What Are the Arsenal Canada Membership Tiers and What Does Each Include?
Updated
Arsenal Canada offers two membership tiers for the 2026/27 season: a Full Membership at $65 and a Ticketing Membership at $35, both one-time payments valid from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2027. The $35 tier is limited to home match ticket ballots; the $65 tier adds merchandise, discounts, and supporter competitions. Choose the Ticketing Membership if tickets are your only goal, and the Full Membership if you want the broader supporter package.

| Payment type | One time | One time |
Both tiers are described as one-time payments covering the full season window, so the difference is entirely in what each unlocks beyond tickets.
What the Full Membership Includes
The Full Membership is positioned as the complete supporter experience. Beyond ticket ballot access, it bundles:
- Branded merchandise exclusive to Arsenal Canada members
- Two merchandise discounts: 10% off at Soccer World and 10% off at Arsenal Direct
- Community competitions: entry to the Arsenal Canada FPL League and Pick 'Em prediction games
If you expect to buy Arsenal kit or gear during the season, the two 10% discounts are the clearest way to offset part of the $30 difference between tiers — though whether they fully cover it depends on how much you spend.
What the Ticketing Membership Includes
The Ticketing Membership is a single-purpose tier: access to ticket ballots for Arsenal home games at the Emirates. It carries no merchandise, discount, or competition benefits. For a fan whose only reason to join is getting into the home-ticket application process, this is the lower-cost route.
How Ticket Applications Work
Membership is the entry point, not the ticket itself. Arsenal Canada members can request tickets to home games, and the site lists upcoming application windows with separate open and close dates. For example:
- Arsenal v Manchester City (Nov 28, 2026) — applications open August 1
- Arsenal v Manchester United (Dec 19, 2026) — applications open September 1
- Arsenal vs Sabah (CL) — applications open September 14, 2026, close November 21, 2026, for a January 27, 2027 match at Emirates Stadium
Note that some listings show application deadlines well ahead of the match — the Hull City fixture on November 7, 2026 has a ticket application deadline of August 29 at 5PM EST. Check each fixture's dates individually rather than assuming a standard window.
Which Tier Should You Choose?
- Choose the Ticketing Membership ($35) if you only want to apply for home match tickets and have no interest in merchandise or supporter competitions.
- Choose the Full Membership ($65) if you want tickets plus the branded merchandise, the Soccer World and Arsenal Direct discounts, and entry to the FPL and Pick 'Em competitions.
Because both tiers include identical ticket ballot access, the decision comes down to whether the extra $30 in benefits is worth it to you. Neither tier guarantees a ticket — membership grants access to the ballot, and the application process and deadlines still apply.
