale, go to Arsenal.com > Fixtures > Fixtures & Reports
There, locate the game of your choice and click Match menu. When inside, choose Tickets. There will be a blurb about the timing of ticket sales. For the man utd game, red members tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday 22 December.
Voilà
JL
So what are the chances of getting tickets for the arsenal vs manutd match (for a red member)? I remember reading somewhere there is an allocation of 3000 tickets each match.
are there a set amount of seats in different areas? how does it work?
And also is it better to wait for the ticket exchange system to get better seats? As they are season ticket holders, which should be better seats?
Little chances to get a ticket but still chances. If you could not get any ticket, then keep coming back every day and refresh the ticket exchange, I have been lucky in the past that way.
Seats are scattered everywhere, no particular logic to it.
Ticket exchange seats normally have more choice, unless it sells quickly like for the Man U game. I bought tickets for Everton in the Ticket Exchange and there was plenty of choice, unlike for the Red devils game
thanks!! I’m extremely angry at the Arsenal ticket system. I logged on at 10 am UK time, and waited in the queue, picked a few areas and no luck, and I eventually found a seat, than as I checked out, the stupid thing timed out!!! I have to wait in the queue again, and of course no tickets left afterwards.
I’ll check the ticket exchange thing hourly, thanks for the tip.
admin on said:
This has happened to me too in the past. I generally try and log onto the system about 20 minutes before the start of the sale, hence you have a chance to be in the queue for 20 minutes then get in the store at the start of the sale… But it’s not exact science.
I don’t have a ticket myself either. I’m travelling to London from Australia, hoping to catch the game, but it is now sold out, extremely disappointed. Don’t want to pay a fortune from professional ticket sites, which pump up the price by a few hundred quid!
Any other suggestions (that “yet” made it sound like you have a plan)? If you know anyone who are willing to sell, please let me know, i’m looking for east/west stand.
Hey man ! That is fantastic news! How about you go to the game and witness Henry scoring a hat-trick! What a story that would be eh?
I’m glad your patience helped you get a ticket! It works but you need to have good nerves
Enjoy!
Sorry for my late reply… But to be honest, I think that Club Level is over rated. There is always a big queue to the loos and the bars at half time cause everyone goes back in and wants to take advantage of the free drinks. The view is okay. It feels a bit more corporate. And maybe you have more room.
Hope I answered your questions.
I am planning to go to see the match with AC Milam at Emirates Stadium in Mar. But unfortunately I have to get the ticket from some reselling website. In the ticket description some sellers mention CAT 1 and 2. Do you know the meaning behind as I have been google-ing this in few days …
In official website, it refers something like category A and B but it just means different opponents (A : Man Utd, Tottenham and another top 5 in table… B : remaining opponent) so obviously it is not the true meaning as I can find CAT 1 and 2 in same match with AC Milan.
Hi Jeff
TBH, I am not sure at all… You have to be careful as there are many bogus websites selling tickets or pretending to sell tickets out there. For the home game against Liverpool back in August, I met some French people outside the ground, and they were waiting for the tickets they had bought £500 on a website to be delivered. They waited the whole game and nobody came. They were coming from Paris on that day, and left without seeing any footie. What is the website you ordered from? And hopefully you have not paid yet. When you need tickets next, try @arsenal_tickets on Twitter. They always have spares, and they sell them at face value.
Good luck !
First, your photos on this blog are amazing – keep up the great work!
I just booked tickets for the Wigan game: Block 19, row 6, seats 591 + 592. Afterward I realized that we’re right next to the away fan section. I’m sure it’ll be a tremendous experience regardless since it’s my first Arsenal match as we’re coming over from the USA; but can you comment on the view and atmosphere, and being next to the away fans? Are the stewards extra strict in this area in terms of telling fans to sit down or limiting camera use?
Hi there
Thanks for your message and the nice comments!
Firstly, generally the away fans are okay, you can hear they sing and they will make gestures but that’s pretty much it. Wigan fans are quite a nice bunch
Funny that you come from the States, as I have lent my ticket this weekend to a guy from work who is coming from Florida this week !
As for standing up and taking pictures… well… Standing up is generally not permitted unless you are in Block 5 (Red section) where it is allowed, and taking pictures after kick off is generally forbidden, but I seem to get away with it as long as there are no stewards around. Basically if you are going to take photos always watch out for the guys in orange
If you are not happy with your seat, you may be able to move around as there are often empty seats. Just wait for the second half to be sure nobody is going to turn up.
Voilà ! Enjoy !
I am from the Netherlands and next weekend i will go to Arsenal – Aston Villa. I have got 2 membercards from a ticketshop in block 112 row 21. I hope some people can help me to tell if this placed are nice. This is my first to I go to Arsenal and i asked the ticketshop for gooed places. Not places which are very bad. I hope someone will give a reaction on this message. The second question is, how many rows the Emirates stadium has…
Hi there
Any seat at the Emirates is a good seat as unlike the old stadium there are no pillars in the way, so the view is great.
