Membership Guide

Simple explanation

Membership Options

A clear guide to Rookie, Social Membership, Social Membership Plus and Family Membership at Dublin Arsenal Supporters Club.

Season 2026/27 Adult membership: €25 Under 16: free in Family Membership

Quick summary

There are different membership options because not every person needs the same level of access. Some members only want to be part of the club community. Some want access to ticket ballots. Some are joining as a family.

Simple rule: DASC membership gives you access to the club community. Ticket ballot access requires a valid Arsenal FC Membership Number and approval under DASC rules.
New / Limited

Rookie

For new or limited-access members while their account and eligibility are being reviewed.

Community

Social Membership

For members who want to be part of Dublin Arsenal but do not have ballot access.

Ballot Eligible

Social Membership Plus

For members with a valid Arsenal FC Membership Number who may apply for eligible ticket ballots.

Family

Family Membership

For families. Adults and under-16 members are managed together under one family membership.

Rookie

Rookie is mainly for new members or members whose account still needs to be reviewed by the club. It helps us keep new applications organised before we assign the correct final membership type.

  • Good for people who are new to Dublin Arsenal.
  • Used while details are being checked.
  • Does not automatically mean ticket ballot access.
  • The admin team may later move the member to the correct membership type.

Social Membership

Social Membership is for supporters who want to be part of Dublin Arsenal Supporters Club, join the community and attend matchdays, but do not currently have ticket ballot access.

  • You can be part of the DASC community.
  • You can attend River Bar matchdays and club events.
  • You can use your digital membership card and QR check-in.
  • You do not have access to DASC ticket ballots unless your membership is upgraded and you meet the requirements.

Social Membership Plus

Social Membership Plus is for members who have a valid Arsenal FC Membership Number registered with us and may be eligible to apply for DASC ticket ballots.

  • You need your own valid Arsenal FC Membership Number.
  • Your details must match the information required by Arsenal and DASC.
  • You can apply for eligible ticket ballots, subject to DASC Ballot Rules.
  • Winning a ballot, non-payment, restrictions or other rules can still affect future access.

Family Membership

Family Membership is for families who want to manage adults and children together. This membership type is checked manually by the DASC admin team because we need to know how many adults and how many under-16 members are included.

  • Adult family members are counted for payment purposes.
  • Members under 16 are included free of charge as part of a Family Membership.
  • If any family member wants to apply for ticket ballots, that person must have their own valid Arsenal FC Membership Number.
  • Family Membership renewal links are generated manually after verification.

Ticket ballot access

Not every DASC membership gives automatic access to ticket ballots. Ballot access depends on your membership type, your Arsenal FC Membership Number, your status in the portal and the current DASC Ballot Rules.

Membership typeTicket ballot accessBasic explanation
RookieNo automatic accessAccount or eligibility is still being reviewed.
Social MembershipNoCommunity membership only, without ballot access.
Social Membership PlusPossibleRequires a valid Arsenal FC Membership Number and must follow Ballot Rules.
Family MembershipPossibleOnly for family members who each have their own valid Arsenal FC Membership Number.
Important: DASC membership and Arsenal FC membership are separate. To take part in ticket ballots, you must have the required Arsenal FC membership details registered with us.

Membership fee

Adult membership costs €25 per season.

Members under 16 are included free of charge as part of a Family Membership.

Payment links are generated through the DASC Portal after the correct membership type is confirmed.

Final membership type

When you apply, you do not need to choose your own membership type. The DASC admin team reviews the application and assigns the correct membership based on your details.

This avoids confusion and helps us keep the system fair, especially for ballot eligibility and Family Membership verification.
