Around 75-80% of Arsenal tickets went to the highest tier so it's not a completely closed shop.
The second tier should be achievable to any long standing season ticket holder and then, if "less attractive" games are travelled to, the upper tier should also be possible before long as those 15...
Fair enough. And a flaw with the "10% ballot" suggestion is that a fair few people won't want a single ticket, they'll almost certainly want at least 2.
There could be but only if actual physical attendance is verified (being discussed here). A "problem" with the Premier League's £30 ticket price and 19 away games a year is that it will cost less money, in terms of ticket prices, to follow the Albion away in the PL than it did in the...
West Brom will be quite in demand I reckon, assuming it remains a Saturday 3pm. We've not played them for nearly 25 years, so it will be a new ground for many, and it's not too far to travel in the big scheme of things.
Newcastle, Burnley and Stoke are all a bit different, although we've not...
If you had sufficient points to be in today's second tier for Arsenal, got given place 300 in the queue but just missed out because 300 tickets had been held back, do you think you'd be on here posting that it was fair enough as it gave others with less points than you a chance?
I'd venture...
Well I think you do stand a decent chance just not for the "high profile" games just yet.
Get to the games that many others can't be bothered with, accruing 15 points each time, and you'll increase your chances when the "big" games come round again.
I saw Watford doing something similar:
NO CHANCE OF GETTING AN AWAY TICKET? THINK AGAIN. WE WANT TO HELP...
CLEARLY, adding to an existing profile will be easier for those already in Groups A & B above, since they are the fans likely to have most access to away match tickets.
However the club...
A devil's advocate asks: have you attended "as many away games as possible" in seasons gone by, as your priority position for the games you mention should allow you to attend if so.
It's a difficult situation. The only thing I see that the club could do differently is keep back a number (say...
Give or take I think so, yes. I just think the number of tickets put on sale today was a fair bit less than 3,000 due to those that the club have held back for staff and partners etc.
I'd contact Supporter Services ASAP if the points would qualify you to buy tomorrow as mine were there when I logged on this morning so yours should be too.
Sales have tailed off massively now, as most of those in tier 1 who want a ticket will have secured theirs already.
23: 680
Disabled: 32
Total: 712 @ 10:40
I don't think 3000 were on sale from the off. It's difficult to say because I first got access just before 9:10, but given the payment processing issues, it seems likely that not many were sold in the opening 10 minutes.
It could be that only something like 2,500 were put on sale to fans. I...
When it's like a difficult Krypton Factor challenge to buy any ticket at all, I suspect that most just take the block they are first presented with and push on with the task from there.
