How to get tickets for Arsenal vs Real Betis: Everything you need to know

Arsenal will continue their preparations for the 2026-27 season when they face Real Betis at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday, 5 August 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 7:30pm local time (7:30pm BST).

The friendly marks Arsenal's first pre-season match in the Republic of Ireland since facing Chelsea at the same venue in 2018, while it will also be the first-ever meeting between Arsenal and Real Betis. 

With the Gunners enjoying a large following in Ireland, demand for tickets is expected to be high, and FootballGroundGuide explains everything supporters need to know about buying tickets for the match.

Official ticket channels

Supporters should always buy through official ticketing channels wherever possible and here are the places they can get that for this game..

Arsenal

Arsenal supporters can purchase tickets through the club's official ticket portal. Season ticket holders and Arsenal members were given priority access – a pre-sale window from Wednesday, 25 March at 2pm – before any remaining tickets went on general sale. 

Availability will depend on demand, so supporters should check the club website regularly for updates.

Ticketmaster Ireland

Ticketmaster Ireland is the official ticketing partner for the Aviva Stadium and is selling tickets for the fixture.

Real Betis supporters have also been directed to purchase tickets through Ticketmaster Ireland from Friday, 27 March at 10am, making it the main platform for any remaining general sale tickets. 

The Aviva Stadium does not sell tickets directly in advance of the match, with the stadium directing fans to Ticketmaster or Arsenal.

Hospitality tickets

Supporters looking for a premium matchday experience can purchase hospitality packages through Seat Unique.

Packages include premium seating alongside food and drink options, with access to exclusive hospitality areas. Availability is limited, and prices vary depending on the package selected.

Buying tickets on the secondary market

If tickets sell out through the official channels, several resale platforms, including SeatPick, Ticombo, Fanpass and TickPick, may have tickets available.

Supporters should only use reputable resale websites that provide buyer protection and should avoid purchasing tickets from individuals on social media or unofficial websites.

As this is Arsenal's only scheduled pre-season match in Ireland and the first meeting between the two clubs, demand is expected to remain strong in the weeks leading up to kick-off.
