if you can spare the time on the ticket exchange then you can pick up tickets for any game.

Much easier last season than the one before to get tickets. Ticket exchange is fine if you don't have to travel any distance. I need to book flights so need a bit of advanced planning. Worth becoming a member plus listening to some of the posters it may be even easier to get tickets next season.

I found it was the big games where you had to be quick to purchase on a red membership , But it's still possible to get to most games via red membership.
I think i only missed the manure game last season so it's not bad at all , Just be ready to be online at the strike of the hour ( on the stated sale time)
Well about 10 minutes before even.

It's definitely worth it if you wanna see a few games a season as the others above have described. And just to add to it, it is sooo much more easier getting tickets with the new ticket exchange system where anything available just comes up, and trust me, there were always spare tickets this season for most if not all games we had!!

I still kinda preferred the old Ticket Exchange as felt more sense of accomplishment finding a single spare after clicking on how many blocks, it felt as if you were rewarded for all the hard work you put into finding/looking for one.

Anyways, good luck on becoming a new member and hope you enjoy going to all the games you get the chance to see.

On the subject of Red membership I e-mailed the club to get some sort of idea where I on the red-silver list and was told that I moved over 50,000 places in the last 2 seasons :shock:

If only I didn't miss the renewal cut-off a couple of seasons ago :banghead:

Think Barcelona was the only one that went at Silver-stage last season. All the others went to red but for the bigger games, you get stuck with upper tier, pricey seats.

This is my fifth year as a Red member. I'm a member of an Arsenal supporters club and I was talking to a guy there last night who said that this is his sixth year and he has just been upgraded to silver. So worth sticking in there.

Just one thing apart from being able to apply for tickets a month before red level are there any other benefits???

The lower part of the list probably moves much faster than the top, as the longer you have been on the list the more you want to be sure to renew, but at the bottom if you are happy as a red member you don't worry about renewing.
