Arsenal are charging a staggering £130,000 for a hospitality box as they prepare for a potential Premier League title party. The Gunners host already-relegated Burnley next Monday night, and if results go their way, they will end their 22-year wait to be crowned champions.
Title Decider Looms
Currently leading by five points, Arsenal would have the chance to lift the trophy against Burnley if title rivals Manchester City slip up at home to Crystal Palace this Wednesday. A loss or draw for City coupled with a victory for Arsenal would create at least a seven-point gap, leaving Pep Guardiola's side with no chance of catching Mikel Arteta and Co. in their remaining two league games.
Premium Hospitality
Unsurprisingly, all tickets for Burnley's visit to the Emirates have been sold, including a 15-seater box that cost an eye-watering £130,000. According to the Times, Arsenal were selling the Executive Box N7, which normally starts at £100,000 for music concerts and football matches, but the price was bumped up for Monday's fixture.
The box is situated in the highest tier of the stadium, level with the halfway line. Perks for the 15 attendees include an Arsenal home shirt, food and drinks from the club's 'North Bank inspired menu', a personalised match-day programme, and a meeting with a Gunners legend.
"Step into your exclusive box and relax with your guests before kick-off, enjoying a North Bank inspired menu - featuring fresh starters, bold British mains, and crafted desserts - alongside inclusive drinks including champagne, wines, beers, and soft drinks," the description on Arsenal's website reads. "Throughout the day, you'll be looked after by your personal match-day host, with half-time and post-match light bites served inside your exclusive space."
What If City Win?
Of course, there will be no title party at the Emirates if City beat Palace and ensure that the race continues until next Tuesday at the earliest. That is when Guardiola's men will travel to Bournemouth for their penultimate game of the season. The match was pushed back to Tuesday because of City's involvement in the FA Cup final this Saturday.
Should they win both of their games either side of Arsenal's clash with Burnley, it will go down to a nail-biting final day, with City playing Aston Villa at home while Arsenal make the short journey across London to face Crystal Palace.
