Ahead of the Real Madrid match, Arsenal has issued a significant ticketing update. Arsenal has implemented stringent measures to prevent the unauthorised acquisition of tickets for their eagerly
anticipated Champions League quarter-final match against Real Madrid. In the first leg of their last-eight encounter, the Gunners will host the defending champions at the Emirates Stadium on April 8. In order to guarantee that seats in the home section are designated for ”
genuine Arsenal supporters,” the club has implemented a ballot system and a purchase embargo, as the demand for tickets is at an all-time high. Arsenal clarified the new ticketing regulations in a statement on Thursday: “This implies that fans who acquire an Arsenal membership after Monday, March 3, 2025, will be unable to purchase tickets for this game.
” We have reached this conclusion after consulting with the appropriate authorities to guarantee that we are in compliance with the crowd segregation regulations. “It is important to mention that any visiting supporters who purchase a ticket in the home end for this fixture will be banned from the stadium.
“To guarantee equity and equality, Arsenal members will be granted access to tickets for home fixtures through a ballot system (embargo regulations apply).”The club considers ticket fraud to be a significant issue in light of the increasing demand for Emirates Stadium tickets. Their anti-touting operation encompasses regular seat inspections, specialist third-party operatives on the ground, and ticket collection requirements for both home and away matches.
The ballot system is also instrumental in the identification of illicit ticket activity. Arsenal has already removed 7,583 individual entries from the ballot as a result of suspicious behaviour, and 26,156 accounts have been deactivated for attempting to purchase tickets through unauthorised channels.
