Arsenal are closing in on their first Premier League title in over two decades, and the intense demand from fans has prompted Crystal Palace, their final-day opponents, to introduce “enhanced security measures” for ticketing. Meanwhile, tickets for Arsenal’s upcoming home match against Burnley on Monday are being listed on resale sites for more than £1,200 per seat.
If Manchester City lose to Crystal Palace on Wednesday, Mikel Arteta’s side could clinch the Premier League title—for the first time since 2004—as early as Monday if they defeat already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in their last home game of the season.
According to SeatPick, a ticket search engine aggregating prices from resale platforms, more than 2,500 tickets for the Burnley match are listed, with many executive-level seats priced well into four figures. Individual tickets range from £650 to £1,200. For context, Arsenal’s most expensive adult season ticket for the 2025-26 season (excluding hospitality) costs £2,112 and covers 23 matches, including four Champions League ties; the cheapest is £1,127.
Due to strict resale policies enforced by both the club and the Premier League, there is no guarantee that ticket holders who purchase through secondary resale websites will be allowed entry into the Emirates.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, announced on Tuesday that they have disabled ticket sharing for the final-day fixture at Selhurst Park. “Any supporter found sharing a ticket will be banned from buying a season ticket or membership next season,” the club said. Palace, who face Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final three days after that game, added that tickets will only be available to those who had a club account before December 1, and that “enhanced security checks” with searches will be conducted on matchday.
**What is the situation with resale sites?** Several ticket platforms listing these tickets are classified as “known unauthorised ticket websites” by the Premier League, and SeatPick appears on that list. Under UK law, buying and selling unauthorised Premier League tickets is illegal. However, many secondary-ticket resale websites are registered overseas, allowing them to operate outside the UK’s jurisdiction and remain accessible to UK-based buyers. SeatPick, for example, is a marketplace based in Israel that functions as a ticket search engine and comparison site.
In some cases, the tickets listed for Arsenal’s Burnley match do not specify exact seats but instead indicate a general area—such as “Shortside Upper Level.” The cheapest resale tickets are listed at £400, though these are in the away section, while others still exceed £1,200.
**How are Arsenal trying to combat reselling?** Arsenal enforce one of the strictest ticket resale policies in the league, actively monitoring unauthorised websites and conducting ID checks on matchdays. To further deter resales, they only recognise their own ticket exchange as an authorised marketplace. This platform allows season ticket holders to resell their seats for sold-out home matches to other Arsenal members at face value, with a 10 per cent admin fee deducted from the seller.
For the Burnley match, tickets on Arsenal’s official exchange are sold out and available only to paid-up members of the club’s loyalty programme, which has different tiers. Burnley, already relegated, did not sell out their allocation and returned 1,500 tickets to Arsenal, which were then added to the official exchange last week and sold to members—priority given to those who missed out in the original ballot.
This surge in demand coincides with Arsenal also reaching the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest on May 31. There has been some backlash over the number of tickets Arsenal received from UEFA, the competition organisers. Both finalists were allocated 17,200 tickets (the stadium holds over 60,000), and Arsenal announced that 16,834 would be available for general admission. These were distributed via a ballot system, with successful supporters able to start purchasing tickets on Wednesday.
