    Panda Loads of tickets available on the exchange for the Zagreb match if anyone is interested.

    Nice. Unfortunately I get back into town on Sunday. Why on earth are there always so few home games during the period I get back. Pretty much on City and West Ham games at home during my 4 weeks. Not expecting to get a City ticket but planning to get one for West Ham

    Panda are these matches part of the season ticket? Seems to be a lot of people selling their tickets to the last couple of CL games. I applied for tickets to both and didn't get them so I'm wondering who's getting rid of them, is it mostly ST holders or people who applied via red and silver?

    I did see AST asking the club to sell a second cheaper form of ST next season that doesn't have any cup games. I think thats a great idea as these tickets would go to the market earlier and we'd be more likely not to have empty seats at CL games as a result. Plus it'd make it easier for red members who are struggling to get tickets all season.

      Qwiss it's absurd to expect people in this economy to spring for an additional ticket. football has lost its fucking mind.

        Claudius its lazy from the club when the demand is there from other fans who actually want these tickets.

        Qwiss Yeah they are part of the season ticket. I assume it is mostly season ticket holders selling them but could also be red/silver through the ballot as they have the option to sell too.

        Did you manage to nab 1?

          Yeah as you say it's in the season ticket inclusion but it's a midweek game where people proudlye expecting us to qualify and so it's a bit less interesting for some and one you might want to sit out and get some money back.

            awooga83 i just think it's one of those instances where we didn't need that stadium to be in use. people can be home, holding onto their hard-earned money. and the players can be resting. but uefa decided they wanted more money and to appease the italian/spanish clubs that want to form a super league

            Panda nope. I haven't nabbed a ticket all season despite entering almost every draw.

              Qwiss Ohh will you go to Zagreb? Harder to buy off exchange if looking for 2 together 😔

                Panda I'm in Ireland. I need to organise hotels and flights for a game so last minutes not an option for tomorrow. Currently talking about booking for April ticket or not and trying to get one on the exchange if I can't get one through the ballot.

                  Qwiss Ahh ok got ya! That's annoying 😔

                  Arsenal v Real Madrid, biggest game at the Emirates in terms of glamour/prestige?

                  Think there will be tickets available for £750-1000 on these ticket sites. Tempted but seems a bit OTT. If the second leg was at Emirates and we were still in the tie I would seriously consider it.

                  It’s once in a life time game.

                  Mpbappe v Saliba is worth half the ticket price itself!

                    Qwiss figure of speech but games like these don’t come about that often.
                    This is why we moved to the Emirates in the first place. Some of our more younger fans (Quincy) would haven’t even seen/remembered 2006 game.

                      RocktheCasbah surely the maddest 0-0 in the history of Highbury, if not the whole of football.

                      It's weird but I can't remember much about that game. I remember many of our games in the CL from 01/02/03 and 04 but that 05/06 season seems to be buried out of my memory apart from certain moments, like Fabregas vs Vieira, Henry at the Bernabeu, Lehmann vs Riquelme, and bits from the final having not watched it again since.

                        Big Willie I'd be hard pressed to tell you about specific incidents, other than Lehmann pulling off (hehe) an amazing save from Raul (I think), they also hit the post whilst we missed (in particular) a couple of excellent chances. But I remember a breathless, exhilarating game that felt exhausting to watch so I could only imagine what it was like to play in. And all in front of a raucous Highbury crowd.

                          RocktheCasbah may have to try to watch some old games again actually instead of wasting time watching tv shows. Found this great website a few years ago that has an archive of many of our old games I had been planning to rewatch but not sure it still works.

                          RocktheCasbah didn't we have that chance on the break when their keeper had come up for a corner, Pires tried to pass the ball in from the halfway line only for Roberto Carlos to get back in time to block.

                          I remember I missed the game, was gutted, but watched the whole game without knowing the score and it was intense.

                            Yes! Had completely forgotten that, but how you've said it...

                            RocktheCasbah yes, the Raul bar hit and subsequent shank. I believe Arseblog posted a video of the highlights of this game recently. I will go check for it.

                            IBL ive never tried to will a ball over the line so hard. That scampering pint sized thing just went .... Ziiiip. Never had a chance.