You may be a bit high in row 21, but as I explained to the previous guy who asked a question, there are often plenty of empty seats in the stadium. Just wait for the second half to make sure nobody will turn up and seat in those empty seats anywhere in the ground.
Good luck !
Hello
I am from New Zealand and i will be going to the wigan game on the 16th of April. I have got 4 tickets in the upper tier, block 113 (east stand) row 28 and seats 608-611. Apart from being high up (not that is a bad thing, is it?), are these seats good?
Thanks
Liam
If you’re too high, the players may seem a bit like ants
There are not really bad seats at the Emirates, there is nothing in the way, and you always have a good view of the stadium.
Enjoy the game !
can you please enlighten me. I got 4 tickets for Arsenal vs Man City this weekend, which i thought were next to each other but it’s materialised to be 2 pairs.
Are you able to advise if these are far from each other…..114 Upper Tier, Row 3, Seat 642 and 643 and 115 Upper Tier, Row 23, Seat 668 and 669.
Hi there
I guess they are 20 rows apart in high and about 20 seats length wise, so quite far… However there always empty seats in the stadium. Just find your self 4 seats together, wit about 30 minutes to make nobody will seat in them and make your move and sit together!
Hello,
I’ve got a question for you and I hope you’ll answer before the game, i have tickets for Arsenal vs city at 4PM.. But I just realized they’re in block 20..
do you know if there’s anyway to exchange tickets before the game, or catch some empty seats in the arsenal section ? tThanks
I’m afraid, unless you find a Man City fan who has a ticket in the main bit and want to swap with you, you are screwed.
Or go and ask at the box office, but they may confiscate the tickets from you…
This is tricky but good luck anyway!
Hi Admin,
Seems like you have a wealth of information that thankfully you may offer.
I have a few questions:
1. What is the difference between Club Level and the other memberships offered (Red, Silver, Season Ticket, Gold and Platinum)
2. What blocks are allocated for each membership?
3. Can certain blocks be requested (even it takes ages to get)?
4. Is the ticket exchange offered by Arsenal actually works (would not be available for most of the games)?
1. What is the difference between Club Level and the other memberships offered (Red, Silver, Season Ticket, Gold and Platinum)
I think club level is Platinum, and is a glorified season ticket, you seat in the Club level area, the area situated between the lower tier and the executive boxes. To find information about all the other memberships: http://alwaysaheadofthegame.com/.
2. What blocks are allocated for each membership?
Apart from the Club Level which has a designated seating area, all the others are all over the place.
3. Can certain blocks be requested (even it takes ages to get)?
What do you mean? When you buy tickets you can choose where you sit, if you start early enough so that there are enough seats left everywhere. The new ticketing system is actually fabulous, you can now even choose the exact seat where you will be sitting in!
4. Is the ticket exchange offered by Arsenal actually works (would not be available for most of the games)?
Yes it works, but it is a grey area when it comes to the time it is activated. I guess you have to keep monitoring a particular game every day, and hope to be lucky so that you find out about when the tickets are on the exchange when you look. However, I have seen today that the ticket exchange now seems to be integrated with the rest of the available tickets when you look for availability. So let’s hope this is the way forward!
Hi
TBH, I rarely buy tickets so high in the stands… Row 29 is very high. You will see the game plan very well, but may not see the players faces well. It’s a trade off.
Also, I do not think you can change them. And the game is pretty much sold out now.
You may be lucky as sometimes there are free seats at games, and you can try your luck and sit there maybe in the second half to make sure nobody will come for them
Good luck!
Hello Mr. Admin. Thanks so much for this site! The information is fantastic. I was hoping you could provide me with some advice. We will be in London and are hoping to find tickets for the December 29 match against Newcastle. As we have never been to the Emirates before and there is no telling if we will ever get back, we want to make sure we have the best seats possible. Based on the information on your site, I understand there is no such thing as a bad seat, but I’d love to sit in Blocks 2 or 15 in the rows you suggest. Based on the research I’ve done so far, it seems as though there are three options: 1. Join Arsenal as Red members and hope we can buy tickets either directly or via the exchange; my concern here though is that we won’t be able to find two good seats as this match will likely be popular. 2. Purchase the “Club Arsenal” package directly from the club; my concern here is that the atmosphere and seats aren’t worth the massive price based on what you’ve indicated. 3. Ask our hotel’s concierge for help or try one of the on-line scalping sites; my concern here is legitimacy as you’ve pointed out above and the need for the membership cards to even get in the stadium. I’m sorry for the rambling nature of this post, but I’m a bit overwhelmed and don’t know the best course of action! Thank you again and I hope you’ve been able to save for your wedding!
Firstly, block 2 & 15 will probably get sold out by silver members within an hour of going on sale. These blocks are very popular!
