I was robbed. I hope our online box office blows up.

I'd like to know how Mr Steroworld was able to get two tickets together at 11am when i was unable to do so at 10.15am.

I tried every section of the ground.

Good luck to the bloke i say but how do Arsenal manage this booking system?

It'll be something to do with transactions dropping out. I got in only a few minutes after the start but the whole bloody thing froze. Those seats I had got from that transaction would have gone back in the pot. Stereo must have been lucky and got tickets that someone was unable to complete the transaction for.

Not sure what you mean Bas but I was lucky to get 2 together on my second attempt.

I mean the two you got together the first time went back into to the pot and Mr Stereoworld got them instead.

You're right.

Then it carried on with my purchase! :finger: :finger:

I got that message three times Baz, before I eventually got my confirmation, I was on the website from about 09:15 but I naively was constantly refreshing the page waiting for "Buy Now" to come up next to Arsenal vs ManU and by five past ten it still hadn't, so I clicked on the actual words Arsenal vs ManU and the waiting bar was about 3/4 coloured out so I must've been in the queue without knowing, and I got 4 tickets in a row exactly where I wanted them, ten rows back, upper tier block 120 right over the top of the Mancs, luck of the draw I s'pose

so the trick is to time when you log onto the box office just right

had you reached the end of the queue before 10pm presumably you would have had to start again

I'm not entirely sure to tell you the truth, we've all (FOR YEARS!!!) tried to figure it out and nothing seems to make sense like I said it's seems to be luck of the draw to a certain extent

I agree BB. I've tried all different times to log in, and still havent found the best one!

Glad you got your tickets, although why do you like sitting there?

oops, misread it to say 10 rows from the back, and I thought that was a bit far away to give them abuse!

(or maybe not.....)

I've sat in row 1 in that block and its great to look down on them and smile sweetly as they hurl abuse up in our direction......

so gutted Im gunna miss this one

Never seen the tickets for a match at the emirates go so quickly. Hopefully they will reserve 1500 for red members like they did with the league game.
Here's hoping
