Spare Tickets

Cheers guys!

Think I have asked before but gonna try my luck again, does anybody knows what's the best way to get tickets for West Ham away and Liverpool away?

I could get the home tickets but don't want to restrict myself not celebrating our wins...

James

Think you’ll really struggle to be honest without knowing someone who has the away credits. Maybe look into local supporters clubs, who will get an allocation of tickets.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Getting away tickets has been a nightmare. Whatever you do just beware of random touts or sellers on twitter. Plenty of scammers going around.

For the London mandem - I'll be in town in February and of course with my luck there won't be any Arsenal matches in London during my stay there. Since I'll have some spare time I thought of going to Spurs - West Ham instead, any ideas whether it's even worth trying to get a ticket at the gate on match day?

You'd probably be better served trying to go to a Fulham game if you want to watch non-Arsenal PL football. Used to be pretty easy to get tickets although I'm led to believe it's harder now for neutrals to get a ticket.

James

I would say your chances are nil. Always seen plenty of touts around there, but of course you’d be paying over the odds to see those lot. You’d have to pay me to do that.

jones

Don Pacifico Fulham plays Wolves on the day, might be a game where tickets are actually available but probably for good reason lol

goon only WHU game I could go is the one at Spurs

James that's actually a great idea, Leyton specifically not so much as it's like an hour away but I didn't think of going to a lower league game. Leyton's not playing at home when I'm there but will check availability for other London clubs - I'm assuming Championship and below getting a ticket at the gate should be a more realistic option than PL teams?

goon

West Ham is also quite easy apparently - but then you might need to purchase a membership.

James

Treat yourself to table topping Leyton Orient at home to Rochdale imo.

James

jones 'm assuming Championship and below getting a ticket at the gate should be a more realistic option than PL teams?

I should think you'd be able to buy at the ticket office on the day at any Championship side or lower. Exception might be Millwall depending on who they're playing (safety more than attendance), and possibly QPR.

Big Willie

James plus you wouldn't want to be going to a Millwall game anyways if you have any sort of tan.

RocktheCasbah

James QPR would also be a lot of fun, the atmosphere's usually banging there, whoever they're playing..

Don Pacifico

Also, there's a fairly vibrant non-league scene depending on how far down the pyramid you want to go - Dulwich Hamlet's FC are pretty well regarded for some of their social/community initiatives and have quite an active fanbase.

jones

Don Pacifico that's going too far down the pyramid lol, there are plenty of non-league clubs/clubs with <5k capacity grounds around my ends as well anyway.

We're arriving and leaving on a Saturday so most matches in London are ruled out, but the Fulham game could still be an option (only other one was Hampton & Richmond Borough which I'm not that interested in lol). Thanks all for the suggestions anyway

FEBravo

Hey guys,

I'll be in London the weekend of the Bournemouth match. I tried to get some red tickets this morning, but despite queuing online for an hour, my slot was at 10.14 and the tickets were sold out by 10.09. My 7 yo daughter is dying to see a live match are there any other option to have ideally 3 tickets but would settle for 2.
Thanks in advance

James

Sorry to hear that - the process of buying tickets has been extremely difficult this season (currently waiting to get City FA Cup tickets myself).

Best bet is to keep an eye on the ticket exchange I would say, although getting two together will be a struggle. If you are constantly checking though, your luck may be in. I saw tickets available for City home yesterday for example.

FEBravo

James Cheers James will do

goon

James how frequently do you have to check (even for a single ticket)? Like are we talking about refreshing once every other hour or every 30 seconds?

My phone crashed this morning and was stuck on the apple logo until 10:30 - so when the reminder popped up it was a little too late. My nephew also forgot. So frustrating.

FEBravo

goon I was refreshing pretty much every minute or so from 9 am onwards, on two browsers, and so was my wife (thankfully slow morning at work!), and the best we could do was 10.14 to enter the queue. Otherwise was 10.44 and 10.47. At 10.09 there was an update that they were sold out.

James

They get snapped up in minutes. AST were looking into it along with the club to see whether bots were picking them up for touting etc.
