If you’ve searched for Arsenal v Real Betis tickets, you’re almost certainly trying to work out whether you can still get into Wednesday’s game at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The short answer is yes, tickets are still available today through Ticketmaster Ireland and resale platforms, though official general sale allocations have been open since March and the closer we get to kick-off, the more you’re likely to be buying on the secondary market rather than at face value. This guide covers where to buy, what you’ll pay, and what to expect once you’re through the turnstiles.
You’ll find the official ticket channels, current price ranges, a same-day buying option if you’re reading this the night before, and the practical details for getting to the stadium and through the gates.
What Is the Arsenal v Real Betis Match?
Arsenal face Real Betis at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday, 5 August 2026, kicking off at 7:30pm local time, which is also 7:30pm BST. It’s a pre-season friendly ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League campaign, and it’s the first-ever meeting between the two clubs. It’s also Arsenal’s first match in the Republic of Ireland since they played Chelsea at the same venue back in 2018.
There’s a personal edge to the fixture too. Real Betis’ squad includes Héctor Bellérin, who spent 11 years at Arsenal before leaving the club, along with winger Antony, who scored on his debut against Arsenal while playing for Manchester United. Real Betis currently sit fifth in La Liga, so this isn’t a mismatch dressed up as a friendly; it’s a genuine test for Arsenal as they build toward the new season.
How to Buy Arsenal v Real Betis Tickets
There are two official routes into this match, and it’s worth using one of them rather than an unverified reseller, since Aviva Stadium doesn’t sell tickets directly and only points fans toward these two channels.
Buying Through Arsenal’s Official Site
Arsenal members and season ticket holders had priority access from 25 March at 2pm, before the game moved to general sale. If you’re an Arsenal member, checking the club’s official ticket portal is still worth doing today, since clubs sometimes release small batches of returned or unsold tickets in the final 24 to 48 hours before kick-off.
Buying Through Ticketmaster Ireland
Ticketmaster Ireland is the official ticketing partner for Aviva Stadium and has been the main platform for general sale tickets since 27 March at 10am, including allocation for Real Betis supporters. This is the most reliable place to check for remaining availability today, since it’s the primary channel the stadium itself directs fans to.
How to Buy Arsenal v Real Betis Tickets
- Go to Ticketmaster Ireland or the Arsenal official ticket portal and search for the fixture.
- Check which stands or categories still show tickets, since availability changes by the hour this close to kick-off.
- Select your seat category and confirm the price, including any booking fees added at checkout.
- Complete payment and choose e-ticket delivery if it’s offered, since physical postage won’t arrive in time for a next-day match.
- Screenshot or download your ticket confirmation before you travel, in case of poor signal at the stadium.
Arsenal v Real Betis Ticket Prices
Prices vary by seating category and have moved since general sale opened in March, so check the official listing for the current price before you commit, particularly this close to kick-off when resale prices can shift quickly in either direction. As a guide, official general sale pricing has been reported in the region of €78 to €132 depending on category, with some entry-level categories listed from around £40 on ticket comparison sites.
[Table: indicative price ranges by category and platform]
| Category | Typical range | Notes |
| Lower tier, general sale | From around £40 to €78 | Subject to change; check official site |
| Upper tier, general sale | Up to around €132 | Premium sightlines, higher demand |
| Resale marketplaces | From around $69 (roughly £54) upward | Prices fluctuate with demand close to kick-off |
| Hospitality packages | Priced individually via Seat Unique | Includes food, drink and premium seating |
Can You Still Get Tickets This Close to Kick-Off?
Yes, but your options narrow fast with less than 24 hours to go. Official general sale stock on Ticketmaster Ireland may still show availability in less popular categories, so that’s worth checking first before paying a premium elsewhere. If official channels are sold out, verified resale platforms such as SeatPick, Ticombo, Fanpass and TickPick have listed tickets for this fixture and are the safer fallback compared with buying from an individual on social media.
Given this is Arsenal’s only confirmed pre-season match in Ireland and the first-ever fixture against Real Betis, demand has stayed strong since tickets first went on sale, so don’t expect prices on the secondary market to drop in the final hours.
Hospitality and Premium Packages
If you want a guaranteed seat without competing for general sale stock, hospitality packages are sold through Seat Unique and typically include premium seating alongside food and drink, plus access to exclusive areas of the stadium. Availability is limited and prices vary by package, so this route suits fans who want certainty over saving money.
Buying on the Resale Market Safely
If official channels have sold out, only buy through resale platforms that offer buyer protection, rather than individual sellers on social media or classified sites. Reputable platforms typically guarantee a refund if tickets don’t arrive or turn out to be invalid, which unofficial sellers won’t offer.
A few things worth checking before you pay on any resale site:
- Whether the ticket is delivered as a mobile transfer or requires physical collection, since a next-day match rules out postal delivery.
- What the platform’s refund policy covers if the listing turns out to be fraudulent.
- Whether the seat category matches what you actually want, since some platforms use their own category names rather than the stadium’s official ones.
Getting to Aviva Stadium from the UK
Aviva Stadium sits on Lansdowne Road in Dublin, with a capacity of 51,700. If you’re travelling from the UK today or tomorrow, flights from London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol and several other UK airports run regularly into Dublin Airport, and the Dublin Ferries and Irish Ferries routes from Holyhead are a further option if you’re driving over. From Dublin Airport, the stadium is a straightforward taxi or bus journey into the city centre, with Lansdowne Road also served by DART rail services if you’re already staying in Dublin.
Given how close this is to kick-off, book flights or ferry crossings as early in the day as you can, since last-minute fares on the day of a major match tend to rise sharply.
What to Expect on Matchday
Aviva Stadium is now cashless across all bars and food outlets, so bring a bank card or use Apple Pay, Android Pay or Google Pay rather than relying on cash. Food and drink kiosks are open on all levels for ticket holders.
Arrive with enough time for security checks and to find your seat before the 7:30pm kick-off, particularly given the high demand expected for this fixture. Check the Aviva Stadium’s ground regulations and FAQs before you travel if you’re bringing bags or other items, since stadium security policies can differ from what you’re used to at Arsenal’s home ground.
