Buy Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Premier League fixture set for Saturday 5 December 2026 and kick-off currently listed at 17:00. The venue is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the 62,850-seat ground that opened in 2019 on the site of White Hart Lane. This is the north London derby, the match both sets of supporters circle the moment the fixture list lands.

The recent record here gives it extra heat. Arsenal have won the last four league visits to this stadium, including a 4-1 win in February 2026, so the home crowd arrives with something to settle. Anyone following Tottenham Hotspur this season will treat this as the fixture of the winter.
Supply is the problem for buyers. Derby tickets at this ground go to season ticket holders and members long before any general sale and the away allocation is a fraction of the 62,850 seats. A Saturday evening slot in December, with both clubs chasing a strong season, only sharpens demand.
Nothing else on Tottenham's home calendar sells like this. The north London derby carries local pride, national television coverage and a global audience, so demand arrives from season ticket holders, members, corporate buyers and overseas visitors at the same time. In practical terms, the ground could be filled several times over.
The visitors matter as much as the hosts. Arsenal take an allocation of around 3,000 for a Premier League match here, which is nowhere near enough for their own waiting list of members. Plenty of Arsenal supporters who miss the ballot end up watching elsewhere and some look for neutral seats in the home areas, which is not permitted.
Recent results have raised the temperature further. Arsenal's run of four straight league wins at this stadium has given the fixture a clear storyline and Tottenham supporters want it broken in front of a full house. Derbies with an obvious grievance attached always draw more interest than routine fixtures.
Timing adds to it. Early December falls just before the Christmas programme, when London fills with visitors and a weekend trip built around a derby is an easy sell. Groups and families booking a football weekend often start with this date.
Arsenal are playing Champions League football this season, which compresses their calendar and makes weekend league dates the easier ones for most fans to attend. For buyers, the message is simple: this is not a fixture to leave until the final week.
Corporate demand is a factor too. A ground with this much premium capacity draws business buyers for every fixture and a derby is the one they book first. That takes another slice out of the seats a general supporter might otherwise reach.
Through the club, it is very hard. Tottenham sell derby tickets to season ticket holders first, then to One Hotspur members in priority order, usually through a ballot for the highest-demand matches. General sale rarely happens for a fixture like this.
Membership alone is no guarantee. Members with longer records and more points sit ahead in the queue and a first-year member has little chance of a derby seat. That is why so many supporters look elsewhere once the ballot result lands.
A verified resale marketplace gives you a route that does not depend on ballots or loyalty points. You can pick the area you want, see the price up front and buy without holding a membership. For overseas buyers, it is usually the only realistic way into this match.
Groups benefit most. Club sales cap how many seats each account can buy, which makes it hard to keep four or six people together. Marketplace listings show how many seats sit side by side, so a group can plan properly rather than splitting across the ground.
Arsenal supporters should buy only listings that confirm seats inside the away section. Derby segregation is strict, stewards act quickly on away colours in home areas and a wrong purchase can mean being turned away at the gate.
Timing still matters on the resale route. Listings tend to appear in waves, first when the fixture is confirmed and again once season ticket holders know they cannot attend. Watching the market over a few weeks usually beats buying in a rush on the final weekend.
Five things shape the price for this match. Seat location comes first, with the halfway line in the lower tier at the top of the range. Demand follows and a derby sits at the very top of Tottenham's pricing order.
Timing matters as well: prices move as the 2026/27 season unfolds and the kick-off time is confirmed. Competition context counts, because a derby outranks a standard league match and even most European nights, such as Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund across north London. Finally, the hospitality tier you choose sets its own bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, corners | £180 – £320 | Budget-minded derby buyers | High up with a full view of the pitch; the entry point for this fixture |
| South Stand | £200 – £380 | Fans who want the loudest atmosphere | Single-tier home end of around 17,500 with rail seating |
| Longside, upper tier | £250 – £450 | Buyers who want a balanced view | Side-on and elevated, popular with visitors to London |
| Longside, lower tier | £350 – £650+ | Fans who want to be close to the action | Held largely by season ticket holders, so supply is thin |
| Hospitality / VIP | £700 – £2,000+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Dining, lounge access and a padded seat; derby packages sell early |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Derby pricing sits far above a standard league fixture at the same ground. That gap reflects how little reaches the open market rather than any difference in what the ticket gets you on the day.
