08/09 Arsenal Schedule

[mrnelson]

One week until the fixtures are released. Any word on how ticket requests for next season are going to work?

Yeah, I have the same question... I'm studying in Oxford this summer and already have tickets to the Emirates Cup v. Real Madrid, but if the 1st real game is in London or anywhere close, I want to try and go to the opener... does the 10 week rule still apply/ are tickets tougher to get for the 1st game (assuming its not against Chelsea, ManU, Pool or Spurs)?

Excellent point. Time to start planning!!!

Thunder Dome. 2 men enter. One leaves with a ticket.

Not entirely offbase... :-)

Planning is underway and has been for awhile. With Rick's departure and the disconnect from some of his excellent 'connections' I think some people should mentally prepare themselves for a bit of a 'dip' in the number of overall tickets available this year. It's going to be a bit rougher getting tickets than it has been in the past.

Those who travel frequently or who are in the UK and looking to attend 'as many games as possible' should really consider a Red membership from the club and attempting to buy tickets through the Arsenal ticket exchange, rather than come to us and our limited number of spares. Some of our tickets are made available on the express condition that they go to people 'flying over for a game' and we like to get as many people in as possible during the course of the year.

More to follow soon.

All good news. I hope to be able to get in my request on Monday.

I was planning to request the 5 Category A PL home matches through AA as well as ~8 PL away matches and get any other home matches through my Red. Is that going to be too many?
Also, will AA still be able to get European away tickets?

Have you considered just renting a season ticket? There are a number going around....

I think that one is spoken for last I heard.

That makes sense, was surprised that no one had responded to it.

Yeah, I enquired about Jeff's spare season ticket last month but his son sold it to his friend.
Thanks for the link, I'll look into it.

HighburyGoon would know better than most of us, but from what I understand it will not be as it has been. But again, I don't have it 100% down.

Anyone know what time the EPL fixtures are due to be released on Monday? :confused:

[Jeff L]

Official notice from the Club is that no games went to general sale last season.

"NFO"? FFS, WTF does that mean ? :confused: :D

It should be noted that the 'first' schedule will be released on Monday, but there will be a 'second' updated schedule released in a few weeks to take into consideration 'Sky' TV games. Several more 'interesting' matches may be moved to Sundays or mid-weeks depending on other fixtures and the like. There is also the Champions League list that comes out in August or so, which also causes havoc on the schedule.

So basically my point is don't go out and buy an airline ticket Monday.
