Yes and No unless you buy direct from a shareholder. They trade at about £4,500 at the moment per share which is $9,000

Does it trade on the LSE and if so, does anyone know the ticker?

No, it trades on OFEX in basically an OTC manner. You have to be offered stock to buy it.

IOW, no, you aren't buying Arsenal stock. Give up.

Royal families at odds over Arsenal share sale (http://football.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,2027444,00.html)

Arsenal's board could be heading for some difficult political explanations with the club's title sponsors, Emirates, if talks between ITV plc and the Qatar royal family come to fruition this week.

It is understood the broadcaster, long known to be looking for a buyer for its 9.9% stake in the club, is in talks with three suitors. The sticking point for two of the purchasers is ITV's desire to achieve about £8,000 a share - or £50m - for the equity.
.

Given that Sir Chips Keswick, a non-executive director at Arsenal, paid £5,300 for each of the 20 shares he bought last week that price would seem aspirational.

But the Qatari royals believe at £50m the deal is good value. They are not interested in taking over the club but consider the market capitalisation of £326.65m to be massively undercooked. It is felt that, with the Highbury Square redevelopment expected to produce £100m in profit, Arsenal's attractiveness will soar.

But the presence of Qatar's royal family, even as sleeping investors, is unlikely to make Emirates feel comfortable. The airline, which is owned by Dubai's ruling Al-Maktoum family, will spend more than £100m over 16 years in sponsoring a club that would be part owned by a regional rival.

Qatar has set itself up as a competitor destination to Dubai for tourism and high finance, meaning there could soon be some interesting exchanges around the Emirates Stadium's executive boxes.