1. You could become a red member, but would you receive your card information in time for that game? You could call the club and ask. WHen buying the tickets, be aware that you may not find two seats together. It’s very common. My advice would be to buy separate seats then meet your other half somewhere else in the stadium where there are two empty seats together. It happens quite a lot.
2. Never heard about the “Club Arsenal” package.
3. Your hotel concierge may be of help, but for last minute buys like that, and if money is not too much of a problem, I would actually probably try the touts in the street! Best found between the Arsenal tube station and the steps leading to the “Bridge” leading to the stadium. But as a very very last resort really!
If you still have not found tickets like that, or even before trying bullet point 3, check on twitter for the fans selling genuine face value tickets. More info in my blog at: http://www.frenchgunner.com/arsenal-tickets/
Good luck ! I shall be at the game myself, with some visiting family…
Hello Jean-Luc,
thanks for fantastic info.
Coming from Washington, DC together with my son (17) to our FIRST live Arsenal game (WH on Dec. 26).
Want to make it a memorable experience for him – 7 years of Arsenal support and encyclopedic knowledge of the club…
Quick q: sec. 18 or 3 ?
Failrly low rows…
Thanks!
Aka
Great thing you have going on here! I’ve just got Block 23 Row 1 tickets for Arsenal v Newcastle and I was wondering if those were a part of the away section? Would be gutted if that were so..
Hi there Ethan!
Well, I was wondering exactly the same thing myself as I was looking for tickets, and suddenly blocks 22 & 23 appeared in green!
I put 2 tickets in my basket from Block 23, but then realised I may not be able to circulate inside the rest of the stadium (as I am coming with 2 other people stitting in block 3), as generally block 22 & 23 are the “away” section as you said, and are in a different enclosure only accessible from outside the stadium!
I’m sure you will be fine though, as perhaps Newcastle got a reduced allocation, but you may not be able to move in the ground as much.
Good luck!

I sure am glad you’re a gooner. As another Cambridge Gooner I have to give a slight correction on your row 20 assertion that it is ‘under the roof’ too much. My son and I have season tickets in row 21 (Red Action Block 5) and I can safely say that the ‘roof’ is above row 23. We very carefully chose our seats to be away from the roof. Indeed so satisfied are we with our seats that we are renewing the same seats next season.
Oh by the way I love your pictures and avidly look for new ‘Arsenal’ ones. It’s a shame you say the Fulham game was your last of the season. Keep it up Next year. I will be looking.
Hi Mick
Thanks for your comments. I have corrected my comment about the “roof”
Fulham was indeed my last game, as I’m shooting a wedding on Sunday and will send a (very happy) friend to the game. He will be seating in block 105. About taking photos at games, this is a cruel dilemma, cause i rarely forget my camera when going to games, and when i shoot i do not often watch properly. Oh, and I have just realised i need to attend a christening in France during the Emirates Cup weekend in July (28-29th).
Hopefully next season we’ll be cheering on Eto’o & Ribéry together !
Jean-Luc
hi just saw your website as im looking to see if the tickets my step-dad booked were good your opinion on block 23?
Hey I’ve noticed that block 4-6 have a standing section from around row 18 backwards!
Is this not right….. and i have a feeling this is where the herd congregate?
Am I right or what….. “WERE THE NORTH BANK!”
Does Arsene Wenger sit in front of block 1 or block 32?
Block 1 for the home team (Arsenal) and block 32 for the away team.
Where do the away fans sit? Because im sitting in block 23 row 1 against blackurn in February…
Hi there! First time I have been to the Emirates, just received my tickets and I am in the yellow quadrant block 123… are these good seats or not? Please help !!!
Is row 17 block 16 good seats????
Hi, I was wondering if you can help me. My Dad and I are flying over from the USA to watch the Arsenal v Middlesbrough game on 03/15/2008. The seats that we got are 123 upper tier row 20 seats 895 and 896, can you please let us know if these are good seats? Thank you.
Where are the £3000 season tickets good seats?
I got tickets with section 47 written on them – where is this?
Club level mate, your lucky
I’m going to the brazil v sweden game, how many rows does block 123 have?
Hi all, can anyone tell me about block 6 on the corner? is that good to watch football from there?
I want to be close to players I got a ticket for brasil vs sweden 26.03.08.
Come on brasil!
Hey there. As a fan of hamburg I bought tickets for the emirates cup. I was wondering, why the tickets for block 26 are cheaper than for block 98 or 92. Isn’t it a better view from the lower tier? Any idea?
Just bought tickets to see Arsenal v Juventus on 2nd August my tickets are block 134 row 23, are they bad seats?
Hi there! I have got tickets for the arsenal v juventus game on the 2nd of feb i am going to be in the 100th row upper tier is that a good view of the game?
