Arsenal to raise ticket prices for 2025/26 despite fan pressure | OneFootball

Arsenal are set to increase ticket prices for the 2025/26 season, despite mounting calls from supporters and the Football Supporters’ Association for a league-wide price freeze.

The increase comes as clubs such as Liverpool, West Ham, and Brentford have pledged to maintain their current prices.

The decision follows months of discussions with seven fan groups on Arsenal’s Fan Advisory Board, with the club making some concessions to soften the impact.

While Arsenal reported record revenues of £616m, they also posted £17.7m in losses last year.

The season ticket price hikes for 2025/26 will see a 3% increase in the upper tier and 5% in the lower tier.

The normal season ticket contain 23 matches (all home Premier League games and four UEFA Champions League home matches) while a new 19-match option (league games only) offers no real savings, just a lower upfront cost.

Matchday tickets will also rise across all categories.

Fans must also attend or transfer at least 20 games (23-match holders) or 17 (19-match holders) to renew the following season.

The club will continue concession tickets and provide 1,000 free tickets to the local community.

Arsenal also cancelled 26,000 touting accounts, though regular fans still bear the brunt of rising costs.

Under KSE ownership, season tickets have risen year-on-year since 2021, making football at the Emirates increasingly expensive for loyal supporters.
