Emirates Stadium: Club Level explained
Emirates Stadium in north London is the home of Arsenal Football Club, hosting Premier League and European fixtures and the occasional concert. Its premium experience is built around the middle tier, where Club Level seats pair a central view with access to indoor lounges and restaurants. This guide explains, in general terms, how Club Level and premium seating at the Emirates are organised and what to verify before booking; we quote no prices, as inclusions and availability change by event.
What Club Level means at the Emirates
Club Level is the middle tier of the stadium, set between the lower and upper tiers and running around the ground. Its defining feature is that a Club Level seat comes with access to the indoor restaurants, bars and lounges on the same level, so you can dine and relax before kick-off and at half-time without leaving the warmth. The seats themselves are central and elevated to a strong viewing position. It is the stadium’s flagship premium product for supporters who want more than a standard matchday.
Who Club Level suits
- Supporters who want a central, elevated view with the comfort of an indoor lounge.
- Fans who dislike queuing on busy concourses and value table or lounge service.
- Those who attend regularly and want a consistent premium seat across the season.
- Guests entertaining others who want hosted facilities alongside good seats.

Match day on Club Level
The draw of Club Level is the rhythm of the day: arrive early, settle into a restaurant or lounge, take your central seat for the match, and return indoors at half-time rather than queuing on an open concourse. The seats sit on the tier that most consider the best vantage point in a modern stadium — high enough to read the game, central enough to feel close to the action. Entry times and lounge opening can differ from general admission, so check your ticket details and arrive in good time.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Club Level at Emirates Stadium?
- Club Level is the stadium’s middle tier, between the lower and upper tiers, where a seat comes with access to indoor restaurants, bars and lounges on the same level. It combines a central, elevated view with hosted indoor facilities you can use before kick-off and at half-time.
- Does a Club Level seat include food and drink?
- Club Level provides access to restaurants and lounges, but whether dining is included or bought separately depends on the fixture and the type of ticket or membership. Always confirm the inclusions on the official listing before booking.
- Is Club Level sold per match or as a membership?
- Both have applied. Club Level is associated with longer-term seat arrangements that cover a season, and seats are sometimes available for individual matches too. Check whether you are buying a single fixture or an ongoing membership before committing.
- Is Club Level worth it over a standard seat?
- That depends on what you value. The seats sit on the tier widely regarded as the best vantage point, and the indoor lounge access adds comfort on cold or wet days. If position and hosted facilities matter to you, it is a meaningful upgrade; if you only want the cheapest entry, it is not for you.
