Win Arsenal Champions League tickets: How to land a pair in London this weekend

Arsenal fans are living the dream this season. Top of the Premier League and into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Mikel Arteta’s side have officially become the capital’s last representatives in Europe’s elite competition. But while the team has done its job on the pitch, the battle for fans has shifted to the box office.

With Arsenal carrying the hopes of the city into the quarter-final, tickets have become the ultimate 'gold dust' commodity.

However, if you’ve been priced out or been unlucky to miss out on ticket so far, a massive opportunity is heading to East London this weekend that could see you in the stands for the next leg of the journey.

The Shoreditch event

This Saturday, April 4th, bet365 is taking over Dray’s Walk Gallery in Shoreditch (E1 6QL) to give fans a rare, final chance to bag tickets. As an Official Global Partner of the UEFA Champions League, they are hosting an in-person "Big Ticket Giveaway" starting from 1pm.

The stakes are simple: there are ten pairs of tickets up for grabs for the quarter-finals, a chance to witness Arsenal's high stakes second leg against Sporting on Wednesday April 15th.

Prove your "ball knowledge"

You won’t just be handed these tickets, though. In the spirit of the competition, you’ll have to earn your spot. Fans will be challenged to a UCL-themed quiz to test their European football credentials. Only those who can handle the pressure and prove their "ball knowledge" will be entered for the chance to win a pair of tickets.

The event follows the massive success of the global Big Ticket Giveaway ballot, which launched in 2024 and has seen a staggering 1.9 million applications. To date, almost six thousand lucky supporters have experienced the unrivalled atmosphere of a Champions League night thanks to the initiative.

Jon Riley, bet365 PR Operations Manager, explained the excitement behind the event: “The Big Ticket Giveaway in Shoreditch is the perfect way to celebrate our partnership with the UEFA Champions League. With Arsenal flying the flag as London’s sole representative, the energy in the city is incredible right now. We’re thrilled to give fans a taste of that magic and the chance to be there in person for the biggest nights in football.”
