    I have pre match access

    the prices were absurd for me. A roundtrip flight would cost that much.

    Not lining up a player who is top 5 in goals scored in a top 5 league at age 21 and where England's primary striker is three months short of 30 seems rather shortsighted.

    That's insane. I just looked thru my Gmail archives. In 2014, Tix to see Arsenal play the NY Red Bulls were $46.

    Pretty sure I had to buy an Arsenal America membership to buy Tix at that price, so that was another $25.

    I can't find what I paid in Charlotte in 2019, but I can see where the Queen City Gooners secured tickets in the fan block, lower level, midfield first 20 rows we're going for $205 each.

    Inflation is a bitch

    I paid a whopping $25 each for that match in 2014, and found 3 tickets from a NYRB STH who didn't care about Arsenal.

    One key difference is that match in NJ was just a friendly, not the All-Star game. So I don't know if you'd be as lucky to find a DCU STH who has tickets to sell. In fact for an All-Star game STH's might get nada?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see very high prices, based on higher demand for an All-Star game, plus the hyper inflation that's gone on since then, especially in the live event ticketing world.

    Good luck! Maybe there's a creative angle you could try?

    I guess it didn't register for me that this is THE All Star Game. I don't follow MLS, despite Charlotte now having a team. I assumed "a team of MLS All Stars" playing Arsenal would be one of a few exhibitions, like the ICC tournament that used to exist.

    That said, the Wednesday night detail is a bigger deterrent than the ticket price.

    I can confirm as a DCU STU that we don't get tickets.

    Huh (as in genuinely puzzled, not doubting you)? I thought Homeat told me you could.

    We can buy them but they are not part of the season ticket package.

    So there’s a creative angle perhaps: find a STH who might buy a ticket or two on your behalf?

    Prices are steep. Tickets that are normally $25 I’ve seen quoted at $150

    2 days after my birthday, I’ll go if tickets aren’t ridiculous. I paid $240 to see Grizzlies vs Lakers in LA for PLAYOFFS! I am not paying anything near that for a friendly.

    anyone know what the pre sale tickets cost for the east coast games?

    It was a bit of a shitshow so I couldn't complete the transaction and see the total

    Wait, you secured tickets vs. ManU in NYC and you're not sure what you paid for them yet??

    Most sites give you at least a countdown to review the details before you lose your rights to the seats you chose.

    No. The pre-sale were listed as $80 deposit, so I'm not sure if there were additional fees, etc. or not.
    I couldn't complete the purchase because the Arsenal america site kept crashing.

    I'd love to go to this. Missed out on going to SoFi in January when my Dawgs smashed TCU.

    Prices for Arsenal vs Barcelona at Sofi

    Yea I'm full of crap, lol. Got tickets in the 200s section, only because my Charger buddy has season tickets. Selling out fast too.

    I think I spent like $100-140 the last time Arsenal came to LA, to sit right behind the goal. So this is still a nice deal.
