Arsenal at home... where can I get a ticket

positivenote · 10-01-2017 12:41am #1

chaps the wife has booked us a weekend in London away from the kids, arriving in on the friday and leaving on the sunday evening the weekend of the arsenal match at the lane on April. Im looking at all possibilities of getting a ticket. Where do I start, dont mind the price to be honest, just want to be guaranteed getting a legit ticket. Cheers

And what are you going to do while she is at the game?

slegs · 10-01-2017 10:20am

I'd appreciate any help at all to be honest. I was on one of the sites and they can be got, but they are north of £300 !!!! If they are still available at that price towards the end of feb/march i'll fork out as I have to get a ticket with the flights and Hotels booked. Its just the one aswell, anywhere in the ground would do...
PM me if you need to
Cheers

positivenote · 12-01-2017 10:53am

if I become a 'Lillywhite' memeber (only £20) for the rest of the season, does this entitle me to get a ticket when they go on general sale to members? or are there no guarantees? any help advice would be appreciated
Thanks again

Hatch99 · 13-01-2017 12:23am

No guarantees. I'll get you a bronze membership card and you can apply with that

chaps im just giving this thread a bit of life as Its getting close to the members application date (13th March). But if anyone is in a position to try and get me a single ticket for this match I would really appreciate it. Hatch99 has already offered to try and get one but they no doubt will be scarce. Any help would be really appreciated. feel free to PM me
thanks

So the game has been moved to Sunday 30th at 4.30... fxckin sick. Anyone ever do a game this late and catch a flight home that night?

Hatch99 · 28-02-2017 11:19pm

Yes but it's a long day and a late flight home

Game will be over by 6.20ish and there's flights to Dublin at 22.05 ex Stansted with Ryanair and Aer Lingus to Dublin.ex both Gatwick and Heathrow at 22.00. You could easiily make any of those flights with time to spare.

Assuming I get a ticket (fingers crossed) I'll be on the 22.15 ex Heathrow to Cork.

How much are your flights? Im flying over in the morming of the game to stansted from cork and getting the 20.35 back to cork that night from stansted for only 60 euro return

I messed up my last post but this might be a problem to you. Stansted Express "seems" to be running through Seven Sisters that day as opposed to Tottenham Hale/Northumberland Park

Thanks for sharing this, we will still be ok as seven sisters isnt far away. Just get over ground back from white hart lane to seven sisters.

€137 but will probably be more by the time I know if I've got a ticket. I'm too old to chance making that 20.35 Stansted flight

Are you sure Yiddo. Seven Sisters is a fair walk. 4.30 kick-off so it won't be over until 6.20 or 6.25. I would doubt that you will make the 1838 from Seven Sisters so your best chance will be 1853 which gets to Stansted at 1928. I must have spent the bones of 30 minutes in the security queue there last Sunday night. Sounds very tight for the 2020 flight. I'd be inclined to pay the money too and head for Heathrow!!

Can always go halves in a taxi back to airport, we can get Express security if needed for a fiver, flight be 20.35 plus stansted normally have gate open 20 mins before departure, ill let you know how we get on ha. Thanks for the watch out tho.

You'll never make it Rich, i've seen you running and its not a pretty sight

WHL · 02-03-2017 2:31pm

Express security would definitely be a help but I'd imagine that a taxi would just get snarled up in the post-match traffic. Maybe others can offer opinions but I still think that it is very tight. Mind you if you do it, let us know.

This 10.30am flight out of Cork to Stansted is handy though for getting in and out in the same day for a 3pm kick-off. Don't think that was the last season

Im not going to be on my own, plus we did it last year as utd was a 4.30pm and no worries there. Will let ye know.

Ya thats a great flight but only saturday available not sunday. Have done many of time

positivenote · 13-03-2017 5:43pm

chaps, im just giving this thread a bump as applications opened this morning for the tickets. If anyone is willing to apply on my behalf with their memebership, in addition to those who already have, I would be eternally appreciative. When do stub hub aplications open if I dont have any luck with the ballot? only looking for a single ticket...
cheers

Unfortunately my membership is not available as have applied for myself, but just to let you know that this game will not be a ballot and will be allocated on loyalty points because it is Cat A. You will need to find a member with I am guessing 170+ loyalty points (this is just my prediction) to have a chance. Best of luck and hope you get sorted.

