Arsenal season ticket prices will rise by 3. 9% next season Arsenal will increase their men's season ticket prices and introduce a safe standing area at Emirates Stadium from next season. It is the fifth year in a row that the Premier League leaders have increased their prices. The Gunners are offering two types of season ticket for 2026-27 - a 23-match offer that includes Champions League home matches and a 19-game option that only includes Premier League games. Those season tickets will rise by an average of 3. 9% on 2025-26 prices, while Arsenal's club level season tickets will also be 3. 9% more expensive. The Arsenal Supporters Trust (AST) has said it is "disappointed" that the Football Supporters Association's proposal for a ticket price freeze across all Premier League clubs has been ignored. Arsenal make Saka best-paid player with new deal Arsenal, who will still offer 1, 000 free tickets to the local community for the 2026-27 season, say the season ticket price increases are partly a reflection of rising operational matchday costs. Arsenal already have one of the most expensive season tickets in the Premier League and received the third-highest amount of income from gate receipts in the 2023-24 season (£127m), behind only Real Madrid (£153m) and Paris St-Germain (£139m). "We firmly believe that with the football sector benefiting from ever-increasing broadcast and commercial revenues it is time to stop squeezing match-going supporters so hard, " the AST said in a statement. "Neither the Premier League nor Arsenal have seriously engaged with the idea that a freeze at all clubs would help stop the 'arms race'. " The Gunners will also introduce safe standing after "extensive consultation and engagement". From next season Arsenal say there will be "standing rails in areas where we know our supporters stand" in the Clock End's lower tier. The North Bank lower tier will follow suit from the start of the 2027-28 season - which will mean there will be about 13, 500 supporters, including away fans, in licensed standing areas at the Emirates.
