Where you can park with visitor vouchers
Vehicles with a visitor voucher can park in:
- resident permit bays
- resident shared-use (permit or metered) bays
- in your area only. You can check your parking zone by typing your postcode into the 'Your local area' search.
Differences between paper and e-vouchers
- Paper vouchers are sent in the post and you display them in the windshield of the vehicle. You can't get a refund on paper vouchers and you can't use them during match day additional control hours.
- E-vouchers are online, so you can buy them to use now or up to two days before and you don't need to display them. You can use them during match day additional control hours.
Using visitor vouchers during additional match and event day controls
You can only use paper vouchers on match days until the extra restrictions start or after they end. If you still need visitors to park during the match day control hours, buy e-vouchers for that time only.

Events that we use additional match day controls for
The capacity for Emirates Stadium is around 60,000 visitors. Officially, additional match day controls are used for all games and events that will sell more than 10,000 tickets. This means:
- all Arsenal men’s and women’s football home games (for example, the average tickets sold for Arsenal women's games in 2024 was over 30,000)
- any concerts or other big events (for example, The Killers in 2024 and Robbie Williams in 2025 - these events often run over two nights with more than 10,000 tickets sold for each night).
