Buy Arsenal vs Brentford tickets for the 2026/27 Season. The Premier League fixture is scheduled for Tuesday 5 January 2027 at 19:30 GMT at Emirates Stadium in north London, giving buyers a midweek evening match in the first week of the new year. The date and kick-off have been selected for television, so anyone travelling into London can plan around a confirmed evening slot rather than the original provisional fixture-list slot.

This is a London meeting with two very different ticket markets behind it. Arsenal home seats are distributed through a members-first ballot system and the ground operates close to capacity for league matches, while travelling demand from west London adds another concentrated group of buyers. The Arsenal tickets listing is useful if your dates are flexible and you want to compare this match with another Emirates fixture before committing.
For this particular night, the practical buying decision is less about whether the stadium will be busy and more about which section fits your budget, how much atmosphere you want and whether you need a home or visiting-supporter area. The sections below keep those decisions separate so you can compare the trade-offs before paying.
Arsenal and Brentford are separated by a short journey across London, which removes the travel barrier that can soften demand for some midweek away fixtures. Brentford supporters can reach north London without an overnight stay, while Arsenal draw a much wider domestic and international audience. That mix places pressure on both home-area listings and the visiting allocation even though the fixture is not a traditional derby on the scale of Arsenal against Tottenham.
Emirates Stadium holds around 60,700 spectators and regularly operates near full occupancy for Premier League football. Visiting clubs typically receive around 3,000 league seats in the south-east corner, so the supply available to Brentford followers is a small part of the building. Buyers wanting to follow the visitors can compare the wider season through the Brentford tickets listing, but this match carries the extra attraction of a London away day and a night kick-off.
The timing matters as well. A 19:30 start on Tuesday 5 January sits immediately after the festive programme, when many supporters are still in London and some overseas visitors extend New Year trips. Evening football also concentrates arrivals into a shorter window around work and rail travel. If you are buying several seats together, that can make grouped listings more valuable than simply taking the lowest single-seat price.
The buyer mix is unusually broad for a fixture that is not a major historic derby. Local supporters can travel across London after work, visitors can pair the match with a city break and neutral football travellers often target the Emirates because its transport links make an evening fixture practical. Those groups tend to want different things from the same inventory, which is why less central upper-tier seats, premium longside seats and grouped pairs can all move at different speeds.
January weather is another small but practical factor. The roof covers the seating bowl, although wind-driven rain can still reach some front rows and the walk to the ground is exposed in places. A buyer choosing between a front lower-tier seat and a higher covered position should think about comfort as well as distance from the pitch. Warm layers and a compact waterproof are more useful than carrying extra bags through stadium security.
Yes, but the route is different from Arsenal's club sales process. Premier League home seats at the Emirates are primarily distributed to eligible members through ballots and member resale routes rather than a normal public on-sale. Paying for membership does not guarantee a seat because demand can exceed the number released for each match, particularly when supporters want two or more places together.
A secondary marketplace provides an alternative for buyers who do not hold Arsenal membership, who missed a ballot or who need a specific quantity. Listings can be compared by section, quantity, price and delivery format before purchase. That is particularly useful for visitors building a London trip around one match because waiting for a later club window may not suit fixed travel dates.
Brentford away access is also limited by allocation. Supporters using club channels normally face eligibility rules based on attendance history and membership, while the available visiting seats remain capped by the away section. If you are buying for the Brentford side of the ground, make sure the listing clearly identifies a visiting-supporter area rather than assuming any seat in the stadium will be suitable.
Resale pricing for January 2027 will move with five main factors: seat location, demand at the time you buy, the confirmed evening kick-off, the Premier League setting and whether the listing includes premium or hospitality access. Upper-tier positions generally give the broadest choice, central longside seats command more and grouped seats can carry a premium when availability tightens. Treat every figure below as a planning range rather than a fixed quote.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £160 – £230 | Value-led buyers | Usually the widest spread of listings and a useful place to start comparisons. |
| Longside standard | £210 – £340 | Clear side-on views | East and West Stand positions rise as the seat moves closer to halfway. |
| Lower tier / central | £250 – £420+ | Closer matchday feel | Supply can tighten quickly because the lower bowl has fewer comparable seats. |
| Premium seating | £350 – £650+ | Comfort and stronger sightlines | Premium categories vary by location and the facilities attached to the listing. |
| Hospitality / VIP | £495 – £1,550+ | Full matchday packages | Package content differs, so compare lounge access, food and seating before purchase. |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The most useful comparison is not simply the first number on screen. A slightly higher-priced seat with two places together, a clearer section description or a delivery method that suits an overseas trip can be better value than a lower single seat that forces your group to split. For a January evening, also weigh the cost of changing travel against the saving from waiting for a possible late listing.
