How to get tickets for Fleetwood Town vs Arsenal: Everything you need to know

Fleetwood Town have been handed one of the biggest fixtures in the club's history after being drawn at home to Premier League champions Arsenal in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The League Two side earned their place in the last 32 with a 1-0 victory over Championship opposition Sheffield United on 16 September, setting up a first competitive meeting with Arsenal who reached the fourth round by beating Ipswich Town 4-2 at Portman Road.

The tie is scheduled for the week commencing 26 October, with Fleetwood's fixture page currently listing Tuesday, 27 October as the date. 

However, Fleetwood Town and Arsenal have both stated that the final kick-off time and ticket arrangements are still to be confirmed.

Here is everything supporters need to know about getting tickets for Fleetwood Town vs Arsenal.

Official route – Fleetwood Town FC

Fleetwood Town will be the primary source of information for supporters looking for tickets for the home areas at Highbury Stadium.

The club has confirmed that ticket information will be announced in due course, so supporters should monitor the official Fleetwood Town website and ticketing channels rather than relying on unofficial social media posts or third-party sellers.

The match is expected to generate significant demand because Highbury Stadium is a relatively small venue compared with most grounds Arsenal visit during the season. Fleetwood's official fixture information confirms the match will take place at Highbury Stadium on Park Avenue in Fleetwood.

Fleetwood supporters should wait for the club to announce the sales process before attempting to purchase tickets. The club has not yet published the number of tickets available, ticket prices, priority windows or whether there will be any general sale.

The Highbury Stadium ticket office can also be contacted on 01253 775080, a number previously published by Fleetwood Town for ticket enquiries.

Arsenal supporter tickets

Arsenal supporters should use the club's official ticketing channels for information about the away allocation.

Arsenal distributes away tickets through a priority system based on away points. Sales normally begin with supporters with the highest number of qualifying away points before further booking windows are opened if tickets remain.

The exact allocation for the Fleetwood fixture has not yet been published. Arsenal's own terms confirm that the number and price of away tickets are determined by the host club, while the eligibility criteria and allocation process are determined by Arsenal.

Supporters should therefore wait for Arsenal's dedicated fixture ticket information before making travel arrangements based on having secured a ticket.

Arsenal also operates an official Away Ticket Exchange for eligible supporters when the relevant fixture qualifies. Tickets through that system can only be purchased by supporters who meet the required away-point criteria for the match.

Avoid unofficial ticket sellers

Supporters should be particularly careful with this fixture because demand is likely to be high and the official ticket arrangements have not yet been announced.

Buying from individuals on social media or unofficial websites carries a significant risk. Arsenal warns supporters about ticket touting and has measures in place to identify tickets that may have been obtained or transferred improperly.

The safest option is to buy through Fleetwood Town for home tickets or Arsenal for away tickets. If an Arsenal supporter is unable to attend after purchasing an eligible away ticket, the club's official Away Ticket Exchange provides a legitimate alternative where the fixture is eligible for the service.
