Buying Tickets Safely

Arsenal’s general sale is usually reserved for members, so for visiting fans a verified resale marketplace is typically the most reliable way in. Both Ticombo and Hello Tickets are verified resale marketplaces — comparing the two is worth doing since pricing can differ by section and seller. Ticombo’s purchases are backed by its TixProtect 100% money-back guarantee if a ticket is invalid, doesn’t match your order, or fails to arrive. This is a title-race heavyweight fixture and one of the hardest tickets on the Arsenal calendar to find at a reasonable price — book as early as you can.

Getting to the Emirates Stadium

The Emirates is superbly connected by the London Underground and overground rail, so leave the car at home. The closest station is Arsenal (Piccadilly line), just a few minutes’ walk from the turnstiles. Finsbury Park (Piccadilly and Victoria lines plus National Rail) and Highbury & Islington (Victoria line, London Overground and National Rail) are both around a 10-minute walk and are major interchanges, so they’re often the smoothest options on a busy matchday. Holloway Road (Piccadilly line) is very close but is frequently made exit-only with queues after the game.

Where to Sit

The Emirates is a modern single-bowl stadium with excellent sightlines from almost everywhere, split into a lower tier, a middle Club Level, and an upper tier. The North Bank (the north end) is the traditional home of Arsenal’s most vocal support and the singing section, so it’s where the atmosphere is loudest. The Clock End sits opposite at the south end, with a small away allocation in the south-east corner. The long East Stand and West Stand run down the sides and offer the best all-round views of the play, with premium Club Level seats in their middle tiers.

Where to Stay

Islington is the obvious choice — it surrounds the stadium, has superb pubs and restaurants around Upper Street, and puts you within walking distance of the ground. King’s Cross & St Pancras is a short hop away on the Victoria line and a brilliant transport hub for onward travel. And the West End or the City keep you central for sightseeing, with a quick Tube ride up to the Emirates on matchday.

Things to Do in London

Beyond match day, London rewards a football fan with more than just the Emirates itself. Three ways to fill the time around a fixture:

Emirates Stadium Tour & Museum

On a non-matchday, this is the essential Arsenal experience — walk through the players’ tunnel, sit in the home dressing room, and explore the club’s history from Highbury through the Wenger and Arteta eras.

The London Eye

A short Tube ride from the Emirates, the London Eye gives you the best skyline view in the city — a good way to fill an afternoon before an evening kick-off.

London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

A good way to get your bearings if it’s your first trip to the city, covering the major sights between Islington and central London.
