Paying for things in England

are you a member?

i've no idea how to go about it for non-members.

i'd suggest getting one, but for a couple of considerations. first, is membership still open? at a certain point in each season, they'll close down membership application, so it may be too late (though i wouldn't think so). second, there is an away ticket application that comes with your membership, which, in all honesty, i don't know if you'd receive in time. it's a paper form, which has to be mailed in within a strict time frame (too early not accepted, too late, no tickets). so i'm reluctant to say that joining is the way to go, without reservations. memberships aren't cheap, and a few trinkets aside, won't do much for you, save the match or two that you're going to try to attend. your membership card will not assist you in picking up chicks. trust me.

what i think is your best route right now is to go to the club's website, and look quite carefully at the stipulations regarding both the membership and the away ticket process. it can make for a bit of a convoluted read, though, so another option would be to call the ticket office and inquire about away tickets. they'll be able to tell you with certainty what your options are. if you get the right rep, they can be very helpful.

another option, of course, is touts (scalpers). i know some who've used them, and had no problems, but i've also heard some horror stories that should make you well cautious. you will undoubtedly pay well over the top for them, but if you compare that to the added expense of going the membership route, or even consider it relative to the cost of your trip, it may not seem exhorbitant.

i must go to work immediately; but if i get a chance, i'll try to be of more assistance.

You're obviously hitting on Arsenal ladies then.

good luck.
