The final-day slot is one of the most predictable on the calendar, though broadcasters can still adjust the time.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
This is Arsenal's last home game of the season as defending champions. The club ended a 22-year wait for the Premier League title in 2025/26. The final day at the Emirates is the natural moment for the crowd to celebrate another campaign. For every home date across the season, our Arsenal listings cover the full calendar in north London.
Brighton are no pushover here. They have won three of their nine Premier League visits to the Emirates, including a 3-0 win in May 2023. Five of the nine meetings here have been drawn or settled by a single goal, keeping the contest alive until the final whistle. The most recent ended 2-1 to Arsenal in December 2025.
The Emirates holds more than 60,000. Every meeting with Brighton played in front of a full crowd since December 2019 has drawn more than 60,000. Arsenal sell nearly all of those seats to season ticket holders and members, so general availability for a final-day fixture is close to zero. Listings on 1BoxOffice currently start from around £1,152, a sign of how little stock is on the market this far out.
Brighton & Hove Albion bring a loyal travelling support for a short trip up to London. Their allocation sits in the lower tier of the south-east corner, sold through Brighton's own ticketing to members and regular away travellers. Brighton fans without an away ticket have no other legitimate way into that section. Visiting clubs in the Premier League are entitled to up to 3,000 tickets; for a final-day trip to London, that allocation is usually taken quickly.
European football adds another layer. Arsenal are in the Champions League in 2026/27, with ties such as Bayern Munich vs Arsenal keeping their profile high with overseas fans, while Brighton compete in the Conference League. Visitors who miss a European night often choose the final day as their Emirates trip instead.
The title win changed the mood around the club. Arsenal had finished as runners-up in each of the three previous seasons before finally getting over the line in 2025/26. The Emirates crowd now arrives expecting more of the same. A last home game as defending champions is the kind of occasion supporters want to say they attended.
Brighton's own rise adds interest for neutrals. Promoted in 2017 after a 34-year absence from the top flight, the club has become a Premier League regular, played its first European campaign in the Europa League in 2023/24 and returns to continental competition in 2026/27. Their reputation for developing talent makes them a popular watch for visiting football fans.
The champions' last home game carries its own appeal. Final-day matches at the Emirates end with the players' lap of appreciation, while supporters stay long after the whistle to mark the season. For first-time visitors, that farewell can be as memorable as the match. Because every final-day game starts at the same time, results from other grounds also ripple around the stands as the afternoon unfolds.
Hospitality follows the same pattern. Club Level, boxes and premium lounges are largely held by seasonal clients. The final home game is also one of the most sought-after dates for corporate guests. Single-match packages are rare and sell quickly.
Not through the club. Arsenal sell home tickets for the current season only through member ballots, with a separate entry window for each match. Club-published figures for other 2026/27 home games show Red members succeeding only around one time in nine and Silver members a little under half the time, so even membership guarantees nothing.
A ballot win gives you a seat, not a choice of block. After the ballot, the ticket exchange is open only to members, starting with those who missed out. Buyers without membership have no access to either route.
Even successful members often receive their digital tickets only days before a match. That timing applies across the market, so a delivery in the final week is normal rather than a cause for concern.
For overseas fans the barriers are higher still. Every ticket at the Emirates is digital and tied to a club account. Paying for a membership on the chance of a ballot win makes little sense for a single trip to London.
The resale marketplace removes those barriers. You choose the stand, see the full price before you commit and receive your tickets through a verified delivery method. You do not need a membership, a ballot entry or ticket credits. Listings also stay open after the club's allocation has gone.
One rule matters on the day. Home sections are for home supporters, so Brighton fans who buy outside the away corner should dress neutrally. Stewards can move or eject supporters who celebrate in the wrong section.