The ground is a continuous bowl of four stands, designed to hold noise in. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seating plan shows how the tiers and corners are arranged.
For the wider matchday picture, from the history of the ground to getting there on the day, see our guide to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It pairs well with the seat advice below.
The single-tier South Stand behind one goal holds around 17,500 and is the largest stand of its kind in the country. It is steeply raked, fitted with rail seating and home to the loudest support. The two long sides carry the premium seating and most of the hospitality, while away fans are housed in the lower tier of the north-east corner.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Stand | Fans who want noise and colour | Middle | Rail seating that converts to safe standing; expect to stand all match |
| Longside, lower tier | Buyers who want to be close to the pitch | Upper | Held largely by season ticket holders, so listings are scarce |
| Longside, upper tier | Visitors who want a clear overall view | Middle to upper | High and steep, with a strong view of the shape of the game |
| North Stand | Neutrals and families | Middle | Behind the opposite goal, calmer than the South Stand |
| Corner blocks | Groups and budget buyers | Lower to middle | Angled view, often the easiest place to sit together |
| Away section (north-east corner, lower tier) | Arsenal supporters | Middle | Around 3,000 seats for a league match, reached from Northumberland Park; Arsenal colours only here |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the upper tier of a long side or the North Stand. Both give a fair view of the game without putting you in the middle of either support. If you are travelling with Arsenal fans, buy inside the away section rather than a neighbouring home block.
The steepness of the upper tiers is worth knowing about. Sightlines are excellent, but the rake is sharp, so anyone uneasy with heights may prefer a lower row or a seat in the lower tier. Families with young children often find the North Stand the easier choice.
The South Stand is a genuine experience on derby day, with rail seating and constant noise for ninety minutes. It is not the place for a quiet afternoon and it suits fans who want to stand and sing rather than sit and watch.
Corner seats deserve a second look for this fixture. They are usually the lowest-priced listings in the ground and because the bowl is continuous the angle is less punishing than at older stadiums with separate stands. For a derby, a corner seat you can afford beats no seat at all.
Accessible seating is spread across the ground. If you or a member of your group needs an accessible place, confirm with the listing notes before paying that the seat suits your needs, including space for a companion.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium Seats | Couples and small groups | Padded seating with lounge access and food included |
| Stratus | Guests who want a social pre-match setting | A high-level premium space with its own bar and dining |
| Loges | Small private parties | A reserved area for a group with a dedicated service |
| The Tunnel Club | Corporate guests and special occasions | Glass-fronted views of the players' tunnel with fine dining |
The club's published premium range covers seasonal memberships as well as single-match packages and derby fixtures are usually the first to sell out. If hospitality is the plan, start looking early rather than a fortnight before kick-off.
For a December evening, hospitality has a practical upside. You spend the build-up indoors with food and drink, then take your seat shortly before the teams come out. With derby seats so scarce, it can also be a surer route into the ground than a standard ticket.
Read what each package includes before you commit. Dining style, drinks, seat location and arrival times vary between the tiers and the right choice depends on whether you want a long pre-match meal or a quicker, more relaxed option.
Hospitality guests should also note the earlier arrival times. Most packages open several hours before kick-off and include a set dining window, so the day starts well before the teams appear. If you have travelled into London that morning, build the extra time into your plans.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | That the transfer opens on your phone and shows in the correct app before matchday |
| E-ticket (PDF) | That the file displays clearly and matches the seat described in the listing |
| Paper ticket or card by courier | That your delivery address is correct and someone can sign for the envelope |
| Collection in London | The meeting point, collection window and contact details in your order confirmation |
Read the listing notes before you pay, since they show the delivery method and any restriction on the seat. Bring valid photo ID on matchday in case stewards ask for it and charge your phone fully if you are using a mobile ticket.
