Tickets for the Centrepoint Charity Ball go on sale.

Arsenal Football Club has announced the launch of ticket sales for its Annual Ball on Thursday 19 May 2011 at Emirates Stadium in aid of its Charity of the Season, Centrepoint - the national charity dedicated to giving homeless young people a future - and the Arsenal Charitable Trust.

The Annual Arsenal Ball will be hosted by popular comedian and Arsenal fan Dara O’Briain and attended by the Arsenal manager, first team squad and Arsenal legends. It promises to be a spectacular evening which includes live music from Eliza Doolittle and a menu of fine food and wines.

The evening will see a host of celebrities supporting this event in innovative ways to keep guests entertained and amused throughout the night.  Sky Sport’s Geoff Shreeves will host the auction and the night will be rounded off with an after-show party in the Club’s exclusive WM Club.

Arsenal’s Manager, Arsène Wenger said: “The annual ball is the culmination of a wonderful partnership with our Charity of the Season which the players and myself look forward to.  It’s a befitting way to bid farewell to Centrepoint and to raise a large amount of money in order to reach - and perhaps even surpass - our season’s target of £500,000 for this wonderful charity.”       

A limited number of Player Packages which include a champagne reception with Arsène Wenger and his team, a sumptuous three course dinner and two first team players at your table for dessert are priced at £10,000.  Legends Packages are priced at £8,000 and include a VIP reception in the Club’s WM Club in the company of Arsenal Legends followed by dinner in the Club’s newly-refurbished Woolwich Suite.

Over the course of the season, through the ‘Be A Gooner. Be A Giver.’ campaign, the Gunners aim to raise £500,000 for Centrepoint. Funds raised from the partnership will enable the charity to create a state-of-the-art facility where homeless young people can develop essential skills to get back on their feet and stay off the streets permanently.
