So you want to visit Highbury
I am not going to labour this point for too long, as have touched upon it at times in other threads, and for particular games, (such as the Charity Shield), and Rick is well aware of my help and offers to other ArsenalAmerica members, but as we are now on the thresh hold of a new season, I will mention this directly for the last time.
If any of you are coming "across the pond" and want to go to matches, if you give me enough notice, particularly as tickets go on sale 2 months in advance for TRS members, I can regularly get tickets for you. Even if you come on short notice I can probably still help you out. Every game I have about 5 or 6 tickets, and use maybe 2 or 3, so I always have spare. (They never go unused!). However if I know that fellow "ArsenalAmerica" members are coming over I can make you a priority for them. For those that have already made the trip, no one has been let down yet, so long may that continue. Get in touch if you wish to. Hear's to another good and successful season.

Thanks Jeff, you've been a great resource in the past and I know that myself and all the ArseAm members are grateful for your generosity.

Many thanks, Jeff. I hope to be over sometime in the Spring (Can't go this fall as I'll be tied up in court with my divorce)
BTW, when I do come, I'll be bringing my son with me. he turns 4 in March and always watches Arsenal matches with me at home. Would it not be a good idea to bring him to a game? I know he would love it, just not sure how it is at Highbury for a wee one.

Wow. Jeff this sounds fantastic. I just booked a trip to Holland next week, and want to attend the Arsenal-Chelsea game on the 1st of September. I know it is very very late for tickets, but just some general advise on what section the traveling supporters are in, transportation, dining, etc. would be a phenomenal help. I'm coming from Amsterdam the day of the match, and need to be back in Amersterdam to catch a 9:00am flight back on the 2nd.
Much thanks in advance,
Paul

Unfortunately Paul this fixture is NOT at Highbury but at Chelsea's ground, Stamford Bridge. I am not sure whether or not I will be able to get tickets for you for this game, and Chelsea are generally the highest priced in the Premiership.
Also what makes it worse is that I am travelling to Belgium on the 28th August to 2nd September from the F.1 Belgian Grand Prix, so it seems that we will cross each other!
I'll see what I can do. Let me know for sure that you still want to go, and if I can get tickets, I will make arrangements for you to collect them from somewhere/someone should I get some. Please re-confirm A.S.A.P.

"COACH". I used to take my boys when they were that age, and joined them up as "Junior Gunners", A>S>A>P..
It's good to "blood them young". It helps keep them interested and it's a day they always remember.
"My first visit to Highbury". He may not take much in as far as the game goes, but I still remember my first visit!

I will definately be there. Anything you could do is greatly appreciated. The Chelsea website still has tickets available, but I want to sit with the Arsenal supporters and don't know where they will be. If worse comes to worse, I'll just buy one at the stadium or from a scalper.

Jeff, unless you post otherwise, I'll just buy a ticket from the box office. I'd really like to sit with the Arsenal supporters, but it looks like the match will sell out.