Five drivers set the price: seat location, overall demand, fixture timing, competition context and hospitality tier. With the defending champions playing their last home game of 2026/27, demand sits near the top of the Premier League range. The ranges below are anchored to the current floor of around £1,152.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £1,150 – £1,500 | Buyers who want to be inside the ground | Upper North Bank, Clock End and corners |
| Longside standard | £1,300 – £1,800 | Couples and small groups | Outer blocks of the East and West Stands |
| Lower tier / central | £1,500 – £2,200+ | Neutrals wanting a central view | Central lower East and West blocks, usually first to sell |
| Premium seating | £1,800 – £2,800+ | Fans wanting padded seats and bars | Club Level, between the lower and upper tiers |
| Hospitality / VIP | £2,500 – £5,000+ | Corporate guests, special occasions | Lounges, executive boxes and fine dining |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Supply is the deciding factor this far out. With the match more than seven months away, very few seats have reached the market, which keeps the floor high. More listings usually appear once the broadcast schedule for the final rounds is confirmed and season ticket holders know their plans.
Treat the current floor as an early-market price rather than a fixed level. A champions' final home game will always command a premium, but the gap between today's listings and matchday prices depends on how many season ticket holders release seats in the spring. Buyers who are certain about the date can secure seats now, while others may prefer to watch how supply develops.
Compare listings on more than the headline figure. Two seats at a similar price can differ by tier, row and distance from the away corner, which changes the afternoon far more than a few pounds. The listing notes also show how and when the digital ticket will be transferred.
Seats together are the scarcest stock of all. Families and groups should prioritise listings marked as seats together and be ready to accept a less central position to secure them.
Hospitality moves least. Packages are priced per head and largely held by seasonal clients, so resale supply is small and prices hold steady. When a package does appear for the final day, it tends to sell quickly to corporate buyers and supporters marking a special occasion.
The Emirates opened in 2006, a short walk from Arsenal's old Highbury home. It has four stands: the North Bank and the Clock End behind the goals and the larger East and West Stands along the touchlines, with Club Level running above the lower tier all the way round. The Emirates Stadium seating plan shows every block in detail.
The bowl is fully covered and there is no running track, so sightlines are good from almost every seat. The upper tiers of the longside stands give one of the clearest views of the game in the Premier League, with the whole pitch laid out below.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Bank | Fans who want noise and colour | Mid | The lower tier is the heart of the home atmosphere; expect to stand and sing |
| Clock End | Home fans who want an end view | Mid | Named after the clock from Highbury, with a lively section near the away corner |
| East Stand | Neutral buyers wanting a side-on view | Mid to premium | The upper tier gives one of the clearest views of the pitch |
| West Stand | First-time visitors and hospitality guests | Mid to premium | The main stand with the dugouts, tunnel and many premium areas |
| Club Level | Couples and small groups | Premium | Padded seats between the tiers with restaurants and bars |
| Away section (south-east corner) | Brighton supporters | Club allocation | Lower tier, entered through turnstiles K and L; Brighton colours only here |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should choose the East or West Stand. Both give a full side-on view and a clear look at the North Bank in full voice. All matchday options sit within our Emirates Stadium tickets range.
The North Bank lower tier is the place for buyers who want the full home experience on the final day. Expect songs throughout and a crowd that stays for the lap of appreciation. It is not the place for anyone hoping to sit quietly.
The Clock End deserves a note on matchday. Its home sections sit close to the away corner, separated by segregation, so expect plenty of noise between the two sets of supporters. Neutrals who want calm and a central view are better served on the longsides, where the atmosphere is lively but far less partisan.
Families do well in the upper longside tiers, where the crowd is calmer and the view is excellent. Height matters at the Emirates: lower rows bring you close to the pace of play, while upper rows show the shape of the game and the whole bowl.
Club Level offers a middle ground between general seating and hospitality. The padded seats sit between the two main tiers, with access to bars and restaurants, which suits buyers who want comfort without a full dining package.
The Emirates has one of the largest premium areas in English football, with Club Level running around the stadium and a range of packages from pitchside experiences to executive boxes. For the final home game, nearly every premium seat is taken by seasonal holders or sold well in advance.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Club Level seat | Individual fans and small groups | A padded seat between the tiers with access to Club Level bars and restaurants |
| Shared lounge package | Couples and friends marking an occasion | Pre-match dining in a shared lounge with drinks and a reserved seat |
| Executive box | Corporate groups | A private box with catering, a dedicated host and seats overlooking the pitch |
| Pitchside or fine dining experience | Clients and guests you want to impress | Premium dining with some of the closest seats to the action |
If you are booking hospitality through the marketplace, read the listing carefully. Confirm what is included, whether food and drink are covered, the dress code and the time the lounge opens.