Hello, I have just booked tickets for the Arsenal v Juventus game for my husband and son. I was hoping for tickets in the family enclosure but these were sold out. I have booked tickets in Area 11 Row 16. Are these seats suitable for young children? Thanks
I have just bought tickets for the Emirates Cup on 2 Aug and they are in row 2 of Block 18. Will these seats give us a good view of the game or are they too low down to ground level?
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how many rows of seats there are in each area of the stadium and if area 131 row 18 is any good? thanks
Me again i was just wondering which is the closest tube station to the emirites and if the view for the top of the stadium is similar to wembley because i went to see england vs brazil at wembley and i could barely see anything? thanks and i told all my friends about your blog because its so useful
no because wembley is much bigger, the view is great at emirates wherever you sit
I bought a ticket for the Arsenal vs Real Madrid game and was wondering if the ticket was for just the Arsenal game or for the arsenal and juve hamberg game too ….. and out of interest how many rows does each block have?…. thanks
Just bought tickets to the arsenal against real madrid match, i was at the Arsenal vs Derby game last year and had poor tickets, this time im sitting in the orange quadrant, block 2, row 27 and seat 30, could you get me any details off what kind off view or seatings this is like. Cheers!
hi, erm, i just got tickets to arsenal v man united on the 8th novermber, half way, upper tier…except there row 30!!! will we be able to see anything?
thanks
Are row 5 or 6 at block 67 at Club Level any good? Anyone who’s been there? I see it’s in the corner, and usually I’m sceptic to corner seats, but there’s supposed to be a good view at Emirates anyway.
Anyone who knows?
I will be seating in block 65 row 2 on Sunday, and it will be my first time @ Club Level… so no idea mate.
Ah. How was your view? Did you get a good glimpse of the players at the opposite goal, or was it like good old Sensible Soccer?
hi everyone i got tickets for italy vs brazil can any one tell if the seat number 20 for 8 people are good?
thank you everyone
hi guy
i’ve got 4 tickets for Italy/Brasil and was looking for a thought from some expert Emirate Stadium goer.
There wasn’t much left but do you think that area 22 and 23 row 8 are rubbish or not?
do you think it’s possible once there to check with other ppl if they want to swap seats to stay all 4 together or the stewards are very strict???
thanx
Marino
From up there you should be able to see the game quite well, but not sure about taking photos, you will not be able to see the players faces very well. Maybe more general photos of the stadium, etc.
hey there i got a ticket to see the fulham home game on 28th feb … my seat is in upper tier row 22 in block 134 … is it very high or still alright for viewing the game.bet it’s good for photos which i’ll be taking… was in the block 19 for the first time i went there but way too much under the roof and didn’t get the feeling of seeing the stadium fully… i think i will then … just hope i’ll still see the game properly…
I’m a Claret coming down for the FA Cup game. I’m in row 20 of Block 21, seats 642-645. Was just wondering what the view etc was like?
hey
i got tickets for the burnley game. Im sat in block 110 where i’ve sat before only this time i’m in row 2. I was wondering if the barrier got in the way of action on the near side of the pitch?
thanks
Hi there
Not really sure about that… I have never sat in block 110 before and if you sat there before you should have a bit of an idea.
I will be seating in block 31 myself… so a bit far away.
Hi,
Got tickets for Blackburn. seats are 705 and 706 in green quadrant, can you tell me is this where away fans sit?
Can you e-mail me answer please.
Thanks
Hey, going to watch Arsenal v Blackburn this saturday… Block 123 seat 901 don’t know the row.. 20 something… Is this took high?

hi going emirates this weekend don’t know what are the best seats does anyone know what is the best,row 13 or row 15 does anyone know?
Hi Harry
If you check out this website you can get a virtual reality view from the actual seat:
http://reservations.arsenal.com/home.html
Thanks for the info
Love the blog! You have not posted in a while, I hope things are okay…
I am attending my first match at the Emirates on 5 March (Sunderland) and am sitting in row 17 (the last row) of block 118, seats 771 and 772. Any thoughts about these seats? My concern is that it looks like we are right underneath a scoreboard – does this affect the view from the seats at all? Or is the screen much higher than it appears on video? They appear to be decent seats, but I would hate for them to be marred by an obstructed view.
Also, I hear complaints about the atmosphere in the upper tier – is it seriously dour? Or just not as lively?
I look forward to your reply – and please post again soon – I miss your photos!
Come on you reds!
All the best,
Matt Becker
Minneapolis, MN USA
Hi Matt
Thanks for your post. I have now fixed the comment form. Yes, I have not gone to a game for a while, but I’m going next week for the Barca game. I’m just saving money for my forthcoming wedding…
I do not remember sitting there, but the problem of sitting under a scoreboard is that you may not be able to see the replays. I doubt the view will be obstructed though. And anyway, for most games, there are always empty seats around. The club does not encourage people to change seats, but some people do it.
