Segway I did it with Perry Groves the day after Gabriel Paulista got Costaed by Diego (remember that?!) and it was loads of fun.

    Segway Did it with Charlie George. Hefty price but worth it IMO. you can really get everything you want to know from him

    Absolutely down to earth and go the extra mile for your tour.

      Also did it with Charlie George. Long time ago though (2009). Fully worth it. Might not get back to that side of the world ever again so figured I'd go for the full experience.

      Only did the normal tour but bumped into Charlie George. Well, a guy walked past me in the corridor leading to the media centre as I was talking to my wife and I only caught a glimpse of him. Suddenly struck me he looked familiar and then I realised. Cue me chasing after him shouting “Charlie, Charlie!” He had turned the corner down the corridor to the lift near the entrance and as I caught up the lift door closed. Thought my chance had gone and turned back. A few seconds later the lift door opened and he came out to say hello. He hasn’t heard me and only just saw me as it closed and came back out to get a photo. I was too surprised and awestruck to have a conversation and he seemed to be in on his way somewhere, so it was just a quick photo and hello and he was gone. Barely even remember what we said. Such a simple thing coming back out the lift to say hello but it’ll always stick with me.

      Cheers guys for sharing your experiences with the Legends Tour 🙏

      I'm now leaning quite heavily on shelling out for it.

        Segway One more thing to note, if this is your first time going on the Emirates and you are banking on taking a ton of pictures and taking your absolute own sweet time at every section, then you might either not want to do legends tour or book an early in the day legends tour. Normally you have to follow the legend at his pace and only after the tour end, you could go back and take pictures at the places you want, but if you book a late tour then the stadium closes and you don't have that opportunity.

          It's often the case with mid-week games, still surprising though.

          There's not really loads, pretty much only club level though the odd normal ticket has popped up with when you refresh.

          RocktheCasbah Heard that earlier, fucking shocking for Chelsea at home with 5 games left and the title still possible.

          That's mental. Pisses me off that this wasn't the case last season when I was around for a good month and a half. That time I just about barely got a ticket to the Bournemouth game.

            Bought tickets (hospitality package) for the wolves game. Haven't been in London since covid.

            Got tickets in the ballot, which was an unexpected surprise. Taking my cousin Josh, it seems that things may have opened up a bit for Silver members this season. 🤞🤞

            Segway Not sure if too late, but my son and I did the Legends Tour with Perry Groves. He was fantastic - highly recommend. He turns up and says "Hi folks, thanks for coming, some of you may recognise me - I'm Dennis Bergkamp". Top man.

                Just had a "congratulations" email from Arsenal re the Brighton ballot. I have already got as many tickets through the ballot this season than I did the whole of last season, so something's clearly changed!

                  Nice. I only tried once as a red but failed.

                  Not so keen on the new system which means if I can’t get tickets in the family enclosure with the kids it seems like I’ll automatically be allocated the expensive tickets for them… unless I just won’t get any if I apply for them. Bit unclear.
