Question for boxoffice@arsenal.co.uk :

Is it for me as a foreigner (non-member) possible to get tickets for one of the premier league matches at highbury?

Answer:

"Unfortunately, the demand for tickets far exceeds supply and almost all of our games sell out in advance to members (strictly 1 ticket per member).
Currently, there is a possible 4+ year waiting list for Ticket Registration Scheme Membership.

Tickets go on sale to members 2 calender months in advance and, if any remain, to non-members approx 1 calender month prior to the game. In this event, full details will be posted on our website under 'tickets'.

We wish we could be of more help, however, we receive hundreds of e-mails each week requesting tickets (mostly from overseas) which we are simply
unable to supply."

 

As far as I know the training ground isn't public.
If you want to visit the Shenley training ground anyway, go to underground station High Barnet.
From this station you can get bus 84 to St. Albans (twice each hour). Get out at intersection 22 (the Bell round). Walk towards Radlett along the B556 (Bell Lane). After 500m. you'll find the traing ground on your left.

 

 

Undergroundstation Arsenal (Piccadilly Line) is about 10 meters away from the entrance of the North Bank Stand.

Finsbury Park station (Piccadilly Line) is about ten minutes walk from highbury. This station is more quiet on matchdays though.

Same story for station Highbury & islington (Victoria Line). 15 minute walk from Highbury, but more quiet.

Arsenal announced their plans for a new stadium at Ashburton Grove (5 min. from Highbury).
They hope to be able to use the 60.000 seater stadium at the start of the 2004/2005 season. Highbury will be an housing area in the future.
