Arsenal cancelled 24 season tickets last season as part of the club’s efforts to ensure the Emirates Stadium is fully booked every week.
Due to the growing demand for tickets, the club implemented a final season that required fans to use their season tickets for 17 of 22 matches.
If unable to attend in person, fans were asked to make their season ticket available on Arsenal’s price-price ticket exchange platforms or price-price ticket movement platforms to ensure that it was used.
The club has shown that 24 season tickets have been cancelled because those fans did not comply with the required use.
For the 2024/25 season, fans must use their season ticket for 20 of 23 matches, otherwise it will be cancelled.
The measures have been implemented by Arsenal to ensure that each and every seat is used at a time when demand for prices is booming due to the team’s good fortune under Mikel Arteta.
The club also cracked down on the applications, banning 20,000 members and 54 season ticket holders for attempting to download season tickets in an unauthorized manner.
Next season, the club will continue to invest more in anti-fixation measures, adding more protection, organising more operations on the pitch and dedicating more internal resources to taking action.
Arsenal will continue to use a voting formula next season as it is the fairest way to allocate tickets to paying members.
After consultation with the Arsenal Advisory Board, members who have participated in 20 or more surveys and have not passed any surveys will be asked to obtain a ticket for a set number of matches before Christmas.
This equates to about three hundred members and guarantees that those who were unlucky enough to be absent will have the opportunity to attend a match.
