tickets for the football

Post-It-Note_3

Hey all, sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place. Just wandering if anyone knows a a website where I can purchase cheap (er) football match tickets? I have tried lastminute but the match I am looking for isnt on there. Ticketmaster etc are soooo expensive! Thanks in advance xx :j

Which match do you need?

You won't find tickets on sale cheaper than ticketmaster, as this is the price the ticket sells for - there is no markup (other than booking / service charges).

I would contact the club first - their ticket office will be able to give you more info.

Thanks. I am looking for Arsenal v Middlesboro in January. The tickets arent on sale for non members at Arsenal so looks like it will have to be Ticketmaster for £300 for 2 tickets!!

Ah, Arsenal tickets eh. Very hard to come by - highbury is tiny!

I hate to recommend touts, and bear in mind these will be standard tickets, not hospitality like on ticketmaster, but, the following site appears to have them for £95 each.

thanks for that. I think £229.65 is still alot to see Arsenal!!! Coming from a Chelsea fan!

Try Middlesborough nearer the date ?

Make yourself a member of either club, Championship Clubs charge about 15 quid for this but you get first dibs on the tickets (all Clubs do them over the phone) after the season ticket holders so you end up not paying a fortune.

Agreed. One of the (few) advantages of being a sunderland supporter is that tickets are reasonable (15-30 quid) and it never sells out.

Is that for 2 tickets?
For an hour and a half of football..

Well done Arsenal !!

A fellow Gooner here who's also a member of the Arsenal. To be perfectly honest, the membership is worth it for ticket availability, although already this season there's been a few matches which have gone on general sale to all.

I've seen a marked difference in the last year with the availability of tickets, they are becoming more available (thus adding to the debate that Premiership attendances are going down and games are boring).

Keep an eye on here - tickets generally go on sale one calendar month before the match, through Ticketmaster online and through the Arsenal box office.

A game such as Middlesbrough isn't going to sellout a la Chelsea or Man U, I've seen them play Middlesbrough twice in the last year alone, so I think you have a good chance of tickets - if you're patient!

Good luck, I hope that the tickets come up for sale!

That game won't sell out. What Arsenal fan wants to see their team humbled for the second time this season?
