I spent way too much time trying to figure out how people actually get Premier League tickets, so sharing what I found in case anyone else is planning a trip to the UK 😅
There are basically 5 routes:
1. Club membership: Probably the most common route if you support one club. You pay for membership, then get access to ticket sales/ballots before the public. Arsenal, for example, sells home tickets through a members-only ballot. Still no guarantee for big games though. Premier League’s club-by-club guide is useful:
premierleague.com/en/tickets
2. Season ticket: Best if you’re going regularly. The problem is getting one in the first place. At high-demand clubs, existing holders renew first and waiting lists can be huge. For example, Arsenal’s season-ticket membership literally has a waiting list:
arsenal.com/membership/gold
3. Hospitality / travel packages: Probably the easiest option for overseas visitors because you can combine a match ticket with hotel/hospitality and plan the whole trip in advance. It costs quite a bit more though. There are examples of official Premier League travel packages here:

4. Secondary marketplaces: This can be useful when you’re after one specific match and official tickets are already hard to find. I came across Uquid Tickets, where you can directly buy individual Premier League tickets with 100+ crypto, without needing a club membership. It’s a convenient option for anyone specifically searching for ways to buy Premier League tickets with crypto like USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH etc.
I initially found out about the platform through this Benzinga piece:
benzinga.com/content/5178781…
Their actual football listings are here if you want to compare availability:
tickets.uquid.com
Just check the home club’s ticket/resale rules before buying anywhere on the secondary market. The Premier League has a pretty detailed warning about this too:
premierleague.com/en/tickets…
5. General sale: The dream scenario 😂 You don’t need a membership and just buy whatever remains after the priority windows. This seems much more realistic for lower-demand fixtures. Liverpool, for example, says a limited number can reach general sale depending on availability, while Spurs says home games are unlikely to get that far.
LOL who knows getting tickets to see my fav team could be so complicated...
