    Tickets over the holidays are always tough to get. Email tickets@arsenalamerica.com and see if they can help you. If they can't, buy a red membership and try your luck through the ticket exchange. If you only need a single you should be able to find one.

    Quick question, I just read through all 27 pages and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm more a reader than a poster on bigsoccer. There use to be a document someone posted on how he traveled to England and made the most of seeing like 3-4 games in a week. I thought it was on the Arsenal page, but I cannot find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Sorry for the double post, but it won't let me delete the other.

    Update - I found the linked document. Thanks anyways. Lets get these 3 points against Burnley!

    The Arsenal America Roadtrip is taking place right now. Sounds like they are making the most of it.

    Will any of you be over in London for the QPR match? I'll be in London sunday for the Liverpool match then off to Italy but flying back into London for Boxing day if anyone fancies getting a pint.

    Unless something goes horribly wrong, I anticipate being there. Historically, the meetup place is the Eaglet before the game and the Tavern afterwards.

    At this late date, what would be my best options on getting tickets to the Stoke game. I have a free day that Sunday while in London and was hoping to see the game but the EPL ticketing policies confuse the hell out of me.

    I know this is late, but for future reference to other people: The best way to get Arsenal tickets is almost always by not going through Arsenal. Unless you are a member, tickets are hard to get through them unless you want to pay big $$$. It's actually really annoying because a lot of seats go empty, but they never make it to general sale. It's because someone has already paid for that seat.

    Arsenal America has an allocation. There are twitter accounts too that people sell tickets for face value on. Unfortunately, the best way to get tickets is just through networking. Tickets aren't hard to get once you know people in London, outside of the big games. Arsenal really needs to do a better job of reselling tickets.

    i disagree. it may cost a little bit more to become a member, but it's worth it if you want to assure yourself a seat. really isn't hard to get home tickets via the red sale. even after, the ticket exchange isn't difficult to use or access tickets. signing up for a membership and paying for a ticket through the club is still much cheaper than the prices you see on re-sale websites.

    i've never used arsenal america, but for me i'm much more comfortable having a choice of seat, and in general, having everything in my own hands.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get a ticket for the game on Saturday? I'll sign up for a red membership if need be, but are there any other alternatives?

    Did you email Arsenal America to see if they have a spare? If they don't, a red membership and the ticket exchange is your best bet. Still much cheaper than going through a tout.

    The red membership doesn't appear to have any tickets available (or isn't working). Which touts are worth looking at?

    If you're in London, try calling the club, maybe they can issue you a replacement?

    Hi All,

    My wife and I are going to be in London during the FA Cup semi-final match and I was wondering if there is any way to get tickets since it's not a home match. My understanding is Arsenal America will only have tickets to the home matches, but wanted to get thoughts on a different way to go about getting tickets. Thanks!

    As far as i know, Arsenal America is not getting an allocation for the FA Cup semifinal, and if we do they will go to the members that had applied for the Sunderland game that was supposed to be that weekend.

    Greetings all. Anyone have a rough estimate on how long it takes to actually get on a train following a match? The wife and I are planning to attend the Swansea match on 5/11 but due to the schedule change, now have to fly back from Ireland that morning and then catch an early flight out of Heathrow the following morning. Concerned about where to stash our luggage on Monday and getting back to Heathrow in time to catch the bus to our hotel.

    Many thanks!

    There will be a line at Arsenal tube, no question. You could always leave early, but then you might miss something, so that's not really an option. I'd give it 30 minutes after kickoff to get a tube? The lines get pretty long. I always go for a few beers and then there's no line at at all.

    Looking at TFL.co.uk, the last train from Arsenal to London Heathrow Terminal 3,4,5 leaves at 12:08 a.m.

    You should be fine.

    Thank you Homeat, definitely not leaving early for our first game! Arsenal Tavern still a good spot for pre-game beers?

    The Tavern is my go to. The Eaglet has become a favorite of some people on these boards.

    I usually go to the Eaglet before the game and the Tavern after.
