Don't flame me for being ignorant or starting a new thread. I'm new to the buying a ticket thing. I'll be heading to Europe for the first time in March and will be in London on the 24th when Arsenal play Aston Villa. I have a few questions. How can I go about getting a single ticket for the game? What are my options for buying a ticket? How soon can I get the ticket? What are the price ranges? Can I get a good seat? If I had my choice I would like to buy a great seat. Money won't be that much of an issue because this is a rare opportunity for me. Thanks for the help.
Your main options are Arsenal America and a Red Membership through Arsenal. I would probably go for the latter option, as with AA you'll have no idea where you're sitting til the day of, and it probably won't be a great seat.. Basically, with a Red Membership you can buy your ticket a month before, and you can use the ticket exchange, which is probably your best bet for getting a good seat. Tickets will cost 40 to 100 pounds. If you're really feeling rich, you can get a hospitality package ticket, which usually includes a meal and a ticket in club level, but plan on spending 300 pound or more for that.
Well I would say go with the red membership as you can also get a gift box(various items come with it) and I believe you can also get Arsenal Player. Plus you are more likely to at least hear from Arsenal rather than AA.
I will be coming back from the USA on the 23rd March in time for the Villa game. I have a silver membership that you can use, so you can book a ticket anywhere you want to. Also if you get red membership, at the way the team are playing at present, a lot of games are now on "general sale" which was pretty much unheard of a couple of seasons back ! If you want to use my card, then let me know and I will give you the details to book it, which is usually 2 months before the fixture.