The atmosphere varies in the Upper Tier, sometimes great, sometimes quiet. Obviously not as good as in the red section.
So enjoy your first game at Arsenal !
Cheers
Jean-Luc
Hi there:
I have never been to an Arsenal game before and my boyfriend just bought us tickets. They’re in section 113 in the lower tier but it said (no CL) beside it, what does that mean?
Thank you
Hi Susan
I think “no CL” means “no Champions’ League” , eg. that block or row is empty during Champions’ League games.
And you may have to double check, but Block 113 is normally in the Upper tier.
Enjoy your game !
Hi im goin to the Arsenal game tomorrow and ive lost my comfirmation letter will i be able to find where im sitting when i get the the ground and how?
Just go and find a Stewart outside any gate, they will swipe your membership card and tell you where you sit!
Good luck!
login on arsenal.com with your membership number and password and look at account history and write it down
Just booked my st and have picked block 91 in the upper as it is as central as I can get row 24 so not to far back. Really wanted a red section but closest they had was block 8 1st row lower with nothing but netting in front!
Wondering what the atmosphere was like in block 91? Any one else sat there? And is it mostly st holders up there with me?
hi! Is block 31 row 4 any good?
Sorry it took me so long to answer your comment… Yes, block 31 is right behind the away bench, so being in row 4, you should see / be able to abuse the away bench very well
I want to order a ticket to arsenal-stoke game on the 23/10
I dont know if to order area 93 row 1 seat 71+72 it’s write beside “no cl” what is that?
or
area 27 row 20 seat 822+823
what is better? what it “no cl” ?
thanks
I think “No CL” may mean “No Champions League”, as the stadium is less full for those games. If you are able to buy it then go for it. I would always choose Row 1 over Row 20, as you will see the players better
Enjoy the game !
but row 1 is in the upper tier
and row 20 is in lower
in row 1 in area 93 (upper tier ), the Rail is not disturbing to see the field??
Is area 29 row 3 seat 924 a good view? Is it close to the pitch?
I think block 29 has got the away bench to its left handside, so it’s by the right corner flag when you come out of the tunnel. Row 3 is, yes, pretty close to the pitch! Take your camera
What’s better: Block 113 in the East Stand upper tier or Block 31 in the West Stand Lower Tier?
I’d prefer to sit nearer the halfway line to get a more balanced view of the pitch but I’m worried Block 113 won’t have a good view?? please help
It really depends how high you sit in Block 113… I personally prefer to sit closer to the pitch and see the player better than be in a good position on the pitch. In block 31 you would sit behind the away team bench, and it’s close enough to the centre circle…
I have tickets a match at the arsenal stadium. My tickets are for the upper tier which is pretty high up, but I was wondering if I could somehow go to the lower area to see the players warm up and quite possibly get an autograph. Will I be able to enter that area even if my ticket is for the upper tier?
Once you passed the turnstile, you can pretty much go anywhere in the stadium, apart from the club level and executive boxes obviously. You can get very close to the pitch and see and photograph the players warming up, but very difficult to get autographs I’m afraid.
Good luck!
Hi,
I am going to purchase tickets for the Arsenal v Aston Villa game in March 2012 and just wondered what seats would be better…
Arsenal section longside pitch (dont really know what longside means)!!
Arsenal fans corner seating
Basically,i want two good seats but dont cost a lot and aren’t right up in the heavens of Emirates!
Plus, getting them off a website called Live Football Tickets and dont know if it a well trusted website?
Thank you for any help you give!
Hi there
Well, this is very much down to personal preference. “Longside” is I think along the length of the pitch as opposed to “behind the goals” or the “corners”. I have never heard about “Live Football Tickets” as I am a member and get all my tickets from the club. But better check around Google and see if they had any negative reviews in the past.
If you do not want to be too high and pay too much, better get lower tier tickets I guess if you can. Good luck!
Hi pretty embarrassing question but I’m a pretty big lad, I’m 6’5 and around 25 stone. Iv always had a thing about chairs and them
Holding my weight, I know it sounds stupid but it’s actually stopped me from going to games because of it .So how sturdy are the emirates seats and have I got anything to worry about?? Cheers
Hi there
I can say the Emirates seats are very sturdy! I have had massive guys sitting next to me, and they or the seats never seemed to compaint
So come to the ground and enjoy!
Cheers
My husband and I were looking at tickets in the family enclosure. Are there special requirements to sit there? I found something on the Arsenal website that says you have to accompany a Junior Gunner. We have no kids and know of no Junior Gunners to accompany.
Hi there
I have never been able to buy tickets in that area of the pitch and indeed I think you have to accompany a kid to get there. You should probably check the club’s website for more info.
Sorry I could not be of more help.
Hey, the only info i have is that i have seats 661 and 662, can you tell me where these are please and if they are good! cheers
Sorry for the late reply, but I suspect you may be sitting above the away fans, in the upper tier, by the corner flag probably around block 116 to 120 or thereabouts. Hopefully not too high.