Tickets for Premier League matches are often released to sellers close to matchday, so do not worry if yours arrive in the final week. Your order stays covered throughout and the delivery timeline appears in your confirmation email.
Only personal bags of A4 size or smaller are allowed inside, up to 21cm by 30cm and every bag is searched. Larger bags and rucksacks are refused and there is no left-luggage service at the ground, so travel light or leave your bag at your hotel.
Turnstiles usually open around two hours before kick-off. Arriving early clears the bag search and the entry gates without the last rush and it gives you time to see the concourses and the bars, which are part of what makes this ground stand out.
The area around the ground fills early on derby day. Bars on Tottenham High Road and the stadium's own concourse bars open well before kick-off and the club's on-site brewery and food outlets are part of the draw. Plan to arrive with time to spare rather than cutting it fine at the turnstile.

Value is not only about the lowest number on the screen. For a derby, a seat that keeps your group together and sits in the right section for your team is worth more than a lower-priced single somewhere awkward. Set a budget first, then pick the area that gives you the most for it.
It also helps to be realistic about what a derby costs. Prices here start well above a standard league match, so a plan built around midtable pricing will not survive contact with this fixture.
One more thing to weigh is who you are going with. A first-time visitor will get more from a seat with a clear view of the whole pitch than from a place among the singing sections, while a lifelong supporter may want the opposite. Match the area to the person rather than to the price alone.
Overseas buyers have plenty of choice on delivery. Mobile transfers and e-tickets suit anyone flying in the day before, while courier delivery works best if you have a fixed UK address and time to spare. All the London airports connect to the city easily and the stadium sits in north London with its own rail links.
Seats together are easier to secure early, so groups should not wait for the last week. Keep your travel plans flexible where you can, as Premier League fixtures move once the television picks are confirmed and a Saturday match can shift to Sunday. Refundable hotel rates and later flight booking reduce that risk.
White Hart Lane station is the closest, a few minutes' walk from the ground, with Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale on the Victoria line within a longer walk or a short bus ride. Away supporters use the entrances reached from Northumberland Park station along Park Lane. Expect crowded platforms after the final whistle and allow extra time for the journey back.
If you are building a longer trip, the return derby at the other end of north London, Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur, falls later in the season and makes a natural second visit.
The north London derby goes back more than a century, to Arsenal's move north of the river in 1913 and their election to the First Division six years later, a decision Tottenham have never forgotten. The rivalry has been shaped by title races, cup ties and the constant question of which club sits above the other.
The stadium era began in 2019 and the early years belonged to the hosts. Tottenham won 2-1 in July 2020 and 2-0 that December, then produced a 3-0 win in May 2022 that shaped the race for the top places at the end of the season.
Since then the balance has swung. Arsenal won 2-0 here in January 2023, 3-2 in April 2024 during a title challenge, 1-0 in September 2024 and 4-1 in February 2026. Four straight league wins at this ground is a run no Tottenham supporter needs reminding of.
That is what gives the December meeting its shape. Tottenham need a result to break the pattern in front of their own crowd, while Arsenal arrive with recent history on their side. Derby form rarely follows the table, which is part of why the fixture holds its grip.
What makes this fixture distinctive is that form counts for less than the occasion. Seven league derbies at this stadium have produced no draws at all, which tells you how open these games tend to be. For a buyer, that means a match where something usually happens.
The setting carries its own weight. The stadium stands on the site of White Hart Lane, where Tottenham played for well over a century and the club moved back in 2019 after two seasons at Wembley. Supporters who remember the old ground still treat a derby here as the fixture that defines a season.
The ground itself has become part of the story. With 62,850 seats it is the largest club stadium in London and the single-tier home end gives the derby a wall of noise that the old White Hart Lane could not match on size alone.
The figures below cover all Premier League derbies played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Tottenham as hosts, from the ground's opening in 2019 to the present.
Seven matches have produced seven results and no draws, with Arsenal edging both the wins and the goals. The current run belongs firmly to the visitors, who have taken the last four.
