Going to see the Arsenal? Want to?

[HighlanderFil]

Hey, guys...I am from the States, going to be traveling to London with my father from the 3rd to the 9th of April. Really wanted to see Andrei Arshavin play in person (I'm Russian myself). Do I have any other recourse than buying the red membership for both myself and my father? 50 GBP on top of ticket prices seems a bit high if there are other options...

Isn't 50GBP about what Merchandising United charges for a Ronaldo shirt?

[thebigman]

well, a standard shirt is generally £39.99 from official outlets and big name sports outlets

however, sports soccer has shirts at £29.99 but the quality can vary

id imagine its about another 10 quid on top of the initial price to have that greasy slimeballs name and number on the back of the kit

so u are correct

and lol at a united fan coming to watch glorious arsenal over man yoo

Don't get me wrong - I'd hop on a train and go to Manchester to watch them play Villa, but I get a feeling tickets are going to be even harder to find. Plus, the intangible in Arshavin;).

I guess that's a drawback to being a customer of such a popular worldwide brand.....

You should give it a shot. I'm sure you'll meet lots of ManU fans on the train from London.

Was wondering how long it would take someone to say that.

Hey, I'm a Devils' fan - not an idiot;). When I went to the West Ham - Blackburn match in August, I had the presence of mind to acquire a Hammers' shirt.

All in all, no help, I guess?

There's really not much we can do for you. It's too late to get tickets from Arsenal America, so you're pretty much on your own.

I just decided to take my son to London the weekend of March 14 for his birthday. I know it is way too late to get seats for Arsenal -Blackburn through Arsenal America. If anyone knows where I can buy 2 seats for my son and I for the game I am a buyer, anywhere in the stadium.

[markd1005]

I am an Arsenal supporter traveling to london for the first time May 22nd and am trying to find a way to get tickets for the match versus Stoke on May 24th. I'm sure it is probably too late to try to obtain tickets via arsenal america so I was wondering is anyone had any suggestions regarding the best way to purchase tickets. I've been looking at ticket broker websites and Ebay and the best price I've seen is about $500 for 2 seats. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Gooner 4 life!

I will check the AFC website to see if there are any still on sale. If so, I could probably get you two.

"MarkD1005". I've just sent you a P.M. about tickets for Stoke City.

[akhardadat]

Hello! I'm an American gunner who's visiting England with a friend in May, and hoping to see the Stoke game on the last day of the season. There have been several issues with eticketing for this game following the failed sale on Monday, so I have yet to purchase the tickets. Both of us have purchased red memberships, but I am concerned that we will not be able to receive our membership cards in time (we ordered on the 24th).

Should I hold off on purchasing the tickets, and instead buy from a third party? I know that without the card, we will not be able to get in. Alternatively, I could contact Arsenal and see if I can't pick up the membership card at the stadium. Would anyone know if that would be possible?

Thanks in advance.
