Spare Tickets

James

Price per match has gone up, rather than season ticket prices themselves, which should come down with the reduction of cup credits.

In general it seems pretty well received.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

goon I'm in the mid 30Ks, but looking at the demand I don't think I'm getting anything for the next 10 years.

Big Willie

I am Arsenal Till I Die you never know. I bought a couple season ticket waiting list spots back in 2003 not expecting to get anything for at least 10-15 years as I was at 32k at the time. Was offered both at the end of the 2009/2010 season but had to decline cuz I was still a student and could t afford them. I reckon you'll get them before 2030.

goon

@Big Willie Yeah I turned mine down for similar seasons. Though from what I remember it was after a particularly depressing season too which didn't help. I think I stupidly gave up my red membership in a rage too meaning I missed out on the chance of potentially being a silver member by now 😢

@I am Arsenal Till I Die I think I moved up from over 100k to 70k last year so it can shift quite significantly, though apparently that had something to do with a lot of people giving/passing it up after COVID. My nephew is 30k too and apparently they can bump up close relatives if they're also nearby on the list...

Being a silver isn’t much of an advantage these days. Get less tickets than reds.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

So looks like the club thinks I'm a bot and I've been restricted from viewing the ticketing page completely.

Has anyone else faced this problem? I'm gutted as I missed out on Palace tickets yesterday and the Leeds tickets go on sale today to Reds. The club as usual are unresponsive.

I am Arsenal Till I Die If it's IP based maybe try going via a VPN, or a different device and network. If it's account based, I'd make a support query while you're logged in to that account—if possible—or open a new account.

RocktheCasbah

Have you tried emailing mate?
membership@arsenal.co.uk

I doubt you're likely to get any practical help via socials.

James

Contrary to what @Burnwinter has suggested, i've read some say that using a VPN is the issue, and turning it off has allowed them to pass the initial CAPTCHA.

Unfortunately it seems many haven't received responses from the club yet when querying why they've been blocked. Sucks if that's the case, and seems many innocent people have been effected.

James i've read some say that using a VPN is the issue

This may be the case if it's a VPN with known IP ranges, or access is IP geoblocked, or the site otherwise hyperactively classifies accesses as malicious.

However, if you're already blocked, I'd say give a VPN a go, as it's unlikely to make things worse.

I intermittently get the 'unable to load map error'. I don't think it's anything on my end though and just down to the terrible system they use.

Trying to buy tickets is getting worse. Earlier on in the season logging in a 9am was generally enough to give you a fighting chance. Trying to buy for Palace and Leeds has been a frustrating and soul draining experience.

I had that for Leeds purchase, thankfully mobile worked ok for me.

Yep, gone are the days where you were almost guaranteed a ticket just being a silver member. You could pick where you wanted to sit etc. now it's just a mad rush to get what you can. I've been pretty fortunate so far this season, but it's mainly just luck and a little bit of judgment as to when you open the ticketing site to be placed in the queue.

goon

What time do you log in? I went on too early yesterday and thought I'd beaten the system but they kicked me out at 9:20 and as a result I ended up some way down the queue. My nephew signed in shortly after 9am and still didn't get in until they were sold out.

Think I'll have to settle for Europa games.

James

Usually around 9:10/9:15. You don't want to be beating the system and going straight into the ticketing portal, otherwise it will kick you out to the back of the queue (it's usually too late by that point). If that happens, find deleting cache etc. the best thing to do and then trying again until you enter the queue. Otherwise, it'll stick you in the queue at a time that's too late.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

I have written to the club already. Hopefully they resolve the issue.

I don't think I've ever tried to buy tickets from my work computer so having used a VPN can't have been the problem. (Although I may have generally logged into the website to read a news article etc.)

Evebtually, I logged in today using my mobile network and managed to get 3 tickets together. Might have been the first to get in tbh - 10 seconds past 10 a.m. I've been pretty lucky overall with tickets. Apart from Spurs I've managed to bag tickets to all the games I've wanted to. Have the next four after City done as well. Hope I'm able to get the tickets for the last four home games too. Afterall, I don't want to miss us lifting the trophy in May 😉

Big Willie

Just got back into London, will be here for a month visiting the family. Need to try to get to as many games as possible, as some of you may well know, I have yet to see us drop points at home in the 40 odd games I've been to stretching back to Highbury days.

QuincyAbeyie

Fuck off, I've been to a single home game during our best ever point haul and didn't get three points 😂

Big Willie

😂😂😂 Unlucky mate. Not a good feeling to lose/draw a game you attended. Well from what I hear.

But yeah that game was annoying as fuck for me, for more than one reason. Was the day I was flying back. Landed at 3pm but avoided the result so I could watch it as live. Get home and the first thing my brother says to me was "Arsenal are so annoying". Then and there I knew we dropped points. Ended up just looking at the result and calling it a day. Still haven't seen the highlights apart from the offside goal they scored.

goon

And it was a game that lacked any sort of real atmosphere too. I guess now we know what the problem was.

RocktheCasbah

Your brother did you a favour, it wasn't a fun game to watch.

Big Willie

RocktheCasbah annoyed the shit out of me at the time though. Was looking forward to it during the whole flight.
