VIP hospitality tickets for Arsenal vs Manchester City in the Community Shield are available from £199, according to FourFourTwo.
The publication reports that fans can watch the season’s traditional curtain-raiser from the VIP hospitality section at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with packages sold via hospitality provider Seat Unique.
What’s being sold, and who’s selling it
FourFourTwo’s report positions the offer as a way to take in the Community Shield in added comfort, with hospitality access starting at the headline price point. The match itself pits Arsenal against Manchester City, a high-profile meeting that traditionally serves as the first major domestic showpiece ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
While standard ticketing details and allocations are typically handled through clubs and the relevant organisers, the FourFourTwo piece focuses specifically on the hospitality market and the availability of VIP packages through Seat Unique.

Why the £199 starting price matters
Hospitality has increasingly become a prominent route for fans looking to attend major fixtures when general sale options are limited, or when supporters want to lock in a premium matchday experience. A starting point of £199 will be viewed by many as a comparatively accessible entry into VIP seating for a headline event featuring two of English football’s biggest draws.
It is also a reminder of how the matchday economy has evolved around marquee fixtures: as demand spikes, clubs, venues and authorised partners lean on tiered products—from general admission to padded-seat hospitality—to cater to different budgets and expectations.
