Arsenal to charge up to £6,500 for new tunnel club offering ‘the most exclusive seats in the ground’ next season | OneFootball

Arsenal have introduced a new high-end hospitality package at Emirates Stadium for next season. 

The Times claims it offers supporters a luxury matchday experience costing up to £6,500 for a single Premier League fixture.

The ‘Touchline’ package places guests in some of the closest seats to the action inside the stadium. 

Located behind the dugouts, the seats provide a unique view of the match and manager Mikel Arteta’s animated presence on the touchline throughout the game.

Supporters purchasing the experience will receive a premium hospitality package that includes a champagne reception, a luxury dining menu and the opportunity to meet a former Arsenal player. 

The club describes the seats as among the most exclusive available at the Emirates. Season ticket holders and academy staff have previously occupied the area. 

While Arsenal have not detailed how the seating allocation has changed, some supporter groups have expressed concerns that the move could further reduce the number of seats available to regular fans.

Arsenal are the latest Premier League club to offer this kind of package, with teams increasingly focusing on premium hospitality offerings.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City already offer similar tunnel-side experiences, and the Premier League champions are now set to follow that trend.

Despite the exorbitant pricing, Arsenal’s new package is surprisingly cheaper than City’s premium ‘Hero Experience’, which can cost up to £7,000 per person for selected matches.

Prices at Arsenal vary depending on the fixture. For the opening home game of the season against Coventry City, tickets are being sold at £3,199 per person. 

However, for the London derby against Chelsea in September, the price rises to nearly £6,500. 

With only a handful of fixtures currently listed, there is speculation that even higher prices could be charged for major games later in the campaign.