What seats are in block 26 and 27 in row 18
Hi there, sorry I could not understand your question… I’m not completely sure, but once sat in block 27 row 20 seat 822, so I guess you would have seats beween 800 and 880 or so…
hey admin. i’m from malaysia and i totally dont have any idea about the sitting plan in emirates. i wanna go there to watch arsenal vs manchester united on 21st of jan. so you reckon the seat that you said, east stand (block 15-18) row 13-23 is ok?
Hi there
I think the game is actually on January 22 !
But were you sit is entirely your own preference
I reckon that I much prefer sitting between 15-18 in the row 13-23 indeed. But for that game, you may not be able to choose as it is pretty sold out already!
Good luck!
Area Row Seat
121 17 832
Hi there i wanted to buy this .its upper behind the goal are they good sit and great view because am talking my girlfriend who is manutd fan and i want her to feel the love of emirate stadium
or should i choose this instead upper corner
Area Row Seat
118 16 758
TBH, there is not much difference between the two areas, you will be behind the goal, just above the Man Utd fans. Be careful, cause your girlfriend may start signing with the away fans and get ejected by the stewards if caught
Good luck !
Just curious, with buying tickets for (eg. red members) the date on the website says 22/12/2011. Does that mean 12am on the dot? or another time?
Hi Dennis
No. Tickets are never sold at midnight
To check the time of the sale, go to Arsenal.com > Fixtures > Fixtures & Reports
There, locate the game of your choice and click Match menu. When inside, choose Tickets. There will be a blurb about the timing of ticket sales. For the man utd game, red members tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday 22 December.
Voilà
JL
thanks for the reply!! much appreciated.
So what are the chances of getting tickets for the arsenal vs manutd match (for a red member)? I remember reading somewhere there is an allocation of 3000 tickets each match.
are there a set amount of seats in different areas? how does it work?
And also is it better to wait for the ticket exchange system to get better seats? As they are season ticket holders, which should be better seats?
Sorry I seem to have missed your quick reply
Little chances to get a ticket but still chances. If you could not get any ticket, then keep coming back every day and refresh the ticket exchange, I have been lucky in the past that way.
Seats are scattered everywhere, no particular logic to it.
Ticket exchange seats normally have more choice, unless it sells quickly like for the Man U game. I bought tickets for Everton in the Ticket Exchange and there was plenty of choice, unlike for the Red devils game
Good luck !
thanks!! I’m extremely angry at the Arsenal ticket system. I logged on at 10 am UK time, and waited in the queue, picked a few areas and no luck, and I eventually found a seat, than as I checked out, the stupid thing timed out!!! I have to wait in the queue again, and of course no tickets left afterwards.
I’ll check the ticket exchange thing hourly, thanks for the tip.
This has happened to me too in the past. I generally try and log onto the system about 20 minutes before the start of the sale, hence you have a chance to be in the queue for 20 minutes then get in the store at the start of the sale… But it’s not exact science.
I do not have a ticket for the game myself… yet
I don’t have a ticket myself either. I’m travelling to London from Australia, hoping to catch the game, but it is now sold out, extremely disappointed. Don’t want to pay a fortune from professional ticket sites, which pump up the price by a few hundred quid!
Any other suggestions (that “yet” made it sound like you have a plan)? If you know anyone who are willing to sell, please let me know, i’m looking for east/west stand.
Any help would be great.
Hey Jean,
Thanks for all your help!! I got a ticket for Arsenal vs Manu via the ticket exchange system!!
After pressing the refresh button none stop for a couple of days!!!
thanks again
Hey man ! That is fantastic news! How about you go to the game and witness Henry scoring a hat-trick! What a story that would be eh?
I’m glad your patience helped you get a ticket! It works but you need to have good nerves
Enjoy!
how is club level seats ?
is it good seats ?
Sorry for my late reply… But to be honest, I think that Club Level is over rated. There is always a big queue to the loos and the bars at half time cause everyone goes back in and wants to take advantage of the free drinks. The view is okay. It feels a bit more corporate. And maybe you have more room.
Hope I answered your questions.
Hi,
I am planning to go to see the match with AC Milam at Emirates Stadium in Mar. But unfortunately I have to get the ticket from some reselling website. In the ticket description some sellers mention CAT 1 and 2. Do you know the meaning behind as I have been google-ing this in few days …
In official website, it refers something like category A and B but it just means different opponents (A : Man Utd, Tottenham and another top 5 in table… B : remaining opponent) so obviously it is not the true meaning as I can find CAT 1 and 2 in same match with AC Milan.
Looking forward to your reply. Gunner forever!!
