[aa tickets]

Ticket requests for August and September 2008 home Premiership matches are now being taken!

The procedure for these matches only is as follows:

1. PM us (aa tickets) with your username, your real name, the match you want to attend and the number of tickets you want.

2. Transfer roughly $100 per ticket you are requesting to your PayPal account.

3. Become a fully paid up premium member of Arsenal America as soon as possible (e.g. as soon as the membership website is up and running).

We will then PM you with whether we are able to give you the tickets you have requested. If we confirm that we are able to give you the tickets you requested, please then:

1. PayPal us the money for the tickets.

2. Send us your flight and hotel info (and phone number while in London if you will have one).

3. Make sure you have joined Arsenal America.

We will share the names of those who are getting tickets through AA for each match with those who are also going through AA so that you can be in touch with each other in advance if you want. We are doing it this way (so far) this season for various reasons, one of which is that we have run into trouble in the past with public listings of all the tickets we are able to offer.

By the time we confirm to you that you have tickets to a match, we will have the final price and as we are taking requests for only August and September at the moment, we will need you to PayPal the money to us as soon as we confirm you can have the tickets. This is to ensure we have sufficent funds to actually pay Arsenal for the tickets.

As noted before, we appreciate your patience as we finalize the ticketing process for this season. While there may be some kinks to work out, the basic theory is to have this be a first come, first served system through which as many Americans get to come over to see Arsenal matches as possible.

We will post again regarding non-Premiership matches once we have more information regarding tickets for those from the club.

Let me know if anything isn't clear...

I tried sending a PM with my request, but received the following message in response:

aa tickets has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space

[aa tickets]

Sorry about that - inbox cleaned out now!

This should definitely be stickied for a bit.

Oh, and my request is in as well.

Sticky would be good, agreed. So if anyone can do that for me I'd appreciate it as I don't seem to have the ability to do that.

PM sent requesting tickets and flight to London booked!

Looking forward to hearing back from aa!

I have been following the thread for some time and understand that requests are only being taken for the August and September matches at this time. My wife and I will be making our first trip/pilgramage to London over the Christmas holiday and would like to attend the home game against Portsmouth on Dec. 28. Is there a timeline on when tickets for the matches after September will be availible for request? I'm new at this an am anxious to get the biggest and most important detail of the trip taken care of as soon as possible. Thanks.

TIMING UPDATE:

WBA: We are not taking any further requests as we have passed the date for ordering tickets from the Club.

Newcastle: In order to be considered, all requests must be PM'd to us at "aa tickets" by midnight (EST) on 29 July.

Hull City: In order to be considered, all requests must be PM'd to us at "aa tickets" by midnight (EST) on 31 July.

Champions League: The draw is on 1 August. To be considered, all requests must be PM'd to us at "aa tickets" by midnight (EST) on 3 August.

MONEY UPDATE:

We are still working on calculating the costs of the tickets for the upcoming matches but we can't finalize calculations until we have heard back from the Club on tickets for each match. We hope ot hear early this coming week about WBA tickets and will then let everyone know whether they have tickets and, if so, how much they are. We do think roughly $100 per ticket is about right so if you need to transfer money to your PayPal account to cover your requests, please ensure you've done so already.

We will be asking you to transfer money to us in Great British Pounds (GBP) as we understand PayPal now offers the ability to choose a currency when you send the money. This will hopefully take the currency fluctuations out of the mix and should provide greater certainty/consistency for all of us.

Without going overboard (like some people here ) I would say that you should wait for the December/January thread for tickets. Since the ticketing process is in transition this year, it seems like ArsenalAmerica is taking orders for tickets when they are ready. If it hasn't been announced yet, then they're not ready.

However, do keep in mind the rules that you see in the first post. That should be standard for all months. Break those rules and you're left to the wolves.

Good luck.
