Arsenal has announced an increase in their season ticket price, which takes effect from next season.
Mikel Arteta’s side has been superb this season and continues to enjoy on-field success.
The club took some time to speak to its fans about changes to the season ticket prices and the number of matches it includes.
After the consultation, the Gunners decided to increase its season ticket price by 5% and reduce the number of matches it includes.
Season ticket holders had access to 26 home matches this term, but from the next campaign, it would be 22 home matches in the league and Europe.
A club’s statement reads:
‘The move follows ongoing feedback from season ticket holders who want more flexibility around attending matches and to support our desire to make more tickets available to our growing membership base.
‘Removing the four cup credits from the season ticket will also make up to 150,000 additional match tickets available for members to purchase next season.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
The club has explained that it consulted fans before making this decision and it benefits everyone associated with it.
We are having a brilliant season and this is probably the best time to make these changes because fans can see that the team is making progress and the club is investing in it.

It’s actually 6% rise for the lower tier, 4% rise for the upper tier and the 5% rise is for Club Level.
Unless I am misunderstanding this, we’ll be paying 6% more for 15% less games. My calculator tells me that equates to a 25.3% hike in price per match.
% per game. Overall price will actually reduce slightly with fewer games offering flexibility.
Wow, just amazing that a club can do this to its loyal following in such tough times.
They taking advantage of hopefully being in the ECL.
Rises are inevitable, thats the state of the nation. We all have a choice to pay it and there are people waiting in the wings. We are spending more, so need to get more in. Plus it gives more fans the chance to go to see Arsenal, the only problem is, it will cost them, if they want to.
Absolutely correct once again Reggie.
I will choose to keep my season ticket, as I believe nearly every other lucky Gooner will.
I think you are right Ken.
Ken, how do you feel about losing 4 of your cup games from your season ticket ? Come January next season, a season holder will have to pay for any cup games, being the FA Cup or European. If it’s Cat A games, that’s a minimum of £70 per game.
People are getting confused because the media as usual is trying to create noise. The 5% average hike in prices is per game which of course is well below inflation. The removal of cup game was to make season tickets slightly cheaper and more flexible whilst opening up the opportunity for members to buy tickets. Season ticket holders will also retain the right to buy their seat on a match-by-match basis for any additional home cup games.
The changes/rises have been largely welcomed from I can tell amongst holders.
