    Re: Tickets for Man Utd vs Chelsea

    Good luck! You can always play "ticket roulette" and go to the match and wait for the kickoff and try to get a bargain from the touts. It's risky, but sometimes it works (it got me into two Super Bowls at the last minute). Actually 300 is slighty cheaper than I thought it would be. I saw prices much higher for the reverse fixture earlier this year.

    Again, good luck!

    You use html image tags. For example, you find a photo on the internet (must end in .jpg, .gif, or something similar) and copy the URL. Then, when you post on BS, surround it with these tags: [​IMG]

    When you leave out the spaces, it will insert the picture instead of an address.

    Ticket Advice

    Hey all, I'm going to be spending a few months in London next spring and was wondering the best way to see some live football. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me regarding how to get tickets. It'd be great to catch a game at Highbury but I'm also interested in seeing matches all around London (Charlton, Fulham, etc.).

    How early can I book them?
    Do I need to have a specific clubs membership to have a prayer of getting tickets?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Re: Ticket Advice

    This is just a suggestion, heck, I don't know if it's possible or not. After reading posts over the past couple of years, it appears that team supporters (members) get priority in ticketing. If I were in your shoes, I'd look in to joining a club as a member. It may cost you some money, but you might find it easier to get tickets, especially if you want to go to games often.

    Re: Ticket Advice

    In england the club members are season ticket holders..in most clubs the season ticket holders get priorty for all tickets...so talking to season ticket holders on here will be your best bet..avoid like the plague e-bay and other auction sites because all you will get is ripped off

    Re: Ticket Advice

    You can just show up on match day and buy off a tout, it will cost ya though.

    In the case of Tottenham most matches go on general sale three weeks before match day.

    The point about becoming a member is a good one. Most teams are not sold out with just season ticket holders, so they have a thing called member's, basically you get a book with ticket vouchers, the price of the game tickets are reduced and you get to buy them usually a day before they go on general sale. The bonus of being a member is in cases of away games or large Cup games like a semi or final, you actually have a chance to get a ticket.

    Check out the Soccernet site. It has good access to the fixtures list. Chelski and Highbury are places you may need to pay a scalper for tickets. West Ham or Fulham would be places you might could get in for the staed price of from 20-35 pounds. You could also look at any of the Championship sides playing on those days.

    By the way, that's Guy Fawkes Day.

    Arsenal play Sunderland on the 5th, that's not really going to be what you'd call a "game" though, is it? A mere formality. There must be better matches on (and in most cases, more chance of tickets too.)

    Re: Ticket Advice

    just stumbled upon this two-month-old question, and since it doesn't appear to have been answered ...

    yes. for somewhere in the neighborhood of 30, or so, quid, you can become a member at THFC. what does that membership get you, you ask? well, for starters, you'll have your very own membership card with your membership identification number (it won't impress the ladies as much as you'd think). you'll also receive a couple of trinkets that, i believe, vary from year to year. this year's gifts were a little metal clock with the club logo (kinda nice) and a little plastic radio with same logo (kinda crap). but without question, the best thing that a THFC membership will get you is greater access to tickets. tickets go onsale to members ten days prior to the general public. as such, acquiring prime seats, or any ticket to a big match (like the north london derby), goes from being almost entirely impossible to being virtually no problem.

    while there may be some additional lesser benefits, it is for that reason alone that i am a member. planning an affordable trip from the states usually requires getting airline tickets prior to match tickets going on sale. in the past, i've always had to plan trips to coincide with matches against smaller clubs to insure that they weren't sold out before going on sale to non-members. this year, i've no such problem - and a little plastic radio. and, oh yes, i also have the satisfaction of knowing that i'm contributing just a little bit more to the wages of pedro mendez.

    Pook it's been along time since I was a member, the tickets cost less still right from the general sale. Bit embarressed about giving false info as to when they go on sale. I had it a day before, rather than 10 :eek:

    When are you goin over? are you an ex pat?

    y'know, i'm not positive, but i don't think so. i don't think members get a discount on tickets - just significantly greater access. the club's gonna take every dime from me it can get, i suppose. we do, however, get a discount on merchandise from the store. thanks, fellas. actually, i suppose i should be greatful for that, as i invariably end up having to buy scarves, hats, or whatever for friends/fans back here at home. just part of the price of going to the lane, i guess. but i gotta tell ya, nothing makes you feel like a bigger tool than walking out of the store with a big bag of 'merchandise'.

    not an ex-pat. just an old anglophile, going back to my triumph- and MG-driving/racing days, long since past.

    the only (spurs) match i'm certain of right now is west ham on 20 november. might get back in the spring, though, too, if fate will be kind enough to line up cheap airfare, and league and cup matches within a few days of each other.

    Getting tickets... (For Spurs and West Ham supporters)

    I need some advice.

    I will be in London on March 4th and I want to check out a Premiership game. My two options are Spurs vs. Blackburn or West Ham United vs. Everton. It seems that Tottenham sells out every week, since they were indeed full for the freakin SUNDERLAND game. I would like to know what the chance is that tickets will still be available on the general onsale date February 19th.

    West Ham supporters, I pose the same question to you.

    My second choices are QPR and Crystal Palace...if I can't get into White Hart Lane or the Boleyn Ground :)

    Thanks!

    Re: Getting tickets... (For Spurs and West Ham supporters)

    according to the spurs website, tickets will go onsale to non-members on february 16th. i would guess (unless we're in an even better position come feb than we're in now) that there will still be some tickets available at that time. i'd also wager that if one were to wait until the 19th, there will not be.

    if you are going with someone else, getting two seats together may prove difficult. these days, it's usually just a smattering of singles that are still available after 10 days of sales to members - and none at all for the bigger matches.

    go to spurs.co.uk beginning on feb 6th (the date tickets go onsale to members), and you'll be able to monitor what's available leading up to the 16th. assuming there are some left, once the 16th rolls around, don't delay. get up early, go to the website, and buy. unless our form drops considerably, they won't stay around too long.
