Emirates Seating Guide: Best Seats, Views & How to Get Tickets

The Emirates holds 60,704 fans and sits in the middle of North London. It opened in 2006 and unlike a lot of older English grounds, views all around the stadium are fantastic.. That said, where you sit absolutely changes your experience. Here's what you need to know before you buy.

Emirates Stadium Seating Chart

The Emirates has four main stands: the North Bank, the East Stand, the West Stand, and the Clock End to the south. Each stand splits into a lower and upper tier, with Club Level and executive boxes sitting in between. Away fans go in the lower tier of the southeast corner.

North Bank Lower - Best for Atmosphere

This is where the noise of Arsenal's most vocal supporters. The pack sit in the North Bank Lower and on a Champions League knockout match, a North London Derby, the atmosphere here is as good as anything in English football. The tighter confines of the lower tier keep the sound in, and you feel the crowd.

Best for: Die-hard Gooners, first-timers who want the full experience, European nights
Note: It's officially a seated stand, but don't expect to stay in your seat for long.
Typical price: £100+ on the secondary market, depending on the fixture.

West Stand Upper Tier - Best Views in the Ground

If you actually want to watch the tactical side of football, the shape, the press, who's making the runs, the West Stand upper tier is where you want to be. You're elevated along the long side of the pitch which gives you the full picture end to end. The shortside upper tier at the Emirates offers similar height in the corners, but the long side upper is the better in every way.

Best for: Tactical watchers, anyone who wants clear sight
Upper tier tip: Aim for the middle rows, not too high, not too close to the front
Typical price: £100+

Clock End Lower - Best for the North London Derby

The Clock End is where Arsenal's faithful really turn it up for the big ones, and nothing brings it out more than Spurs coming to town. You're right behind the goal, close to the action, and when Arsenal are attacking that end it gets loud fast.

Best for: Derby days, fans who want to be close to the goal, atmosphere over sightlines
Typical price: £150+

East Stand Lower - Best for Families

The East Stand is the calmer side of the ground. It's not quiet exactly, but the crowd here tends to be more mixed families, first-timers, supporters who want to watch the game without standing through most of it. The views from the lower tier are solid and it's consistently the most accessible part of the stadium when it comes to price.

Best for: Families, first visits, anyone who wants a relaxed matchday
Typical price: £120+, regularly the best value Emirates Stadium seats going

Club Level - Best for Premium Views

Club Level sits between the lower and upper tiers and gets you the best of both worlds. You're high enough to see the whole pitch clearly, close enough that the game feels immediate. The seats are wider and the overall experience is an upgrade. Tickets here are limited and priced accordingly, but if you're spending a day out rather than just watching Arsenal play football, it's worth considering.

Best for: Premium experience, comfort, unbeatable views
Typical price: £500+ including hospitality, fixture dependent

Quick Tips Before You Buy

North London Derby and Champions League nights go fast. The two fixtures that define what the Emirates can really be. Book the moment they go on sale.
Arsenal vs Man City and Arsenal vs Liverpool are the other ones that disappear quickly. Have your alerts set.
East Stand lower tier is your best bet if budget matters, good views, decent atmosphere, and usually the last section to sell out.
The front rows can catch the weather. All seats are under the roof but if rain is blowing in at an angle, the first few rows on the exposed sides get it.
Give yourself extra time getting there and back. Arsenal tube station on the Piccadilly Line gets overwhelmed after a game. Finsbury Park is a slightly longer walk but gives you the Victoria Line and National Rail options too.