Emirates Stadium is a four-tier bowl with the North Bank behind one goal, the Clock End behind the other and the East and West stands along the touchlines. Before choosing a listing, use the Emirates Stadium seating plan to match the block to the level and side of the ground. The wider Emirates Stadium tickets listing is useful when you want to compare the same area across several home dates.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Bank lower | Home atmosphere | Mid to high | A vocal Arsenal end. Choose it for energy rather than a neutral matchday feel. |
| Clock End home areas | Behind-goal view | Mid | Home sections sit behind the south goal, with the visiting corner separated nearby. |
| East Stand longside | Tactical view | High | Side-on sightlines make it attractive to buyers who want to follow shape across the pitch. |
| West Stand longside | Central viewing | High | The tunnel side of the ground, with central positions normally carrying stronger prices. |
| Upper tier corners and ends | Broader availability | Lower to mid | A sensible starting point when price matters more than being close to the pitch. |
| Brentford away section | Visiting supporters | Allocation-led | South-east corner where the Clock End meets the East Stand, usually around 3,000 league seats, accessed through gates K, L and M. |
If you are neutral or simply want a calmer view, a longside or upper-tier home listing is usually easier to assess than the most vocal ends. Brentford supporters should use a visiting-supporter listing rather than a home section. Home areas are intended for Arsenal supporters and visible away colours can create entry problems where supporter segregation applies.
The upper tier deserves more attention from first-time visitors than the word "upper" might suggest. The bowl is steep enough to preserve a clear view of both penalty areas and the continuous design keeps the far side easy to follow. Buyers who care about tactics, passing lanes and the whole shape of the match can prefer that overview to a lower seat near one corner. It also tends to create more comparable listings across several blocks.
Lower-tier buyers trade some overview for proximity. The movement, pace and physical side of the match feel more immediate close to the pitch, especially behind the goals. The compromise is that action at the opposite end is harder to read and central lower positions are less plentiful. Decide which part of the experience matters most before comparing rows inside one narrow block.
Hospitality changes the purchase from a seat-only decision into a longer matchday. At the Emirates, premium areas sit around the middle levels and longside zones, with packages varying from lounge access to dining-led products and private spaces. The exact inclusions matter more than the package label because food, drinks, opening times and seat location can differ between listings.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Club Level seat | Couples and small groups | Premium middle-tier position with improved concourse facilities. |
| Lounge package | Supporters making a full evening of it | Pre-match indoor space with food or drinks depending on the package. |
| Dining package | Client hosting and celebrations | A more structured pre-match meal paired with premium seating. |
| Private box or suite | Corporate groups and larger parties | Private hosting space with a group-focused match view and service. |
Hospitality can also solve a quantity problem. Standard pairs and groups often disappear before single seats because sellers have fewer contiguous blocks to offer. A premium package may cost more per person but can give a group a clearer path to sitting together, particularly when four or more people are travelling on the same booking.
Read the inclusions carefully before paying. Some packages are seat-led with lounge access, while others include a fuller dining programme. The right choice depends on whether your priority is the football view, time indoors before a winter evening match or a setting suitable for guests.
Digital delivery is common for Arsenal fixtures, but the delivery method shown on the individual listing controls what you receive. The important point is to follow the instructions attached to your order rather than assuming every ticket arrives in the same format. For mobile entry, the safest matchday habit is to have the live ticket ready before you reach the turnstile.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Complete any acceptance steps before travelling and keep the live ticket available on your phone. |
| Mobile wallet or app | Load the ticket in advance, keep the device charged and raise screen brightness at the gate. |
| E-ticket or PDF | Follow the listing instructions on whether the file should be printed or displayed on a device. |
| Collection or other arranged handover | Read the collection location and timing carefully, then allow extra time before kick-off. |
Review the listing notes before matchday, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone if entry is mobile. Emirates Stadium uses security searches and the busiest queues build close to kick-off, so arriving early reduces the risk of spending the opening minutes outside. Bags larger than A4 size are restricted, which makes travelling light the simplest option.
