News: Arsenal America 2009/2010 Ticket Requests for Home Matches through 12-31-09

They'll have to come through me first!

 

Quick question as I'm sure some others might want to know the answer to this: What about Cup finals(Carling, FA, Champions League)? Those considered away matches since they are at neutral grounds?

 

Hey guys,
I just signed up to these forums, but I've been reading them for a little while...I'm trying to get tickets on Boxing Day against Aston Villa, so I signed up for AA and put in a ticket request. My only question is: what are the odds I actually get these tickets? I know I can't be a priority because I signed up to AA so recently, but I want to make sure I'm doing my best to get them in one way or another.

 

You're chances should be pretty good. That's when the Arsenal America roadtrip is, so i think they have a block of tickets for that game. It all depends on how many people have signed up already, but i think you should be fine.

 

Hey drewn...you are to be highly commended for following the protocol
of these ticket requests on your first venture into this forum, and your first ticket application...well played.
As Antifan said, you should stand a good chance....all the best.

 

Thanks for all the help...I'm very impressed at how AA is run (but not so impressed with Arsenal on how difficult they make it to get tickets). I've looked into other London teams like Chelsea and Fulham just as a back up if I can't get tickets for Arsenal (not that I'd really want to see them, but one PL game is better than nothing, right?) and their ticketing is...less than stellar.

And Josh, I'm going to send an email over...Mark from AA also suggested that I talk to you.

 

Hoping to make it over in February for a few matches (will be my first ever as well!). Anyway, I renewed my premium membership but it stated something about being due by July 31st. It still let me renew so I'm assuming I'm okay. Is that a cut-off date for somebody new? Just trying to make sure everything is squared away before I make some requests. I have a few friends (who I've converted to football and Arsenal) that might be interested in coming over with me and I'd like to make sure I can get them tickets as well, should they become AA Premium members on time. Thanks for any clarification!

 

It says pretty clearly that new memberships are available through February.

Hey, new member, just discovered Arsenal America recently and would have loved to have discovered this option sooner, though I guess it may not have done me any good, due to bad luck when it comes to trip timing.

I'm going to be in (or between) London and Glasgow during the last week in Dec and the first week of Jan, so the only match it'd be feasible for me to attend would be the Aston Villa match--which Arsenal America is not accepting ticket requests for, due to their road trip. Alas.

Of course, now that it's past the 12 weeks prior notice that is required, I guess the point is moot. ;]

Any other suggestions, or want to commiserate?

Good luck to anyone else looking for tickets though. Worst case scenario, I guess I can wait 'til next trip. I think. Hopefully.

 

Send them an email, last i heard they still had some Aston Villa tickets available. They were supposed to be for participants in the road trip, but i never understood how a member going to a game at that time wouldn't be a participant.

 

Heh. I suppose I should have done that from the beginning, but didn't want to be another one of those people who just didn't read the rules. I was under the impression that by going on the road trip you were expected to be there for at least two of the matches scheduled during the trip and attend the tour. All of which I would love to do, but as I am going with friends who aren't Gooners it may not be possible. I'm sure they're an understanding bunch though.

I will send an email after work tonight and keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the encouragement.

 

I'm not sure what the rules are, but by participating in the road trip, i would expect nothing more than showing up at the pub before and after the game and meeting up with the other members. But that's me. Send an email, it can't hurt to ask.

 

Told ya so...

 

@antifan

And email sent, thanks both of you. Still have my fingers crossed.

 

Have a good trip!

 

So catching up on my ticket processes (haven't look in a while), I guess it's too late to request any tickets for Hull City on Dec. 19 since it's < 3 months away, huh? Bummer. Is it worth trying anyway?

Just had a trip come up to the UK and I'm hoping I might have the chance to make it to my first Arsenal match. Would be coming alone though, probably!

 

Fantastic. I'll put it in ASAP. Thanks for the help!

 

Kudos to Arsenal America. You guys really have things going smoothly. <48 hours from ticket request to ticket secured!

 

yes!!!!!!
