Arsenal Tix '08/'09

[aa tickets]

As the (preliminary) fixture list came out this morning, we thought we'd let you know that we're still working on fixing a few things with the ticketing system so we won't be processing any ticket requests for the time being. We will post again when everything's sorted and the floodgates are opened...

And for those of you who know Rick, he has indeed left beautiful London for Zimbabwe - for good, or so he says. Simon and I have taken over from him and will do our best to prevent any hiccups but you'll have to bear with us as we try to fill Rick's shoes (no size jokes, please).

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Emirates this season!

Thanks to you & Simon for taking on what can only be described as a HUGE undertaking.

Werd...I'll stand by. I can only make one game while I'm there, so hopefully things will work out. :)

[Cesc Flabbergast]

thanks for the update!

[Martin Daoust]

Thanks for taking over and helping us. Hope to see you both sometime this season...

[G8TR_Gooner]

Many thanks for the update, Meredith.

Met you and Simon at the 'Boro match this season and have no doubt you and Simon will do a smashing job!

i think this might have been mentioned in a different thread but, if I need tickets to the first two games of the season, then does 10 week rule doesn't apply, right?

Would be pretty hard since August 16th is less than 10 weeks away and tickets won't even go on sale until the fixture list is amended in early July :p.

Hi, I'm new here. Can I get tickets to the London Darrrby game? Oh and even if I get them, I can't promise showing up nor paying for them.

Thanks soooooo much!!

For those who are wondering, basically we have a set up something like this:

* about a half-dozen season tickets owned / controlled by ArsenalAmerica members

* about a half-dozen Silver memberships owned / controlled by ArsenalAmerica members

* occasional spares (< 3) sent our way by Arsenal or other supporter's groups when they have a few available.

* whatever we can get through the 'connections' of our ticket folks in London.

As you know, our previous ticket master was basically a master at the connections game. He knew everyone and everyone knew and trusted him as a good guy to offload spare tickets to as he would ensure they went to true fans and not to touts. This year Meredith and Simon are going to take up the reins, but we won't really know how many of these 'connection-type' tickets we can get until we go through a few games and get a general 'feel' for how things are this year. Did so and so renew, or did they come back from living abroad and need them, or is there kid old enough to use them himself this year, or is the kid off to college and they have an extra. We don't know until we meet up with some of these folks and get things going again.

It's going to require patience and honestly, some folks may not get to see their first choice match this year.

On our end, we're trying to work out a better membership system where id cards will be produced 'when purchased' and delivered electronically We're also hoping to have a system which will make things easier on those handling tickets so there is always enough credit on the card we use to buy tickets.

Hi - I would like to go out on that proverbial limb and request one for Chelsea at home Sat 9 May (I am aware it likely will be moved) or United away Sat May 16(again I am aware this likely to be moved, and if the Liverpool away match is moved to either the week of the Chelsea or United match above I would like one for that too. I've croossed my fingers and toes , and thanks for your help in advance everyone!