For this 19:30 start, the rush-hour overlap is important. Arsenal, Finsbury Park and Highbury and Islington are the main rail and Underground choices around the ground, but station management can change before and after a full house. Allow a margin for queues rather than timing your arrival to the minute.

If your party needs to sit together, choose a listing that states the required quantity together rather than assuming separate seats will be adjacent.
Step6
Review delivery details
Read the stated delivery format and any mobile-transfer instructions so the method works with your travel plans and device access.
Step7
Complete payment
Confirm the order total, supporter section, quantity and contact information before submitting payment.
Step8
Follow the order through delivery
Use track order to follow the booking status and complete any final delivery instructions before travelling to the stadium.
Quantity can be as important as section. A single upper-tier seat may remain available after pairs in the same zone have gone, while three-seat and four-seat groups can become scarce much earlier. Buyers travelling with children or friends should therefore compare the available quantity first, then narrow the choice by stand. This prevents a good-looking individual price from distracting you from the cost of keeping the party together.
Time to kick-off changes the balance too. Early buyers normally have more choice across stand and quantity, while later buyers may see fresh individual listings as plans change. Neither pattern guarantees a lower price. The safer method is to decide what you would pay for an acceptable seat and act once the market reaches that combination.
There is no single perfect purchase point because a resale market moves in both directions. More listings can appear after plans change, but attractive grouped seats can also disappear. The useful approach is to set a budget range, decide which two or three areas you would accept and buy when a listing meets all three needs.
International buyers should plan around the confirmed Tuesday evening slot while leaving some margin in the wider itinerary. London gives you several airport and rail options, but a same-day arrival creates unnecessary risk when the match starts at 19:30 and peak-hour transport is busy. Staying at least one night in the city gives you time to deal with ticket delivery instructions without making the match dependent on a delayed flight.
Digital delivery makes overseas purchasing practical because many orders can be fulfilled without collecting a physical ticket, although the individual listing remains the source for the exact method. If seats together matter, select a listing that states the required quantity as a group. Do not assume two tickets bought separately will be placed next to each other later.
London hotel location matters less than rail access. Staying around King's Cross, St Pancras, Islington or another area with a straightforward Underground connection can be more useful than paying extra to sleep beside the stadium. After the final whistle, the closest station can be heavily managed, so a walk towards Finsbury Park or Highbury and Islington may spread the crowd across more routes. Build that post-match walk into any late train plan.
Match dates can move during a Premier League season, but this fixture has already been selected into a Tuesday 19:30 television slot. Even so, transport disruption and operational changes are always possible. Flexible hotel and rail terms give travelling supporters more protection than building an itinerary with no time margin at either end.
The Premier League version of this meeting at Emirates Stadium is still relatively young because Brentford only returned to the top flight in 2021. The first five league visits produced three Arsenal wins and two draws, with every match decided by no more than two goals. That pattern matters to buyers because it has made the fixture competitive without requiring decades of rivalry history to create tension.
Brentford's first league trip to the Emirates in this era ended 2-1 in February 2022. A year later the visitors left with a 1-1 draw, then Arsenal regained the edge with another 2-1 win in March 2024. The April 2025 meeting finished level before Arsenal recorded the widest win in this exact stadium-and-competition scope, 2-0, in December 2025.
The distinctive feature is consistency. None of the first five Emirates league meetings became a rout, Brentford twice took points and Arsenal still remained unbeaten in the exact scope. For a buyer, that creates a fixture with a clear home favourite in the historical record but enough resistance from the visitors to keep the evening from feeling routine.

No. Marketplace listings can be bought without entering Arsenal's members-only ballot, although you should still select the correct home or visiting-supporter section for your party.
Buy when the section, quantity and price fit your plan rather than waiting for a guaranteed low point. Groups have fewer comparable listings than solo buyers, so pairs and larger sets can tighten earlier.
Visiting supporters are normally in the south-east corner where the Clock End meets the East Stand, with league allocations around 3,000 and entry commonly through gates K, L and M.
The method depends on the listing, with mobile transfer and digital delivery common for Emirates fixtures. Read the delivery details before purchase and complete any transfer steps before travelling.
Yes, when a listing states that the requested quantity is together. Grouped inventory is more limited than single seats, so confirm the quantity arrangement before payment.
