SPEAKER PREVIEW: Why customer service counts at Arsenal FC

Recognised as ‘world class’ in its entirety, Emirates Stadium’s premium seat offer changed London’s hospitality landscape when it opened in 2006.

Since then, the club has continued to ‘stay ahead of the game’ with new spaces, services and segmented offers.

Alongside the physical infrastructure, the club has invested in creating an unsurpassed service culture for both matchday and non-matchday customer experiences.
