Arsenal are enjoying a standout campaign in 2025/26 and fighting on four fronts as Mikel Arteta seeks to claim meaningful silverware. Having guided the North London side to three successive Premier League runners-up spots, this season could see the Emirates Stadium side end their twenty plus year wait for a domestic title and the club's massive fanbase are keen to see them do it, live and in person.

Securing tickets to see Arsenal home and away is not an easy feat, chiefly because of the size of the demand, and this task becomes almost insurmountable when the club is experiencing a strong season, such as they currently are doing. So how can you go about getting to your chosen away game?

Arsenal Away Tickets: Key Challenges For Travelling Fans

Away allocations are small and most fixtures sell out in early booking windows restricted to Season Ticket holders and Travel Club members with high away credits.

New or international fans, and even many Red Members, rarely see big away games reach their level in the official sales ladder.

Because of this, supporters increasingly combine the club route with reliable resale options to actually get to the matches they care about.

Official Route: Membership, Away Credits And Priority Windows

Membership Types And Who Really Gets First Dibs

To buy Arsenal tickets for away games officially you must be in the membership system, but not all memberships are equal when it comes to priority.

• Platinum and Gold/Season Ticket holders: Sit at the top of the away ladder and are the first group offered most away tickets, ranked further by their away credits.
• Travel Club members: Included in the same priority structure and compete within those windows on the basis of credits.
• Silver, Red and Junior Gunners: Only get a chance if tickets remain after the initial periods, which is rare for popular Premier League and European away fixtures.

Membership is therefore a minimum requirement, but your away credits decide whether you actually see any availability for the biggest games.

How Arsenal’s Away Points (Credits) System Works

Earning And Keeping Away Points

Arsenal sell away match tickets strictly through an away credits system, designed to reward supporters who travel regularly.

One point per away match attended

• Each qualifying away ticket used earns one away point for the Season Ticket holder or Travel Club member who holds the booking.

Rolling three‑season window

• Only points from the current season and the previous two seasons count towards your total, so older credits drop off at the start of each new campaign.
• At the beginning of 2025/26, for example, any away points earned in 2022/23 were removed and a maximum of 54 points could be carried over.

Correct usage matters

• Arsenal warn that failing to collect a ticket you’ve been told to pick up, or misusing an away ticket, can lead to points being deducted and further sanctions.

This rolling structure means you must keep attending away games season after season just to maintain your place on the ladder.

How Priority Windows Work For Each Away Game

For every away fixture, Arsenal set a series of booking periods based on away credits.

Step‑down thresholds

• Sales begin with Season Ticket holders and Travel Club members on the highest away‑points totals, then gradually move down to lower thresholds if tickets remain.
• Official ticket info pages show statements such as “Season Ticket holders with X+ away points” for each phase, reducing X over time.

“Zero credits” and who actually reaches it

• If a game ever goes to zero credits, all Season Ticket holders and Travel Club members become eligible to apply, subject to availability.
• In reality, most fixtures sell out before reaching that level because allocations are small and high‑credit members take the majority of seats.

What this means in practice

• Supporters on high away‑points totals can access almost every game if they move quickly in their allocated window.
• Fans with few or no credits often never see a “Buy” button for big fixtures, even though they hold valid membership.

Supporter discussions regularly reference London derbies and title‑deciding away games needing very high points, while only a handful of fixtures per season fall to zero credits or close to it.

Big Games vs “Entry Point” Matches

The away points system makes a clear distinction between marquee fixtures and more modest ties.

Big‑match away days

• Premier League derbies, away trips to title rivals, and Champions League knockout games typically sell out in the early, high‑points windows.
• Long‑term away regulars with strong credit totals take almost all of these tickets, and they rarely drop to low or zero credits.

Best games to build credits

• Domestic and European cup fixtures often come with a larger ticket allocation than league matches and are highlighted by the club as the best way to build away loyalty points. So all of a sudden, those away day Carabao Cup trips to Port Vale start to feel a whole lot more precious.
• Less glamorous league fixtures, especially further from London, are also more likely to reach lower‑credit members and occasionally Silver or Red Members.

For new or international supporters, this creates a clear strategy: target cup ties and lower‑profile away games to slowly grow your points, while accepting that elite fixtures may be out of reach for some time.

Step‑By‑Step: Following Arsenal Away Through Official Channels

If you want to work within the club system, these steps matter.

1. Join as early as possible

Secure Season Ticket, Travel Club or Red Membership on Arsenal’s official site before the season and keep your account details and payment methods updated.

2. Monitor the ticket information pages

Arsenal publish on‑sale dates, away‑points thresholds and allocation details on the help centre and fixture ticket pages, which you should check regularly.

3. Target realistic fixtures to build points

Focus on cup matches and “credit‑builder” away games where allocations are larger and thresholds are lower, rather than only chasing the glamour ties.

4. Be ready when your window opens

Log in and join the online queue as soon as sales start for your points band; popular games can sell out within minutes even within high‑credit windows.

5. Use every ticket and follow the rules

Attending the matches you buy and complying with collection and ID requirements keeps your credits intact and helps you climb the ladder over time.

