I don't understand...

Post by Macca »

This morning I logged into The Arsenal website at 9.20am in preperation to purchase a ticket against 5pur2 with my silver membership at 10am.
I had a short time in the queue but was logged in 5 minutes later.
I kept refreshing to ensure I was always logged in, BUT, at 9.45am I entered the queue again and did not get to the purchase page until 10.20am.
At this point there was one left in the Lower North, block 10 I think, and limited availability in The Clockend.
I bought one in Block 24 Clock End so I'm happy with that, BUT , I don't understand how they went so quickly??
Do I need to have several windows open? Or use some other kind of crafty way of having a chance of getting my purchase in earlier?
This is common occurance for me for games like this, I'm not that bothered as I always get one, but would interested to know your thoughts/ideas/experiences??

Took me an hour to get 5pur2 tickets, longest for a long time - but its the enemy and the team are doing well, so no suprise realy.

A game on tv, Category A and still tickets are like Goldust - silly money for a ticket - but they can basically charge what they want these days and the ground will still sell out.

Wow you must be the biggest AKB I know.
Kroenke must look at comments from people like you and think hey lets raise the top price of a ticket to £150 next season. :roll:

I accept that the Spurs game is "the big one" but seriously at what point does can this be considered a rip off?
£80+ for a lunchtime game is not value for money.

How does that make him an AKB?

Because he will pay top money to watch us play those cnuts down the road. Money doesn’t come into it when we play them scum wankers


You should try going a game like this rather than the CC cup and the odd small game here and there.

I pay 980 and then go most away games , am I an akb?

Well said Mikey!!! but dont forget RedMember is a wum and posts 99% of his shit to get a reaction. As he's said in the past he's been pissed at half time at champions league nights and thinks Almunia was the best keeper at the club last year.... its all shit put him on the ignore/foe list

in my opinion Mikey yes you are - (as well as being a top supporter of course)

anyone who has a season ticket is paying for matches up to a year in advance and therefore are the people who give the greatest backing to Wenger and the board.

I have done a couple of Spurs games and yes the atmosphere is much better than other games but I refuse to pay £80+ for a match to a club that sells its best players each summer. When the ambition is there to actually try and win the league I may be more persuaded.

I love my team and what comes with it. I’m sensible enough to know we are run by wankers , but never the less I love going and having the freedom to pick the games I want to go which is any game I like.

This is hardly an akb. I was around before wenger and I was going games before wenger. Hopefully the old goat will be gone soon. Games like Scum home and away , and chavs home and away are a big deal for me and all my mates. I would never stop just to spite wenger or the board as its me who misses out in the grand scheme of things.

Imagine we do ever win stuff, its “so called akbs” like me that will see it along with a close group of mates. While you scramble for tickets for the CC cup

fair enough, well I am not going to criticise the best supporters at the club.
It is just my opinion why I don't think Wenger will be leaving any time soon

A friend of mine was booking mine but he was either too busy or forgot so I sent him a reminder. He eventually got one for me in Block 120 at about 12.30. The confirmation e-mail was sent at 12.47.

My point is, its supply and demand - demand massively outstrips supply - even when a game is on tv - so they can charge whatever they want.

Do i agree with it? Like paying it? No - but you can see why they do it , its Modern Football.

My nephew dropped me a msg this morning asking if I could get him a ticket for the spuds match on my silver membership. I logged on and found there were only tickets available in the top tier in two blocks - £123 each. I replied to him and he laughed and said no thanks. You'd have to be absolutely mad to pay £123 for a ticket to a football match (thats not a cup final).

Its disgusting, really. But, i doubt those seats will be empty on the day - i hope they are though in a way, because whilst 8o is a piss take in itself, over 100 to watch a football match is crazy.
