ill wait for the xchange, i aint paying 70 quid!! i love arsenal but the cat a tickets are a fucking joke!! funny in todays football world that a 48 quid (plus the bollocks booking fee) seems almost cheap!!!!
last years nld the atmosphere was shit, (12.45 kick off being the culprit me thinks)

Maybe all the JCL's or JLC's or whatever they are called, thought the shame of losing to Hull put them off this game?!?!
I can't wait to go to my first ever north london derby!!!
I managed to get tickets this morning but only after a whole load of hassle. As i am at work when they go on sale i have to call them. i call at 9.15,9.20, get through fine on the phone. 9.25 i press all the 1 for this 2 for that and then it goes beep.beep,beep and just cuts me off. happened at least 10 times. So i kept on ringing them, until it didnt cut me off. it took 13 phone calls to an 0844 number from my mobile in total and 42 MINUTES to get my tickets. the time i did get through i was on the phone/hold for 27 MINUTES. i am not looking forward to my phone bill i got through and then the bloke tells me there is something up with my account there obviously isnt as ive booked tickets since the start of the season on my red membership. it fucks me off arsenal dont get this sorted and it happens all the time. Happened for the everton game and west brom or newcastle. arsenal dont give a shit as its ticketmasters problem and not theres. i wish i could send an invoice to arsenal for the £ i spent for 42 minutes to an 0844 number
rant over got my tickets, but surely red members like myself doing it by phone must of had this morning, or it has happened before.

mind you if i was loaded would i give a toss??
atmosphere wasn't shit, it was fucking embarrasing!!!
was away when tickets came out for silver and junior in fam enclosure and aint gonna pay 66 quid for a ticket, correction, aint gonna make my dad pay 66 quid . hoping to get a ticket off a mates dad for half of that, so fingers crossed. one game i most definitely do not want to miss
Those flying over - the whorehouses in Kings Cross have lost appeal - try going round to the London Bridge area - one not far from Southwalk station which aint too bad.
Those waiting for the TX - don't think a single ticket will go on there.
when i said whorehouse i meant poxy little hotel,, mrgnu said he dropped prossies to the hotel we use, i won't actually be visiting any house of il repute

It's a total rip off.
Ticketmaster make loadsamoney by keeping supporters on the phone (at premium rates) for as long as possible.
They also operate the online booking system.
I suspect that they throw a few spanners in the works, to encourage more phone calls.
