I see a lot of websites that offer tickets such as ticketbroker. Are these sites considered scalpers, has anyone here ever used these sites, any recommendations?

This is a genuine question so please excuse my ignorance and try not to shout at me

Thanks

These are all scalpers/touts and if they sell any football ticket for a match in the UK they are doing so illeagally. They often have fake tickets, stolen tickets and often the purchaser will not get entry to the ground.

Links to sites not needed to ask the question. Should probably remove them....

I'm sorry but in my defense I just entered the names, I think the BB software turned them into links.

Actually thats my fault. I saw them, edited the posters links so they wouldn't work and then quoted them in my response............. Im clever like that.

Can I change my mod grade from a A to a C?

No worries mate. We get an aweful lot of people trying to advertise scalped tickets here. Some blatent. Some disguised as questions. And usually from new members.

Understanable then that we (I) am habitually suspitious.

If your enquiry was genuine then I appolagise for comming off a bit sharp.

Plus, Wooly, Wenger could actually buy a player for the same price that you might pay for those tickets.

I looked at them before finding out about Arsenal America and this board, and the prices are insane. Perhaps Chelsea has been regularly buying these tix to see classy football....

My first game ever I paid double face value and ended up behind a pole because I bought from a broker.

Don't do it.

One of the reasons we don't run ads on ArsenalAmerica.com is because all the scalpers ads would appear (thanks google).

We have a group off to London in April to see the Fulham match. I had the same question as the guy who started the thread. My wife is sending me on the trip for my birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't know about Arsenal America in time, so our only option is to try a broker. Has anyone used one of these brokers, and had success with one they could recommend? I don't look forward to getting gouged, but it could be a once in a lifetime type trip, and we're all willing to pay, just obviously worried about what we're paying for.
