Why this fixture sells out
Arsenal against Manchester United is one of the biggest games in English football. For years it decided titles, and the two clubs still draw some of the largest crowds in the league. The Emirates holds around 60,000, and nearly every seat is taken by a season ticket holder or a member, which is why so few tickets ever reach general sale.
A Saturday 3pm kick-off at the Emirates, a fortnight before Christmas, also suits travelling fans. Expect a full house and a lot of Manchester United supporters in London for the weekend. If you want the history behind the rivalry, read our Arsenal vs Manchester United rivalry guide.
How to buy Arsenal vs Manchester United tickets 2026
The official route is through Arsenal. Tickets for Premier League home games go to season ticket holders first and then to paying members in priority order, and most games are gone before there is anything left for the public. Manchester United's travelling fans get a small away allocation, sold through United's own members and loyalty system.
If you are not a member, or missed your window, Love1Ticket lists tickets from verified sellers, with prices shown including fees so the total you see is the total you pay. Resale tickets can cost more than face value, so check the price against your seat before you buy.

Where should I sit at the Emirates?
The two long sides, the East and West stands, give the best view of the whole pitch, and the lower tiers put you close to the action. The North Bank and the Clock End sit behind each goal. The North Bank is where Arsenal's loudest supporters gather, so it is the best choice if you want atmosphere. Our Emirates seating guide breaks down the views stand by stand.
Where do Manchester United fans sit?
Visiting supporters are housed in the lower tier of the Clock End. Away tickets are the most expensive in the ground because so few are released. If you want to sit with the home fans, choose a seat outside that section and keep the colours quiet.
Are there Arsenal vs Manchester United hospitality tickets?
Yes. Hospitality packages include a premium seat and food and drink before and after the game. Love1Ticket lists verified hospitality and VIP packages for this fixture.
How do I get to the Emirates Stadium?
Arsenal station on the Piccadilly line is the closest, a short walk from the ground. Finsbury Park and Holloway Road are also within walking distance and are usually less crowded after the final whistle. More on the ground and the area on our Emirates Stadium page.
