Match Day Info and Tickets

Any Arsenal fans looking for a good, friendly place to have a drink before the match on 7th January look no further than The Fulwood Con Club , Blackpool Road, PR1 6AD. 10/15 mins walk to the ground, close to motorway junction, good sized car park (small charge) good selection of beers

Hi everybody.
I am a Gooner from South Africa.
I made the trip to The Emirates and watched the West Brom game and I am also watching the Crystal Palace game.
I recently realised that I will still be in England when we have the Bournemouth game on the third. The main thing I need to know is: what is the best way to try to find a ticket for that game? The best would be to sit with the away fans, but if that’s not possible, then a normal seat is also okay.
And secondly, what’s the best way to get to Bournemouth from London (Watford to be exact)?

Now that’s what I call being proactive :sunglasses:

You’re talking about Bournemouth away, a match where our allocation is 1100 tickets and over 1000 of those are already taken up by Away Scheme members. Pretty sure Bournemouth would’ve easily sold out for our visit too. Unfortunately you’ve not picked the ideal game there at all.

Thanks for the info. What do you think about me going to the stadium and looking for a ticket just before the game… Or is that asking for trouble?

I wouldn’t recommend it, but then again I don’t have any details on how Bournemouth manage their ticket sales. You’d have to assume the game is a sell out by now though. You can try some online ticket resellers at a slightly inflated price (home end), or you can head to Bournemouth’s ground and take a chance with a paper ticket tout. Maybe they operate a membership card system, maybe they don’t? Personally I wouldn’t waste your time, as it’s a long way to travel for really low odds of success.

If you were still in England for the Preston NE cup game, your chances would be a fair bit higher I suspect.

Whilst your chances are extremely slim, like Robin said, the best chance is on twitter. There are a couple of arsenal ticket accounts that are moderated, so they are generally safe and all tickets at FV, but there are the occasional scumbags that try a scam. Your best bet is to find someone who will meet face-to-face. I’ve done that before. I’ve chanced it twice with paypal and delivery and got scammed one of those two times. Unfortunately, I was one of the first with that seller. Always a risk when not face-to-face.

In case you want to have a look, here are the twitter accounts (I’ve used the 1st 2):
@arsenal_tickets (best one imo)
@tickets2arsenal
@ArsenalFCTicket

Were you scammed by someone off Online Gooner? :unamused: Sorry to hear that, but congrats on your news :slight_smile:

Thanks. No, it wasn’t on OG, it was through the main twitter arsenal ticket account I used. I didn’t lose out on too much, if they would’ve been expensive, I wouldn’t have even tried. Damn, I completely forgot about that forum, but their ticket services can’t be used until you have made a certain number of posts.

If anyone wants or needs a spare for Preston in the cup this saturday, let me know by tomorrow morning and i’ll hook you up.

Can’t remember what the price was, £20-something quid only, but i’ll discount it further for you anyway.

Sup guys. It’s been a while since I’ve logged in here. I will be unexpectedly at the Burnley game and wanted to ask some logistical questions since this will be my first ever Arsenal game. I guess I wanted to know how long before the game should I arrive?
Is there an OA pub that you all meet prior to the games for a few pints? Do they allow buying things at the Armory and carrying it into the Stadium or should I make my purchases after the game?
I’m excited AF at this point and really looking forward to this!

I’m planning on coming down from up north to take in a few football matches in London on 11th Feb. It’s viable, logistically for me to attend your game V Hull at 12:30 and then get to The London Stadium for 3 for West Ham’s game. If I buy an under 16s membership as I’m 15, how do you rate my chances of getting 3 tickets for my mates and I? Pretty pessimistic but if there’s a chance that I can tickets and I don’t have to pay silly money for it, then info’s appreciated. Cheers.

Anyone bought tickets with PL Tickets via twitter? @premier_tix. Would like to know if ok to do so!
Thanks.

Never heard of them. The account doesn’t even seem to exist.

Seems dodgy!

they’ve changed their handle and name to ticket hub. https://twitter.com/the_ticket_hub

Yes something dodgy. tk u

@karsenal I’ve moved your posts into this thread as you’ll find far more information you need for your ticket hunt.

If you’re looking via Twitter, check out @k1tsun3 suggestions from an earlier post in this thread for other accounts to look at.

thank you. they are assuring me they’re not scammers but dont have many twitter followers. not sure what to do… selling home Bayern tix for £120! hmmmm

bayern home tics will go for much more than that my guess is 300 each . i will be using mine so no joy from me .if tics seem cheap its normally a scam .
