HOW DOES TICKETING WITH ARSENAL AUSTRALIA DIFFER TO AN ARSENAL RED MEMBERSHIP?

In regards to Ticketing, the Arsenal Australia Membership provides access for Australian Residents on a short term basis, ie. for Members travelling to UK on holiday for a few weeks. We get our allocation of Tickets prior to them going on sale to Arsenal Silver and Red Members, but this also means you need to plan ahead and apply approx 10 weeks before the match. We recommend our Membership if you are going over to UK for a short period, but longer term you might be better with a Red Membership via Arsenal, as once you have attended 1 game, your priority to get tickets via Arsenal Australia is decreased. The terms of our agreement with Arsenal, is that tickets for our Members should not be used by those based on the UK long term, and we monitor this to adhere to that, and also to give our Members who reside in Australia to get the opportunity to attend matches.

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING A TICKET?

This depends on many different factors which can impact how many tickets we are allocated, Weekday fixtures we often get a better allocation from Arsenal, as local european based clubs tend to prefer weekend fixtures, and at Christmas time we usually get a high allocation than usual too, but thats also when many of our Members in the UK. Arsenal Australia had a great record of receiving our full ticket allocation, often only falling a few seats short for the occasional big games, but towards the end of the 22/23 and start of the 23/24 seasons, with a surge in Memberships and thus ticket applications, we havent been receiving full allocations. The aim to get every Member to least 1 game per season, but this usually only possible if applying for a few matches, and being a member for least 6 months.

The best advice is to sign up as early as possible as this will increase your chances of tickets. Where Arsenal are unable to meet the Arsenal Australia demand for tickets, priority will be given to:

• those Members with the longest continued Membership status

• those who have not already been allocated tickets for that season

Checks will also be done to enforce that those who applied for multiple tickets have a family Membership, and offering 2 tickets to those with a family Membership if less than 10 tickets allocated, and 3 tickets if under 20 tickets where required

Arsenal have previously said we can apply for approx. 20 tickets per match.

But in Jan 2023, Arsenal have warned that many international supporters clubs will see a reduction in number of tickets available for rest of the 2022/23 season and into following seasons, as online pressure from many silver Members missing out on tickets, has meant less tickets will be available for international supporters clubs. Please refer to latest News Article for Ticketing, which is updated with how successful we have been for recent matches, as can be seen was approx 20 tickets per match, but then was more often approx 10 tickets.

The worse part of volunteering to help with ticketing, is getting the email from Arsenal when we don’t get all required tickets, and knowing I have to send emails onto our Members. So lets all hope we are successful in getting all required tickets.

HOW DID ARSENAL AUSTRALIA FARE WITH TICKET APPLICATIONS IN RECENT SEASONS?

2023/24 - please refer to the https://arsenalaustralia.com.au/lnews/ticketing-news-23-24/ which is frequently updated on how successful we have been receiving tickets this season thus far. Noting that we have not been receiving a full allocation, which has meant Members joining within last 6 months have been unsuccessful for Forest, and for Spurs you needed to have been an AASC Member since 2018 as we received 6 tickets.

2022/23 - Arsenal Australia applied for 870 tickets, and received 403 tickets from The Arsenal. There were 301 of our Members who applied for tickets, and 225 attended at least 1 game as many applied for multiple games. We were managing to get most to at least 1 game, but this wasnt achieveable towards the end of season when received less than 10 tickets per match, and had 117 applications for the last game vs Wolves. For further details of how we fared in regards Ticketing for each match, please refer to the News tab, and the 2023/24 ticketing article.

2021/22 - Post Covid, Arsenal Australia and The Arsenal were able to supply tickets again near to Xmas, and helped every Member/family who submitted applications for tickets to the Emirates. Received applications for approx 10 tickets per match. And for last game of season vs Everton we received all 21 tickets applied for.

2019/20 - Had another good season getting most of the tickets we require from Arsenal. We usually apply for 20-30 tickets per match, but Arsenal have provided an allocation up to 47 where required too. The games we have fallen short of tickets were Tottenham, Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd. Over Xmas, which is typically a busy period for ticketing, with 3 big home games, we had applications for 195 tickets for these matches, and received 125 tickets, so we were pleased to get everyone to at least 1 match they have applied for.

2018/19 season, we received 224 applications from Arsenal Australia Members. From a total of 385 tickets, we were allocated 357 tickets from Arsenal. The games where we fell few short, were against top 4 at home, and the last game of season.

So we continue to be confident we can help get you tickets to watch The Arsenal live.

HOW DO I APPLY?

Become a Member of Arsenal Australia if you are not already. Once you are a Member you can log into the website, head to 'My Account' and a 'ticketing' link will appear. Click that link and it will open the screen with all current games open to applications.

OVERVIEW OF HOW TICKET PROCESS WORKS?

i) Applications come in via Arsenal Australia Website, prior to Arsenal closing the Application Window, which is usually 8 weeks prior to matchday (but less at start of season) .

ii) Arsenal then let us know within 7-10 days how many tickets we will receive for the match.

iii) Payment is requested from our Members, and usually give Members between 4-7 days to pay. Emails are usually sent over the weekend, and request payment by the following Thursday. Non payment for tickets you request in this period is frustrating, as if there is no one to take those tickets, we then need to personally contact Arsenal and cancel tickets, which is additional work for us, and them to process a refund. So this will be noted on file, and you might recieve less priority for oversubscribed matches

iv) Number of Tickets required by Arsenal Australia is then confirmed with the Arsenal Box Office.

v) Arsenal send us the PDF tickets to distribute approx. 1 week before the match.

vi) Arsenal Australia then try to distribute the tickets 4 days prior to matchday.

WHEN ARE TICKETS AVAILABLE?

Tickets generally become available on the Ticketing page between 10-12 weeks prior to the Match day for Premier League matches, and the application window will often be open for 2 or 3 weeks. European, FA and League cup matches become available on the Ticketing page soon after the draw is made, and often the application window may only be open for 1 week. Arsenal determine the length of the application windows. If a non Member, then you can check which games are available from the 'Ticketing' update in the 'News' section

HOW DO I PAY FOR THE TICKETS?

If your application is deemed successful, the email will provide details of payment options - Bank Transfer or Paypal.

Arsenal Australia apply $7 to each ticket, to cover surcharges from Arsenal, Credit Card company, and any flucuation in exchange rate. Paypal incurs a 3% surcharge

The email will request prompt payment (approx 4 business days). Non payment for tickets within this period will result in AASC offering tickets to the next person in line.

WHAT IF MY PLANS CHANGE AND I CAN NO LONGER ATTEND?

If inform Arsenal Australia in plenty of time, we usually have a waitlist of people who applied after the closing date, and can offer them tickets.

Arsenal offer annual (red, Silver, Gold) Memberships which allow Members to apply for tickets directly with the club. But Arsenal do not take ticket requests from people wanting tickets in the Arsenal Australia allocation, and direct any ticketing enquiries back to the official supporters club in your country.
