So I'm desperately looking to get to both the West Ham and Newcastle games on my visit to London. I've thought about splurging and going for one of the Hospitality packages offered through the club(at least for one of the games) but 350quid is quite steep. anyone done the match day package before? If so, how did you like it? Is it worth the money? As a red member, best case, i'm in the upper tier but if I spend the dough I can at least be guaranteed a good meal and beers out of the thing...as well as the match
as a red member you will have no problem getting tickets for these games plus will always be a few on here for sale if you want to wait and take a chance, £350 to watch a game just to get some food and beer is a bit much and stupid , plus remember you cant drink when the game is on.

It would be madness to spend £350 on that package.
My advice is to follow @arsenaltickets (or @arsenal_tickets, something like that anyway) on Twitter ; I guarantee they will have loads of spares for these games, as loads of ST holders would rather stay at home over Christmas. Tweet them a week or so before the West Ham game, they should retweet and you might get a bite from that.
The only snag is you need to meet up with people and had over cash etc which takes a certain leap of faith. A better chance of a decent lower tier seat though.
The other idea is, if you have not already done so, to join one of the many US supporters clubs, and see if you can get any tickets that way.
Thats what I was thinking, although tempting, it's a lot of beer money. Im cool with rolling the dice on tickets but never having been through the process just wanted to see your guys' point of view....plus the exchange rate is garbage for me anyway at the moment. The pound is uber strong!
Have been on one of these Club Arsenal days before.
Good, but as others say, very expensive.
Food is not bad, you get a pre match speech from an ex player or celebrity and someone like Charlie George, Bob Wilson or Sammy Nelson is in the room with you when you eat so you can get autographs and photos.

And still have change !
You've sold it to me mate (apart from the red action bit)
