For fans of the beautiful game, there’s nothing quite like soaking in the match day atmosphere and getting up close to all of the on-pitch action – but if rowdy crowds and lengthy queues detract from you enjoyment of those all-important 90 minutes, then it might be time to consider splurging on a VIP package for 2023.
Injecting some much-needed luxury into your game day experience, you can expect lavish, gourmet hospitality, private suites with privileged panoramic-view seating and the five-star treatment all round.
These are the best VIP packages available to enjoy next season, handpicked by Fantasy Football Hub – the leading online platform for everything related to Premier League fantasy football, including the latest FPL tips, analysis and expert insights.
Manchester United, Old Trafford
As football stadiums go, it doesn’t get much better than Old Trafford – which is arguably one of the most iconic venues in the country and of course, is home to Manchester United Football Club. The prestigious Sir Alex Ferguson Stand is the place to be if you’re in search of a premium spectator experience, and you can enjoy exclusive front-row seating that puts you in prime position for taking in the pitchside action, as well as enjoying some truly mouth-watering gourmet cuisine prepared by award winning chefs, and free flowing wine and champagne.
Add to that the exclusive access to the players’ tunnel, where you can witness the electric pre-match atmosphere, and the chance to meet some of the club’s legends face-to-face that a VIP ticket will afford you, and for Man-U fans, it’s undoubtedly money well spent.
For £250 per person for a group of eight, you can swing yourself the Executive Box, which allows you to arrive three hours ahead of the match and includes valet car parking on request.
Chelsea, Stamford Bridge
For supporters of London club Chelsea, the luxurious experience on offer at Stamford Bridge is second to none, and the sophisticated aesthetics of the West Stand’s hospitality suites promises unparalleled views of the pitch. Guests are greeted with a lavish champagne reception, before sitting down to enjoy a truly indulgent three-course meal prepared by some of the nation’s best-known chefs.
Before kick off, you’ll even have the chance to take part in an exclusive, access-all-areas, behind-the-scenes stadium tour – taking you everywhere from the players’ dressing rooms to the pitch itself. If you’re eager to enjoy the pre-match build up and revel in the aftermath in a more relaxed environment and meet like-minded football enthusiasts in a civilised and opulent space, then the Chelsea luxury experience promises to uplevel match day to opulent new heights.
A Platinum VIP ticket comes in at £600 per person, and allows you to arrive two and a half hours ahead of kick-off to ensure you have plenty of time to make the most of it.
Arsenal, The Emirates
The premium hospitality packages at the Emirates stadium is highly sought-after amongst Arsenal fans, but not everyone can afford the price tag that it comes with. Still, if money is no object then it’s undoubtedly worth the expense, because the Club Level boxes offer a unique and special viewing experience and a host of plush services and amenities. Here, the catering is next level, and you can enjoy an impressive dining experience featuring dishes prepared by some of the most acclaimed Michelin-starred chefs in the world. For pre-match drinks, the Diamond Club is the place to be, and offers up an exquisite selection of beers, fine wines and cocktails to enjoy at your leisure.
During the match itself, you can enjoy spectacular views of the pitch and get up close to all of the home action as it unfolds. And after the 90 minutes are up, you’ll have the chance to meet some of Arsenal’s biggest football stars and ask them all of your burning questions, promising a truly gold-standard VIP experience like no other.
There are a variety of different packages to choose from, including Matchball, which at £900 per person, gets you Premium Club level seats, a private booth for four in The Foundry Restaurant, and the presentation of a squad-signed football by a current Arsenal men’s first team player to take away with you on top of all of the above.