Hi Jeff
TBH, I am not sure at all… You have to be careful as there are many bogus websites selling tickets or pretending to sell tickets out there. For the home game against Liverpool back in August, I met some French people outside the ground, and they were waiting for the tickets they had bought £500 on a website to be delivered. They waited the whole game and nobody came. They were coming from Paris on that day, and left without seeing any footie. What is the website you ordered from? And hopefully you have not paid yet. When you need tickets next, try @arsenal_tickets on Twitter. They always have spares, and they sell them at face value.
Good luck !
Hi,
Do you know any simulation tool can check the view from “Club Level” like https://reservations.arsenal.com/seat.html ?
Only upper & lower tier can be selected………
Bonjour est ce qu’il y a des places dans le 100 ou moins de 100 euros pour le match arsenal manchester city le 08-04-2012??? merci davance
C’est possible, mais il vous faut demander au club… Je ne vends pas de tickets. Ou bien essayez sur Twitter : @arsenal_tickets
Bonne chance !
thank you!!!
Hi Jean-Luc,
First, your photos on this blog are amazing – keep up the great work!
I just booked tickets for the Wigan game: Block 19, row 6, seats 591 + 592. Afterward I realized that we’re right next to the away fan section. I’m sure it’ll be a tremendous experience regardless since it’s my first Arsenal match as we’re coming over from the USA; but can you comment on the view and atmosphere, and being next to the away fans? Are the stewards extra strict in this area in terms of telling fans to sit down or limiting camera use?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there
Thanks for your message and the nice comments!
Firstly, generally the away fans are okay, you can hear they sing and they will make gestures but that’s pretty much it. Wigan fans are quite a nice bunch
Funny that you come from the States, as I have lent my ticket this weekend to a guy from work who is coming from Florida this week !
As for standing up and taking pictures… well… Standing up is generally not permitted unless you are in Block 5 (Red section) where it is allowed, and taking pictures after kick off is generally forbidden, but I seem to get away with it as long as there are no stewards around. Basically if you are going to take photos always watch out for the guys in orange
If you are not happy with your seat, you may be able to move around as there are often empty seats. Just wait for the second half to be sure nobody is going to turn up.
Voilà ! Enjoy !
Hello,
I am from the Netherlands and next weekend i will go to Arsenal – Aston Villa. I have got 2 membercards from a ticketshop in block 112 row 21. I hope some people can help me to tell if this placed are nice. This is my first to I go to Arsenal and i asked the ticketshop for gooed places. Not places which are very bad. I hope someone will give a reaction on this message. The second question is, how many rows the Emirates stadium has…
Jeroen
Hi there
Any seat at the Emirates is a good seat as unlike the old stadium there are no pillars in the way, so the view is great.
You may be a bit high in row 21, but as I explained to the previous guy who asked a question, there are often plenty of empty seats in the stadium. Just wait for the second half to make sure nobody will turn up and seat in those empty seats anywhere in the ground.
Good luck !
Hello
I am from New Zealand and i will be going to the wigan game on the 16th of April. I have got 4 tickets in the upper tier, block 113 (east stand) row 28 and seats 608-611. Apart from being high up (not that is a bad thing, is it?), are these seats good?
Thanks
Liam
If you’re too high, the players may seem a bit like ants
There are not really bad seats at the Emirates, there is nothing in the way, and you always have a good view of the stadium.
Enjoy the game !
hi Jean-Luc,
can you please enlighten me. I got 4 tickets for Arsenal vs Man City this weekend, which i thought were next to each other but it’s materialised to be 2 pairs.
Are you able to advise if these are far from each other…..114 Upper Tier, Row 3, Seat 642 and 643 and 115 Upper Tier, Row 23, Seat 668 and 669.
regards
Kojo
Hi there
I guess they are 20 rows apart in high and about 20 seats length wise, so quite far… However there always empty seats in the stadium. Just find your self 4 seats together, wit about 30 minutes to make nobody will seat in them and make your move and sit together!
Enjoy the game!
JL
Hello,
I’ve got a question for you and I hope you’ll answer before the game, i have tickets for Arsenal vs city at 4PM.. But I just realized they’re in block 20..
do you know if there’s anyway to exchange tickets before the game, or catch some empty seats in the arsenal section ? tThanks
I’m afraid, unless you find a Man City fan who has a ticket in the main bit and want to swap with you, you are screwed.
Or go and ask at the box office, but they may confiscate the tickets from you…
This is tricky but good luck anyway!
Hi Admin,
Seems like you have a wealth of information that thankfully you may offer.
I have a few questions:
1. What is the difference between Club Level and the other memberships offered (Red, Silver, Season Ticket, Gold and Platinum)
2. What blocks are allocated for each membership?
3. Can certain blocks be requested (even it takes ages to get)?
4. Is the ticket exchange offered by Arsenal actually works (would not be available for most of the games)?
I think that’s enough for now. Thanks
Hi there
1. What is the difference between Club Level and the other memberships offered (Red, Silver, Season Ticket, Gold and Platinum)
I think club level is Platinum, and is a glorified season ticket, you seat in the Club level area, the area situated between the lower tier and the executive boxes. To find information about all the other memberships: http://alwaysaheadofthegame.com/.
