  1. Conditions of Issue Governing Membership

 

2.1You shall (subject to the provisions regarding Gold and Platinum Members set out in paragraph 2.3 below) pay the Fee to the Club (or as otherwise directed by the Club) on an annual basis. In the event that you fail to pay the Fee when due, the Club (or such other entity as the Club shall direct) shall be entitled to charge you an administration charge and any bank charges incurred by the Club. The Fee payable by Gold and/or Platinum Members is included in the price of an Arsenal season ticket and no additional Fee is therefore payable by Gold and/or Platinum Members.

 

2.2On commencement of your membership in accordance with paragraph 2.3 below, the Club will activate and/or dispatch the membership card (whether in physical or digital format, as the case may be) (the “Membership Card”) to you, no later than the first day of the relevant football season (or 28 days after the Club receives payment, whichever is later). Alternatively, you may be required to physically collect the Membership Card from the Club’s box office, with physical evidence of your identity. A membership pack will not be sent to you if you have selected any “Lite” variance of a Membership. You shall be entitled to the relevant benefits listed in the application form and on the Website from time to time. However, if any of the items or other benefits listed in the application form or on the Website are unavailable, the Club reserves the right at its sole discretion to substitute for such items similar items of equivalent value as the Club may from time to time decide in its sole discretion.

 

2.3Your membership shall commence on the date of receipt of the appropriate Fee (which, in the case of Gold and/or Platinum Members, shall be the date of receipt of the appropriate payment for an Arsenal season ticket). Your Membership is valid for the 2019-2020 season from the date of receipt of the Fee (unless expressed to terminate earlier or unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms and Conditions), after which it will (unless renewed) expire.

 

  1. Use of Membership Card

 

3.1In order to obtain any Emirates Stadium-based benefits, you must present a valid Membership Card for inspection by the Club. In particular, the Membership Card must be brought to all of the Club’s home matches and other events (where instructed by the Club) at the Emirates Stadium to which you gain entry using the Membership Card and you must make the Membership Card available for inspection on demand by any steward, security officer or other member of Arsenal staff.

 

3.2The Membership Card is personal to you and is not transferable and shall not be transferred, save as permitted by the terms of the relevant Terms and Conditions of Entry.

Any refunds will be payable in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the relevant Terms and Conditions of Entry.

You shall also be both individually and collectively responsible and liable to the Club for any loss the Club suffers as a result of the behaviour of a third party gaining access to a match using your Membership Card.

 

3.9The unauthorised sale or disposal of a ticket may amount to a criminal offence, including under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, and such sale or disposal is also illegal under the terms of section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006. The Club may inform the police when it becomes aware that ticket(s) have been sold or disposed of illegally and will press for charges to be brought against those breaking the law. We may also notify the PL about ticket touting activities relating to you, who may in turn notify other football clubs, event holders, any Football Authority and/or the relevant law enforcement authorities. We may also notify other football clubs directly. Similarly, the Club may receive information from the police, the PL and other football clubs relating to ticket touting activities elsewhere in the UK. The information that may be collected and shared by the Club and the above third parties could include personal data such as your name, contact details, image, data relating to criminal offences and your past ticket activity and purchases (including payment details). The Club processes this information where necessary to identify and prevent ticket touting activities, which is in our legitimate interests and the interests of other football clubs. The processing may also be necessary in order to prevent or detect unlawful acts.

Silver Membership will be allocated according to the length of time that Membership has been held.

 

10.5The Club reserves the right to restructure, change and/or withdraw any level and/or type of Membership and/or the associated benefits from season to season.

  1. Membership Plus Offer

 

11.1At the Club’s discretion, you have the right to pay the Club an additional £4.00 per year (the

 

Plus Fee”) in order to join the Club’s waiting list for a Gold Membership season ticket. This right

 

is offered to Red, Silver, Senior Citizen and Cannon Members, as well as Junior Gunners with the

 

exception of “Welcome to Our World” level Junior Gunners.

 

11.2Once you have paid the Plus Fee for three consecutive years then, as long as you have paid all other amounts owing to the Club, you will join the Gold Membership season ticket waiting list at the point that you would have been on had you joined the waiting list as a Gold Member on the date you paid the first Plus Fee.

 

11.3You will be on the Gold Membership season ticket waiting list until you either become a Gold Member, or the Club decides in its absolute discretion to remove you from the Gold Membership season ticket waiting list. The Club reserves the right to cancel or vary the Gold Membership season ticket waiting list process at any time and at its sole discretion.

 

11.4The total Plus Fee paid by you constitutes the deposit for your Gold Membership season ticket. If you do not pay the Plus Fee for three consecutive years, you will lose your deposit, your Plus Fee resets to zero, and your total Plus Fee paid so far becomes the property of the Club.

 

  1. Suspension or Cancellation of Membership

 

12.1The Club may suspend or cancel the Membership Card (and all associated benefits) in the event of you, or any other person occupying a seat purchased using the Membership Card, being ejected or banned from Emirates Stadium or any other sports ground anywhere in the world, breaching any of the Terms and Conditions of Entry or any other of these Terms and Conditions, or in the event of any abusive, dangerous or other unacceptable behaviour by you.

 

12.2In the event of the suspension or cancellation of your Membership under paragraph 12.1 above, the Club will be under no obligation to refund the Fee paid by you (or any part thereof) in relation to your Membership and to the maximum extent permitted by law will have no other liability in connection therewith.

 

12.3If the Club has reasonable grounds to suspect that you have searched for, reserved, bought or otherwise obtained match tickets and/or attempted and/or taken preparatory steps to search for, reserve, buy or otherwise obtain match tickets, with the intention of selling or transferring any such tickets in breach of these Terms and Conditions, the Club may suspend or cancel the Membership Card (and all associated benefits) without payment of any refund of the Fee to you.