Even if you do everything right, the sheer demand and limited away allocations mean many fans will still miss out on the games they most want to attend.

Popular Away Trips

Match + Venue	Away Allocation (2025/26)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium	3038 (2025/26)
Liverpool vs Arsenal, Anfield	3038 (2025/26)
Manchester City vs Arsenal, Etihad Stadium	3065 (2025/26)
Manchester United vs Arsenal, Old Trafford	3099 (2025/26)
Chelsea vs Arsenal, Stamford Bridge	3083 (2025/26)
Newcastle United vs Arsenal, St. James' Park	3204 (2025/26)

Why Many Fans Turn To Resale Markets

Because most away fixtures sell out at the higher‑points booking periods, supporters without a deep credit history often have no realistic path to official away tickets.

Limited supply, huge demand

• Arsenal explicitly note that most away games sell out to Platinum, Gold and Travel Club Members in the initial sale periods, before lower tiers are considered.

Credits favour the established away core

• The rolling nature of the points system means established travellers keep their advantage, while newer fans find it hard to break in.

Need for a practical alternative

• As a result, fans increasingly look to reputable secondary markets to find seats when the club route is effectively closed.

This is where aggregation and comparison become extremely valuable.

A Typical SeatPick Journey For An Arsenal Away Game

1. Search the fixture

Head to SeatPick, open the Arsenal page, and select the away match you want to attend.

2. Apply the away‑end filter

Use the dedicated filter to view listings in the Arsenal end where that inventory exists, or consider nearby home/neutral sections if the away end is sold out.

3. Compare and choose your tickets

Review prices, blocks and delivery methods from different suppliers, then pick the option that works best for your budget and travel plans.

4. Check out securely

Complete your purchase with the chosen marketplace, backed by the guarantees required for all SeatPick partners.

SeatPick effectively gives you a realistic path to the away days you would otherwise miss while you slowly work on building credits through the official system.

Aspect	Official Arsenal away route	Resale via SeatPick
Eligibility	Requires club membership; away points determine priority.	Open to all fans; no membership or credits required.
Pricing	Face value, but very limited access for most fans.	Market-based pricing that reflects demand and allocation.
Access to big games	Dominated by long-term high-credit travellers.	Often availability even when club windows are closed or sold out.
Long-term benefit	Builds your away credits and future priority.	Immediate access; no direct effect on club points.

For most Arsenal supporters, the smartest strategy is to treat these options as complementary: use official channels to grow your away points over time, and rely on SeatPick when you need a realistic route into high‑demand away fixtures that your current credit total cannot reach, using either path will greatly help you in your endeavour to purchase tickets for your chosen fixture.

Hedging your bets in this manner between efforts to buy tickets sold strictly through the club, and electing to use SeatPick's aggregation service to find the best deals on reputable sites on the resale markets is, many ways the most sensible way to make sure you get to the game of your choice.

Arsenal Away Ticket FAQs

Can I get Arsenal away tickets without being a member?

In most cases you need to be an official Arsenal member (usually a Season Ticket holder, Travel Club, or Red Member) to access away tickets through the club’s own ticketing system.

The club uses membership plus away points to decide who gets priority, and big Premier League and European away games usually sell out before non‑members or casual fans get a chance. For non‑members, the realistic route is via trusted resale and comparison platforms that don’t require club membership.

How early should I start planning for an Arsenal away game?

Ticket availability for popular Premier League (think a trip to Old Trafford to see Arsenal take on Manchester United or a potential trip to West London to see the Gunners face the Blues) and European away trips (both near and far) is far exceeded by demand, so you should start planning as soon as the fixtures are released, even before ticket details are confirmed.

This gives you time to secure travel and accommodation at sensible prices, keep an eye on Arsenal’s ticket announcements, and decide whether you’ll aim for the official route, the resale route, or both. You should do all of this well in advance of the fixture, especially those where only a limited number of away tickets are available.

Serious away regulars often book travel on the assumption they’ll qualify on points, while newer fans might wait for SeatPick inventory before locking everything in.

How much are Arsenal away game tickets?

For official Premier League away tickets bought directly from Arsenal, prices are capped at £30 per ticket under the league‑wide away price cap, which has been extended for multiple seasons.

On the resale market, prices vary significantly; comparison data shows Arsenal away tickets starting from roughly the low‑£100s equivalent on third‑party sites and rising much higher for North London derbies or title‑decider away games.

Do Arsenal away tickets include travel or accommodation?

No, standard Arsenal away tickets only cover entry to the match; travel and accommodation are always your responsibility. Some hospitality or package providers may bundle a matchday experience with coach travel or hotel stays, but that’s separate from the club’s normal away allocation.

How many tickets are usually allocated to Arsenal fans for away games?

When it comes to tickets, Arsenal usually receive around 3,000 for most Premier League away games, as that’s the typical allocation clubs provide to visiting fans at larger stadiums. Premier League rules state that if a ground holds more than 30,000, the home club must offer the away team at least 3,000 seats, while smaller grounds must provide a minimum of 10% of capacity.
