As Arsenal prepares for the Champions League final, they will distribute tickets exclusively through a mobile app. This move aims to prevent scalping and ensure that tickets reach genuine fans.
Arsenal has received an allocation of 16,824 General Admission tickets for the final, which takes place on May 30, 2026, at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. The match is set to kick off at 5 PM BST.
The Puskás Aréna has a total capacity of 67,215 fans. Ticket prices will range from €70 to €950, depending on the category.
All tickets will be issued as 100% Mobile Digital Tickets. Arsenal stated, “We are pleased to share ticketing information for the UEFA Champions League Final 2026 at the Puskás Aréna.” Ticket sales will occur via the UEFA ticketing portal.
This decision follows Arsenal’s successful campaign, having reached the final after defeating Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals. The club’s strategy reflects a growing trend in sports to combat ticket scalping.
Officials have confirmed that there will be no paper tickets available for this event. Instead, all transactions and transfers must occur through the mobile app, enhancing security and accessibility.
UEFA emphasized their commitment to fan experience, stating, “To prevent scalping and make sure tickets end up in the hands of real fans, UEFA will distribute tickets exclusively via the UEFA Mobile Tickets app.” This approach aligns with broader efforts across sports leagues worldwide.
