Guys, I have a bit of a connundrum...... I was wondering if anyone on here can advice on the best way forward..... Here goes... I have a season ticket, (well not legally mine, as in not in my name,) but I have paid for and been using for the past 3-4 seasons). It's for an old mate, who could not afford to run it any longer (economic climate), so I decided to pay for it and use the ticket, rather than let it go back to the pool and be re-allocated. Now AFC have now decided to offer me my own ticket, only saw the letter yesterday, (letter was sent to an old address, as that was where I lived 8-9yrs ago when I put my name on the list) dated June, giving me 5days to redeem my ticket..... I have already paid for 1 ticket, not knowing my number was going to be up.....now I have been offered one in my name,and do not want to pass this opportunity, as don't want to wait another 10years! At the same time, I don't want to shell out on another season ticket, when I already have 1.....
Which is the better seat? I'd be tempted to go for my own one if the seat is as good/almost as good as then it's my very own to do with as I will. Your friend would probably be able to find someone to buy the other off you I'm sure and, failing that, would you be able to suck it up for a season and try and flog it individually each game? PS I don't want it. Apparently as I am getting married I am now no longer allowed nice things.
God knows why I am offering advice to a goon but hey ho in the spirit of a summer truce here goes: Buy the ST in your own name. Do Arsenal have a buy back scheme? If so sell the tickets from your mates ticket back to the club so you can make back a big chunk of your money.
Buy the one in your name, sell the other one. Go on Twitter and ask a few popular bloggers to send out a tweet asking if any one is interested.
Sell it each week on Ticket Exchange,Which part of the ground is it for ? Don't you know someone that would buy your ticket off you on a match by match basis ?
buy it, get it, it's worth it. when the glory days come back, people will be clamouring to become ST holders.
@arsenal87, I hope to buy it by hook or by crook. I have put word out if anyone is interested in just paying for it for a year. Sadly I might have to go with everyones suggesting that I buy it and sell it game by game, just wondering if I can defer for a year or if there is a limit on the number of games you can sell back to Arsenal.
£ The letter says "Please note that the available seating is limited. The majority of available seating is situated behind the goal areas in the UPPER Tier, priced at £1423 (or 1,173 for the back ten rows of this area)". However I am more inclined to go for the cheaper option (1723), especially as I already have paid through the back door for one, above Wenger's dugout!
If it had been on the lower tier i may have been interested but i have problems walking and i find it difficult on the top tier.It's our supporters club AGM on Sunday i'll put some feelers out for you if you want
Thanks, that will be great......the deadline however is Monday, will speak to them today and see what they say.