HI mate, cheers but I have also heard that it will be ballot based. Im hoping it is obviously, but if tickets go to stubhub any ideas on chances of getting one on there?

Is definitely not a ballot mate. As regards stubhub is a hard one to call, am sure some tickets will pop up there but could be talking upwards of 150.

8. How will tickets be allocated in the ballot process for “Category A” matches at White Hart Lane?
The application process will work exactly the same way for all Premier League matches at White Hart Lane, as set out in this FAQ page. For the home matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham United, tickets will be allocated using members’ individual loyalty points. This process will work in a similar way to away matches in that all members must each have the required number of loyalty points individually when applying for tickets in a group. Only the members of the group with sufficient loyalty points will qualify for a ticket. Tickets will NOT be issued based on the average number of points within a group.
When submitting an application, members will still be asked to specify an upper limit they are willing to accept for match tickets. As detailed in Answer 10 below, if a member opts to limit the price range they are willing to be considered for when they submit an application they will potentially reduce their chances of success. The loyalty points cut-off that is announced for each Category A home match will not guarantee a ticket in the event that a member has limited the ticket price that they are willing to accept.

endabob1 · 14-03-2017 4:59pm

According to the official site, even stubhub tickets are members only, not quite sure how this would work or if I've just misinterpreted the website and the dates just arent out yet....
http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/tickets/stubhub/on-sale-dates/

As a guideline though, the watford & Bournemouth tickets are circa £100 so i would expect at least double that for an arsenal ticket, if they do appear

positivenote · 15-03-2017 2:12pm

I went on to stubhub to check out ticket for Bournmouth and it asked me for my membership number...
I dont really mind paying over the odds for a ticket once im guareenteed to get one.

yiddo59 · 21-03-2017 10:06am

http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/spurs-v-arsenal-ticket-ballot-200317/

Ticket ballot result put back to tomorrow afternoon. emails being sent out Thursday.

Due to the FA Cup semi-final ticket sale to Season Ticket holders tomorrow (Tuesday, March 21), we will be delaying the running of the ballot for the game against Arsenal by 24 hours.

Results will therefore be announced later on Wednesday with emails sent out to all applicants on Thursday.

YiddoOConnell · 22-03-2017 9:27pm

176 lps were the cut off for the game, nearly 25,000 applied, I missed out by 1 point. But luckily for me I had a contact who over 200 lps and he can't go so I got his ticket

KingdomYid · 22-03-2017 9:59pm

Made the cut off with only a few points to spare, happy days

just putting out a final call on this chaps... if anyone is willing to pm me bronze membership details to try and get a ticket for the Arsenal match through stub hub i would be eternally grateful. They go on sale, if any are available, through stubhub to members from tomorrow morning until friday. PM me if anyone could help me out.
Thanks

Make sure you check what time tickets go on sale. I got some on general release for the Bournemouth game, and they switched from restricted to One Hotspur only over to general release at midday on st Patrick's Day.
Could be nine am either.

well chaps this is going to be a tough one... having constantly checked stubhub since monday morning at 9.00am a ticket for the arsenal match just came up for sale, I proceeded to order it and tried to purchased it but needed to type in my CCV number and low and behold someone got there before me... I was nearly in tears as I hurled abuse at the computer. Wife came running in thinking I had cut myself.... absolutely freaked. The search continues

Don't give up yet! How much was the ticket for anyway? Surely when you have it in your basket you have about 10 mins to have purchased it.

yeah you would hope and expect so... I have sent a complaint to stubhub. I had it in my checkout and pressed purchase, only for them to ask for a confirmation on my CCV number, by the time i had typed this 3 digit number the ticket was gone. It was £108.90 + £18.90. i was nearly in tears earlier... of course Ill keep trying stubhub right up to the day before and eventually i'll end up going down to the ground looking for a touted one.
