Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by joglu on Jun 18, 2014 16:42:02 GMT 1, hi, a friend of mine asked me if i could help her find tickets for a top match with FC Arsenal in the new season. its meant to be a gift for her dad. i don't know how it works to buy tickets for games in the UK, but i heard its not easy. as there are many londoners on here, maybe one of you can help me. i am not looking to get in contact with ticket brokers/dealers and pay astronomic prices. we are not from the UK so i'd need the tickets to be sent to us, i am looking for at least 2 tickets. the fixtures of the new season came out today and here are the games that she's interested in (we only want tickets for 1 of these games):
Saturday 13 September 2014
15:00 Arsenal v Man City Emirates Stadium
Saturday 4 October 2014
15:00 Chelsea v Arsenal Stamford Bridge
Saturday 22 November 2014
15:00 Arsenal v Man Utd Emirates Stadium

15:00 Arsenal v Liverpool Emirates Stadium
Saturday 25 April 2015
15:00 Arsenal v Chelsea Emirates Stadium
Saturday 16 May 2015

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by .dappy on Jun 18, 2014 19:00:19 GMT 1, Hi mr j ... having a quick look through your list, these are all cat A games and will be sold out to season ticket holders, silver and red members and will not go on general sale. Arsenal issue a 'credit card' that is individual to each member that is scanned when you go through the turnstile, and do not issue tickets. Unless you can find two people who are willing to meet with you in London and pass their card to you then you will not have a chance.
The other non tout way is to go onto Thomas Cook website ( arsenals official travel company) and book a visit and 'ticket' through them. not overly expensive if you want to guarantee a seat and they normally have a choice of hotels.
There are touts who have a number of 'credit cards' meet you outside the stadium and then meet with you once through the turnstile to take them back off you - so to spk.
Actual tickets are only issued to away supporters, but as the Arse limit away fans to c3,000 tickets the away 'travelling supp club' members will snap them all up. The same applys for the Arse going to Chelsea away.
Not trying to put you off - just telling you as it is. Have you thought about a mid week game, especially Champions League in the early stages. They do go to General Sale on occasion and I love the evening atmosphere - but I suppose it depends on you being able to drop everything and book flights in little time.

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by deedubs on Jun 19, 2014 11:08:38 GMT 1, Most the stadium is now paperless Ticket-wise as the tickets are put onto members cards which they swipe to gain access - so you may struggle to get some sent out to you.
Few other options,
follow this guy:
twitter.com/arsenal_tickets
he re-tweets anyone that has spare tickets for games and they are always sold at face value, problem is it will be very last minute, and as you are after cat A games probably v hard to score a couple together, if at all.
You could also become a red member yourself and trying buying tickets, problem will be the tickets go on sale to silver members 2 months before date of game and 1 month before the remaining tickets go on sale to red members - drawback being very few Cat A games ever get to reds as they sell out long before
Other option is be-friend someone with gold or silvers tickets who isn't planning on going, the tickets will have to be purchased and put on their cards so you will need to trust each other for this.
Lastly, have you looked into what you can do with www.arsenalamerica.com/tickets-faq/
hope some of this helps, shout me if you got any more Qs

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by deedubs on Jun 19, 2014 11:13:13 GMT 1, Oh and definitely don't go down tout route, I've see and heard of a few people being carted off to a cell for a few hours for doing this, they are pretty hot on it. If you are buying off someone (assuming it is card borrow access) give them the money once you are inside the stadium if you are meeting them there.

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by JAlternatión on Jun 19, 2014 11:35:18 GMT 1, I believe that they make a certain number of seats available for red members at every game now... started last season IIRC.... 3000 rings a bell. You will struggle to get tickets for a Cat A game without paying through the roof though. I think it's about £85 a ticket for one now, and then you'd be looking at some markup from any companies reselling

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by JAlternatión on Jun 19, 2014 13:49:42 GMT 1, I wish they'd let me downgrade from Gold to Silver. Can't afford my Gold membership for last couple of seasons so have to rent it out every year, but otherwise it's to the back of the queue.

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by kel on Jun 19, 2014 13:59:40 GMT 1, Was chatting to some Arsenal fans last year when I went for our away fixture (Manchester City) didn't realise how much they charge for Season Tickets and matches. I understand that you get early rounds of cup and European games in the price which I suppose is a bonus.
Anyway moving on to Joglu enquiry. As Dappy said these are all Cat A games at any club in the league so are always expensive. I am not sure how it works at Arsenal but usually at City the only way to get in on these fixtures is to buy a corporate package and have a meal as well. If that is to their liking get your name down early.

Help needed: FC Arsenal tickets, by deedubs on Jun 20, 2014 11:16:36 GMT 1, Let me know how you get on, I may be able to help you out, if I can renew my silvers.
I missed the renewal deadline, but when i get 10 mins i am going to see if it is really too late next week, if I can get them renewed then you could try buy the ti on my cards and borrow them for the game(s).
