Once unfairly nicknamed 'the library', the Emirates has rediscovered its voice. The North Bank and the singing section in Block 25 drive a real wall of noise on big nights.

Tickets
Silver/Red Membership unlocks the ticket ballot. Hospitality on the official Arsenal site is the easiest guaranteed-seat route for travellers.
The Emirates Stadium tour runs almost daily and is a great morning activity before an evening kick-off.
Stands and where to sit
The North Bank is the home singing end. The Clock End opposite is also vocal. The two side stands — East and West — are split into Upper and Lower tiers.
Away fans sit in the south-east corner with around 3,000 seats. The view is good and access from Drayton Park station is well-managed.
Getting to the Emirates
Take the Piccadilly Line to Arsenal station (exit-only after the game) or the Victoria Line to Highbury & Islington (10-minute walk and the recommended route for after the game). Drayton Park station opens for select matchdays.
Pre-match pubs around the ground are home-fan-heavy; Upper Street in Islington is the better choice for a relaxed pre-match.
