Box office Fail

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

grrrrrrrrrr
Upper tier always takes longer to sell out... it's more expensive, further from the pitch, usually an inferior atmosphere.... only thing going for it is a better view of the whole pitch.

I had the same problem when booking my chelski tickets yesterday. I put the verified by visa password in and it said there was a problem with the expiry date - I tried again with a different card and it worked first time.
only and extra 7quid for JG in upper tier........

I managed to get 3 of them yesterday, couldn't get 3 together but no matter I still got some. On the plus side I didn't have to pay £92 each.

Fuckin Ticket Hub is fuckin shit.

It's operated by fuckin Ticketmaster.

Who are fuckin *word censored*.

They won't up-rate the fuckin system, because they are only fuckin interested in maximising their fuckin profits. The fuckin *word censored*. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I trust this is fuckin clear to all.

It's not Arsenal's fault. It's fuckin Ticketmaster. The fuckin *word censored*.

Not building your own box office could be one reason, but the main reason to go w Ticketmaster is usually that Ticketmaster pay huge advances to venue operators (stadiums, concert halls etc) to get the *exclusive* rights to sell tickets for the venue. So a big cheque is usually the real reason.
