Is anyone here a member and can they explain what exactly it includes? Firstly, is it different from the Away Membership Scheme, which i think is just a season ticket for away games? If it is different, does it give you priority to away games over red and silver members?
I've looked on the Arsenal website and there's literally no information about it or how to register for it. Considering the season has just ended can anyone tell me how to apply for one.
Cheers

1) You can't join it anymore.
2) If you are in it, you build up away credits without being a Season Ticket Holder. You buy away games depending on how many away points you have.
3) You do not get immediate access to all away games. As per point 2, you simply buy games according to availability depending on your level of away points.

Re: Arsenal Travel Club membership
Ok thanks for this. Can you collect away points if you have red membership? Would this give you preferential treatment for away tickets over red, silver and ST holders with no points Or will ST holders always get preferential treatment over red members regardless of how many away games they've attended?frankbutcher wrote:From my understanding:Resident Plastic wrote:Is anyone here a member and can they explain what exactly it includes?

No, you can't accumulate away points on red or silver. That's the point of Travel Club membership I believe.Resident Plastic wrote:Ok thanks for this.

It's basically so you can do aways without the need for a home season ticket and without being on the away scheme which forces you to buy all games.
When tickets go on sale its usually
Away Scheme
ST with 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 credits and Travel Club with 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 credits.
Then if any are left they go to Silver then Reds.

Re: Arsenal Travel Club membership
Such a shame that they've stopped accepting new members, guess I'm limited to the odd away day next year then.

Re: Arsenal Travel Club membership
They stopped it because it doesn't make the Club any money. They'd rather force you to buy a season ticket in order to go to away games.
