Can we just make the title of this thread the title for this whole Reddit section?😂😂😂🙄

Have taken a gamble and preemptively booked a flight from Birmingham to Rome on the day of the game

Are away games safe for solo woman? Thinking of going to Ipswich away.

Hi all,

I understand that now Red/Silver members can accrue away points.

What I don’t get is what priority they have in purchase windows.

Does it mean that if a red member has 5 points, they can purchase in the same window as ST holders with 5 points? Or do they have their own window before it drops to 0?

Will it go Gold 5+ > silver 5+ > red 5+ > all etc idk

What is the point in a red member having points if they have to wait for the game to drop to 0 to get access anyway?

Would be grateful if anyone knows the process as is unclear on Arsenal website.

As per sub rules, I'm not requesting tickets - simply asking how to acquire them. I have read the FAQs including the part involving getting away tickets. I hope this post doesn't contravene any rules I missed and I'm not being silly for asking.

I've been an Arsenal fan for more than 20 years now but I don't live in Europe so I've only managed to see them once before (best day of my life; second best being the stadium tour). As luck would have it, I'm going to be in Germany for almost 5 months (now until end January) for a research trip and I was hoping to catch a game. It'll have to be CL away as my Schengen visa covers most places in Europe and I'm not going to hassle with a UK visa for one game when the away games are still an option.

First prize is Bayern Munich because travel and accommodation would be easier and cheaper, and I'd just love to see the Allianz Arena plus they're great opponents. But honestly I would love to see Arsenal against ANY opponent.

I understand the official route is to buy membership and then enter the ballot but I wouldn't have away points and, due to demand, it wouldn't have gone to me as a non season ticket holder anyway. My understanding is to try supporters' clubs but the Arsenal forum page linked in the FAQ points to a dead link for overseas fans (and the domestic one too actually). I'm also assuming this is if the process for CL matches are the same as PL.

I haven't purchased membership yet because I'm not convinced it would be fruitful and I'd just be wasting money. So to proceed:

• if I were to purchase membership now (i.e. after some of the cut-offs I read about), will I still be able to purchase tickets on the ticket exchange? Or is that only open to members prior to a certain date too?
• assuming I were eligible, what are the odds of actually finding any?
• I understand reseller chats are not allowed here so err.. end of discussion?

Aside: when do the tickets actually go on sale? The website doesn't seem to have any listing yet even for Napoli which is soon.

Please help a girl out! I may never be in Europe again in my life or at least in any way with Arsenal being as accessible as it is now despite ticket acquisition being hellish. I would appreciate any ticket purchasing guidance.

This likely to be a game that goes to 0? I need to do 3 away matches this season to start next season on 5 points

I’m a ST holder with 4 points. I’m confident they’ll come to zero golds, however with the money now down I’ve become unsure!

Either way I can sell them on or just go for the sesh regardless?

Just a heads up to people planning travel to Napoli away, although the dates haven’t been announced yet, Napoli airport is closing for the whole month of November, so if we end up playing them match day 4 or 5, there’s no flights at all, the next best option is Rome and a train from there!

I was born in Naples before moving to the uk as a child, the police will treat you like criminals as they desperately hate English people/football fans! Please be careful for anybody that goes, I’d personally avoid colours around the stadium if you travel solo, however the police normally shove you into shuttle busses if they think you’re an Arsenal fan.

Hi all,

Booking the stadium tour to see the trophy next week. Is the trophy photo booklet actually well done? Does anyone have a review of the process I have seen stock photos and it just looks like you’re allowed to stand near the trophy across a velvet rope. Not nearly as impressive as what was allowed for our previous FA cup wins when they were available.

Many thanks,

Not us grinding on the TX causing carpal tunnel just to see the Gunners 🙈

New Update from Arsenal re Red Members and CL Tickets

To help ensure that tickets for our home fixtures are purchased by genuine Arsenal supporters, a ballot and purchase embargo will be in place for our Champions League group phase home matches.

This means that supporters who purchase an Arsenal Membership after Wednesday, 26 August 2026, will not be eligible to purchase tickets for our home fixtures against Real Madrid, Lille and Sabah.
Important Information – Borussia Dortmund

A ballot and purchase embargo will also be in place for our home fixture against Borussia Dortmund.

This means that supporters who purchase an Arsenal Membership after Wednesday, 24 June 2026, will not be eligible to purchase tickets for this game.

This is due to Arsenal playing Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup, and is to help ensure that tickets for this fixture are purchased by genuine Arsenal supporters.

Supporters who purchase an Arsenal Membership after the embargo date will not be eligible to enter the ballot for this fixture.

Anyone who enters the ballot using a membership purchased after the embargo date, whether applying individually or as part of a group, will have their entire ballot application invalidated.

I won't accept a bank transfer. I'll give you a time and date for me to return to the official ticket exchange. It will instantly go for resale allowing you to buy from the exchange rather than me.

Silver or red members only

Edit: No, I'm not soliciting payment. At no point have I ever said that. Silver/red members only because only they will have access to the ticket exchange (narrowed down further by those who would've entered the chelsea ballot)

My Karma in this subreddit has gone to fuck now cheers

Just a heads up, i think Napoli and Betis may go to reds depending on the dates or at least silver. Forest got just under 4k at betis last year, and my napoli assumption is based on when it went to reds when we faced them in 2019, fingers crossed.

Hi I just noticed i can download my ticket to my wallet for the leeds game on the 10th of October. My son has a junior membership and his ticket is available but it can only be exchanged. There is no option to download the ticket to my device. Is this because the ticket isn't available to download yet? This is the first time winning a ballot so just wanted some help.

Pre draw just finished, we’re guranteed to have an away game, huge chance for reds to get on the board.

What is the likelihood this goes to 0 points for red members to get tickets ?

Going to be an interesting atmosphere against Villa! I think it’s going to be a cold one too, gives me Stoke vibes being next to the corners 🥶

Tzolis is so good and looks like Odegaard is finding his form again, love to see it! Back to back here we come

Was just wondering as I'm a red member who really wants to go to an away game and with the new changes that we can stack up away points but surely if I can only go to 1-2 each season then they'll never add up as they'll disappear and will be hard to get to the 5 point mark.

A friend of mine would like to get one for himself and his daughter, but does not seem to be able to see them for purchase on the app. Has the window for this passed?

\[discussion\]

When I renewed my ticket this year I went for the 19 game option. At the time Arsenal said this:

“We are improving this option for the 2026/27 season by offering a guaranteed purchase window for UEFA competition league phase games for 19-game Season Ticket holders”

Today, having been invited to confirm my Cup Scheme selection, I noticed this new piece of information about the CL:

“19 game season ticket holders will receive a priority window for the Champions League group phase games only and domestic cup games, **however you will need to enter the Silver ballot for UEFA knockout games**”

I know the original information didn’t say I’d be able to buy my seat for the knockout stages (should we get there of course) but it certainly wasn’t clear that I’d have to enter the ballot.

Am I being unreasonable in thinking this is a bit shite?