Hospitality also solves the seats-together problem for larger groups. A shared table or executive box keeps everyone in one place, which is close to impossible to arrange in the general stands for a final-day sell-out. At current price levels, the gap between a central general seat and an entry-level lounge package can be smaller than expected.
Lounges open well before kick-off, so guests can eat without rushing and avoid the crowds outside. For corporate buyers, a champions' final home game is one of the showpiece occasions of the season, which is another reason premium supply disappears early.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The wallet it uses, the name on the ticket and when it will be transferred to you |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Whether it can be scanned at the turnstile; entry is by digital pass or PDF ticket only |
| Ticket transfer | Whether you need a club account to accept it and how long the link stays active |
| Hospitality booking | The lounge, the entrance and the arrival time for dining |
Entry is fully digital, with tickets often released only in the final days before a match, so delivery in the week of the game is normal. Read the listing notes before you buy so you know the delivery method and timing. Charge your phone fully, add the ticket to your wallet in advance and save a screenshot as a backup. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask to see it at the turnstiles.
Turnstiles open two hours before kick-off. Bags must be smaller than A4. Holloway Road and Arsenal stations on the Piccadilly line are a few minutes' walk away, while Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington are around 15 minutes on foot. Holloway Road closes after matches, so plan your route home.
Arrive early on the final day. Queues build quickly in the last hour, while the post-match farewell means the stadium empties more slowly than usual. Allow extra time if you have a train out of London to catch.
Expect a heavier stewarding presence around the stations after the final whistle, with routes managed to keep crowds moving. Away supporters can be held back briefly while the area clears, but neutral fans leaving through home exits are rarely delayed.

Overseas buyers can choose mobile ticket delivery, which removes the need for a UK postal address. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City all serve the capital, with the Piccadilly line running direct from Heathrow to Arsenal and Holloway Road stations. If you are travelling as a group, pick listings that confirm seats together. Late May is a busy time in London, so book accommodation early.
Brighton supporters have a short journey, with direct trains from Brighton into central London taking around an hour. Visitors who want to see Brighton at home can also plan a trip to the Amex Community Stadium on the south coast. Final-day kick-off times are fixed for every Premier League ground, which makes this one of the safer dates to plan travel around.
Brighton's Premier League visits to the Emirates began with a 2-0 Arsenal win in October 2017, in the newly promoted side's first top-flight season for 34 years. A 1-1 draw followed in May 2019, then the result that changed the fixture: a 2-1 Brighton win in December 2019, their first league victory at the Emirates.
Brighton have made a habit of hurting Arsenal since. They won 2-1 here in April 2022 and 3-0 in May 2023, the latter a heavy blow late in a season when Arsenal were chasing the title. Arsenal have answered with home wins in December 2023 and December 2025, while the August 2024 meeting finished 1-1.
Some meetings have come in unusual circumstances. The May 2021 game, a 2-0 Arsenal win on the final day, was played in front of a reduced crowd as supporters returned after the pandemic. The May 2019 meeting, two rounds before the end of that season, ended 1-1 with both goals coming from the penalty spot.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how often it defies expectations. Arsenal start as favourites at home, yet Brighton have taken points from five of their nine visits. On the final day of 2026/27, the champions will want a home win to close the season, while Brighton will want to remind the Emirates of their recent success there. Few visiting sides arrive in north London with as much belief.
Figures cover every Premier League meeting at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal as hosts, from 2017/18 to 2025/26. Cup ties and matches at the Amex are excluded. Arsenal have kept three clean sheets in these nine games. They average 1.33 goals a game here, Brighton just over one.

Not on the resale market. Club sales run through member ballots, but marketplace listings are open to any buyer.
Supply usually grows once broadcast details are set, which can ease prices slightly. Final-day stock still tends to sell out well before kick-off.
Visiting supporters sit in the lower tier of the south-east corner, entered through turnstiles K and L.
Arsenal and Holloway Road on the Piccadilly line are a few minutes' walk away. Holloway Road closes after matches.
Yes, if the listing is marked as seats together. For larger groups, hospitality is often the simplest way to sit side by side.
