Arsenal supporters hoping to witness what could be a historic title-winning evening at the Emirates Stadium on Monday are facing extraordinary costs, with standard tickets completely unavailable.
Mikel Arteta’s side currently holds a five-point advantage over Manchester City, although the defending champions have played one fewer match.
With no normal seating available, fans still wishing to attend in person can only purchase a corporate hospitality box priced at more than £130,000 for 15 guests.
The Executive Box N7, positioned on the highest tier along the halfway line, carries a starting price of £100,000, according to The Times.
Those purchasing the premium package receive a replica home shirt, a customised match-day programme, and the chance to meet a club legend.
Trying to win Gunners fans over, the advertisement reads: “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.
“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.”
Burnley handed back 1,300 tickets for the match, which Arsenal subsequently offered to their own fans at standard rates, starting at £44.80.

The potential title decider hinges on results elsewhere, with Arsenal requiring Manchester City to drop points against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening before the Gunners face Burnley.
Should those conditions be met, Monday’s encounter could see Arsenal crowned Premier League champions at their home ground.
City boss Pep Guardiola will be looking to upset the Arsenal party, saying that his players “are still fighting”.
Speaking ahead of the game against Palace, the Spaniard said: “It’s the same one as one day, two day, one week ago, two weeks ago, same one.”

Asked about his reaction to Arsenal’s win, Guardiola insisted on looking at the fixture this evening saying: “Crystal Palace and thinking what we have to do.
“As I always learned from my career as a manager what you can’t control, forget about it.
“(Focus) and do better what we have not done better this season to fight for the Premier League. We are still fighting and (next it’s) Crystal Palace.”

The serial winner noted the difficulty of facing the Eagles, saying: “Always it’s been a tough game, since Roy Hodgson especially and now Oliver.
“They have reached a final, a European final.
“Maybe they struggled a little bit in the Premier League with a lot of changes.
“The manager is leaving, they announced it a long time ago. Maybe they are not consistent, but the quality is there. The patterns are there.”
