Emirates StadiumSeating Guide: Where to Sit & Best Seats
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium (capacity 60,704) is a four-tier bowl in north London. From the pitch up: the Lower Tier (blocks 1–32), the premium Club Level (blocks 41–84), a Box Level of executive boxes, and the Upper Tier (around blocks 101–128). Blocks are numbered clockwise. The best balanced views are the West Stand long-side blocks at the halfway line; the Club Level gives the best comfort; the front rows of the Upper Tier give a clean 'TV-style' view; and away fans sit in the south-east corner (lower-tier blocks 20–22 and the upper tier above).
Configurations
Football (Arsenal — Premier League, Champions League)
Full bowl for every Arsenal home game. Long-side West and East stand blocks at the halfway line give the most balanced views; the North Bank and Clock End (behind the goals) are the loudest, most partisan ends. Away fans are housed in the south-east corner (blocks 20–22 plus upper tier above).
Concerts & events
The Emirates occasionally hosts large concerts and events with an end stage and the pitch as a standing floor. The front pitch standing area and lower-tier blocks facing the stage give the best views; blocks behind the stage are restricted or withheld.
Seating levels explained
Lower Tier (Level 1)
Blocks 1–32The closest tier to the pitch, wrapping the full bowl.

Cons: Low, flat sightlines make the far side harder to read; behind-goal and corner blocks are more end-on; the away corner is here (blocks 20–22).
Club Level (Level 2)
Blocks 41–84 (premium)The premium middle tier with rows numbered 1–9 and access to exclusive lounges and restaurants.

Pros: The lowest rows give a clean, elevated 'TV-style' view; corners give a wide panorama of the whole pitch. Cheapest general seats.

- South-east corner (away allocation, blocks 20–22): Corner position with a more angled view; allocated to visiting supporters.
- Front-row Lower Tier seats: Pitch-side hoardings and officials can intermittently block the lowest view.
