Ticket requests for November 2008 home Premiership and Champions League matches are now being taken.
Please remember that these tickets are for Americans who are travelling to London to see Arsenal play.
Also, please ensure you request tickets at least 10 weeks in advance of the date of the match you want to attend as that is when we have to order tickets from the Club. Champions League matches are a bit different as they obviously are only determined a few weeks in advance. For those, please keep an eye on the Club website for details of when CL fixtures are announced and PM us immediately for any home matches you want to attend as we are given only a very short window in which to order these.
The procedure for home Premiership and CL 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.
Please also put the name of the match and number of tickets you are requesting in the subject line of the PM. At this point we have one Club Level ticket per match (when the season ticket holder isn't using it) and this is 100GBP for most matches. If you want that ticket please note this in your PM and also indicate if you want a regular ticket if the Club Level one is not available.
2. Transfer roughly $100 per ticket that you are requesting to your PayPal account for B games. For A games (L'Pool, ManU, Chelsea, WH and Scum) it will be more like $140 per ticket. Please keep in mind that these are estimates to give you an idea of how much it will be but we will confirm the price exactly once tickets have been allocated.
3. Become a fully paid up premium member of Arsenal America and ensure that anyone for whom you are requesting a ticket is also a premium member of Arsenal America.
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 (send it to
treasurer@arsenalamerica.com).
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.
Please PayPal the money to us as soon as we tell you how much the tickets are going to be. We have to pay for the tickets as soon as the Club tells us we have them so there is always a delay between when we pay and when you pay and with multiple games being ordered at once, we have to make sure we don't get too low on funds on our account so that we can continue to buy tickets.
We are generally not able to offer away tickets this year. We will post again regarding FA Cup and Carling Cup tickets as more information becomes available.
