What to do during that awkward period between Christmas and New Year? There may be no better option than kicking off the celebrations early by booking tickets to see Arsenal vs Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium on December 30.
Arsenal fans who cram into the Emirates week in, week out, are hoping that the progression their club has made under Mikel Arteta’s tutelage finally bears fruit this season. The Gunners have promised so much, and despite being there or thereabouts during recent campaigns, they’ve frustratingly continued to fall short in their quest for silverware. However, the Arsenal faithful continue to trust the process and continue flocking through the turnstiles.
The addition of high-calibre players (such as Zubimendi, Eze, Gyokeres, and Madueke) during the summer break has also boosted confidence amongst the Arsenal supporters. Demand for Emirates tickets may remain red hot as ever, but those who are eager to see the Gunners in live action on home turf this season shouldn’t give up hope just yet.
Are you expecting another thriller when Aston Villa come to the capital? Let GOAL break down all the choices available and show you all the vital information when it comes to securing a ticket to the Gunners’ final game of 2025.

How to buy Arsenal vs Aston Villa Premier League 2025 tickets
Buying Arsenal tickets directly from the club is notoriously difficult, as they rarely ever go on sale to non-members. Arsenal switched to a ballot system in 2022, so there is no traditional sales period in which tickets can sell out quickly.
Members have to enter a ballot, which opens around 6-8 weeks before a match and remains open for around 4 days, if hoping to purchase Arsenal match tickets. These are almost always over-subscribed, so is a lottery with low odds. During the 2024/25 season, the average success rate for ordinary Red Members in the ballots was just 9%.
As a rule, Arsenal Premier League tickets do not go on general sale. Demand is simply too high, and all matches sell out in the ballots. Only home EFL Cup tickets, which tend to be the least popular of any competition Arsenal play in, may go on sale to non-members.
While the official portal is the safest way for supporters to purchase Arsenal tickets, those looking to attend a match may wish to consider secondary resale sites such as LiveFootballTickets, with tickets from £289.90.

Everything you need to know about Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Arsenal will be well aware that they cannot afford to underestimate the potential threat that Aston Villa pose. The Birmingham-based outfit have proved to be very worthy adversaries of late and they’ve recorded top-7 finishes in the each of the past three seasons, which has resulted in consecutive European campaigns.
It’s the club’s best run of form since the Martin O’Neill years (2007-2010). Villa’s transformation has been masterminded by Unai Emery and that has added further spice to the recent Arsenal vs Aston Villa encounters because of Emery’s previous 18-month spell as Gunners’ boss (2018-2019).
Aston Villa famously completed the league double over Arsenal during the 2023/24 season, memorably keeping clean sheets during both those fixtures. The Villans also performed wonders at the Emirates last season, roaring back from 2-nil down to clinch a famous draw, thanks to goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins. It was the sixth season in-a-row that Villa had managed to find the net at least once in Arsenal’s backyard.
