Arsenal members hoping to secure a spot at the Emirates Stadium for the Premier League fixture against Newcastle United on Saturday, April 25th, at 3:00 PM (15:00) will need to navigate a ballot system. The club has released details regarding the ballot process, pricing and key dates for members seeking to attend the match. This game is categorized as a Category B fixture, influencing ticket pricing structures.
Demand for tickets is expected to be high, as Arsenal continues its push in the Premier League, and Newcastle United presents a challenging opponent. The ballot system is designed to ensure a fair distribution of tickets amongst the club’s loyal membership base. Understanding the timeline and requirements is crucial for members aiming to be at the Emirates for this important match.
The ticket ballot price range will be between £44.80 and £84.00. The ballot opened for Disability Access members on Friday, March 6th, at 12:00 PM and closed on March 11th at 10:00 AM. Silver members had a window from March 12th (approximately) until its closure, while Red members could enter the ballot from March 17th (approximately) until its closure. It’s important to note that the fixture is subject to change due to television broadcast selections or the progression of either team to the semi-final of the FA Cup.
Ballot Details and Eligibility
To ensure fairness, tickets for home fixtures are exclusively available to Arsenal Members through a ballot system. Members can register individually or as a group of up to four, provided all members meet the necessary requirements. Entering the ballot at any point during the registration window does not affect the odds of success. For those in the Silver and Red ballots, there’s an option to register interest for a family-oriented area in blocks 28, 29, and half of block 30, though allocation is subject to availability. Members can also select up to two preferred price bands and indicate a willingness to be considered for any remaining areas if their initial choices are unsuccessful.
A declined payment card will automatically disqualify an application. Arsenal emphasizes that while they will attempt to notify applicants of ballot results via email, it is the member’s responsibility to check their online Box Office account purchase history for confirmation.
Ticket Exchange and Transfer Options
For members unsuccessful in the initial ballots, the Ticket Exchange service will offer a secondary opportunity to secure tickets. Access to the Ticket Exchange will be prioritized for unsuccessful Silver Members following the conclusion of the Silver ballot, and then opened to all unsuccessful members after the Red ballot closes. Season ticket holders also have the option to transfer their tickets to family and friends through the Ticket Hub within the Arsenal app.
Both the Ticket Exchange and Ticket Transfer services will close three hours before kick-off, unless otherwise stated. Recipients of transferred tickets must accept the transfer before the deadline, or it will be automatically accepted on their behalf. Further information regarding the Ticket Exchange and Ticket Transfer is available on the club’s official website.
Important Updates and Digital Ticketing
Arsenal has updated the Arsenal app, impacting access to the Ticket Hub. Members must ensure they have the latest version of the app and log in with their email/username and password to manage their tickets. All tickets purchased for the 2025/2026 season will be loaded onto members’ digital membership passes via the app, appearing in their Apple or Android wallets approximately one week before the fixture. Tickets accepted via the Ticket Transfer service will be available in the Ticket Hub.
Members purchasing tickets for other Arsenal members must ensure those individuals are assigned to their Network beforehand. Matchday hospitality packages are also available, with details and booking information accessible on the official matchday hospitality page or by calling 0345 262 0001 (option 2).
Children aged 13 and under must be accompanied and seated within reaching distance of an adult aged 18 or over at Emirates Stadium, adhering to the club’s safeguarding regulations. Any bookings not meeting these requirements will be cancelled with a full refund.
Looking ahead, Arsenal members should continue to monitor their email and online Box Office accounts for ballot results and updates. The club’s ticketing information remains a dynamic process, influenced by both league progression and broadcast schedules. For those hoping to experience the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium, staying informed is key.