2. What blocks are allocated for each membership?
Apart from the Club Level which has a designated seating area, all the others are all over the place.
3. Can certain blocks be requested (even it takes ages to get)?
What do you mean? When you buy tickets you can choose where you sit, if you start early enough so that there are enough seats left everywhere. The new ticketing system is actually fabulous, you can now even choose the exact seat where you will be sitting in!
4. Is the ticket exchange offered by Arsenal actually works (would not be available for most of the games)?
Yes it works, but it is a grey area when it comes to the time it is activated. I guess you have to keep monitoring a particular game every day, and hope to be lucky so that you find out about when the tickets are on the exchange when you look. However, I have seen today that the ticket exchange now seems to be integrated with the rest of the available tickets when you look for availability. So let’s hope this is the way forward!
Hope I answered all your questions!
hi!
just bought 2 tickets to block 113 row 29 seats 615 and 614
and i wish to know are they good seats?
+ i have a red membership, can i change my order during this week?
thanks!!
Hi
TBH, I rarely buy tickets so high in the stands… Row 29 is very high. You will see the game plan very well, but may not see the players faces well. It’s a trade off.
Also, I do not think you can change them. And the game is pretty much sold out now.
You may be lucky as sometimes there are free seats at games, and you can try your luck and sit there maybe in the second half to make sure nobody will come for them
Good luck!
Hello Mr. Admin. Thanks so much for this site! The information is fantastic. I was hoping you could provide me with some advice. We will be in London and are hoping to find tickets for the December 29 match against Newcastle. As we have never been to the Emirates before and there is no telling if we will ever get back, we want to make sure we have the best seats possible. Based on the information on your site, I understand there is no such thing as a bad seat, but I’d love to sit in Blocks 2 or 15 in the rows you suggest. Based on the research I’ve done so far, it seems as though there are three options: 1. Join Arsenal as Red members and hope we can buy tickets either directly or via the exchange; my concern here though is that we won’t be able to find two good seats as this match will likely be popular. 2. Purchase the “Club Arsenal” package directly from the club; my concern here is that the atmosphere and seats aren’t worth the massive price based on what you’ve indicated. 3. Ask our hotel’s concierge for help or try one of the on-line scalping sites; my concern here is legitimacy as you’ve pointed out above and the need for the membership cards to even get in the stadium. I’m sorry for the rambling nature of this post, but I’m a bit overwhelmed and don’t know the best course of action! Thank you again and I hope you’ve been able to save for your wedding!
Hi Karyn
Firstly, block 2 & 15 will probably get sold out by silver members within an hour of going on sale. These blocks are very popular!
1. You could become a red member, but would you receive your card information in time for that game? You could call the club and ask. WHen buying the tickets, be aware that you may not find two seats together. It’s very common. My advice would be to buy separate seats then meet your other half somewhere else in the stadium where there are two empty seats together. It happens quite a lot.
2. Never heard about the “Club Arsenal” package.
3. Your hotel concierge may be of help, but for last minute buys like that, and if money is not too much of a problem, I would actually probably try the touts in the street! Best found between the Arsenal tube station and the steps leading to the “Bridge” leading to the stadium. But as a very very last resort really!
If you still have not found tickets like that, or even before trying bullet point 3, check on twitter for the fans selling genuine face value tickets. More info in my blog at: http://www.frenchgunner.com/arsenal-tickets/
Good luck ! I shall be at the game myself, with some visiting family…
Jean-Luc
Thanks so much Jean-Luc! Have a great week, and best of luck paying the wedding debts!
Hello Jean-Luc,
thanks for fantastic info.
Coming from Washington, DC together with my son (17) to our FIRST live Arsenal game (WH on Dec. 26).
Want to make it a memorable experience for him – 7 years of Arsenal support and encyclopedic knowledge of the club…
Quick q: sec. 18 or 3 ?
Failrly low rows…
Thanks!
Aka
Hi Jean,
Great thing you have going on here! I’ve just got Block 23 Row 1 tickets for Arsenal v Newcastle and I was wondering if those were a part of the away section? Would be gutted if that were so..
Hi there Ethan!
Well, I was wondering exactly the same thing myself as I was looking for tickets, and suddenly blocks 22 & 23 appeared in green!
I put 2 tickets in my basket from Block 23, but then realised I may not be able to circulate inside the rest of the stadium (as I am coming with 2 other people stitting in block 3), as generally block 22 & 23 are the “away” section as you said, and are in a different enclosure only accessible from outside the stadium!
I’m sure you will be fine though, as perhaps Newcastle got a reduced allocation, but you may not be able to move in the ground as much.
Good luck!
