......and Smith must score. 1,587 Posted April 12, 2016 Really handy KO time.Hopefully the tickets will be one of our cheaper ones. They must feel sorry for us as we''re usually in for a defeat [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted April 12, 2016 Normally it is cheap because they''ve got to shift 70,000 odd seats somehow. Hopefully it''ll be in tranches with people with more away points like me getting first dibs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 457 Posted April 13, 2016 is it still on the tele ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e10_yellow 0 Posted April 13, 2016 It hasn''t been moved yet, it depends which day Man City play the following week (Tuesday or Wednesday) as to whether the TV slots for our game and their game get swapped. It will either be Saturday 5.30pm or Sunday 4pm, both would be on TV. We will know after the draw on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks - useful info guysI have to say the Emirates is a stadium which is impressive. Shame about much of the home support, which you can''t say the same about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,993 Posted April 13, 2016 Great news for me if it''s Sunday as I can''t make Saturday. Morty, I don''t have that many points and I got a ticket last time we played there-were you offshore for that one? October 2013, we lost 4-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I seem to remember Arsenal really heavily discounting the tickets, gonna say 20 quid or something like that, and they were literally gone in an instant.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted April 13, 2016 I''m not sure if it''s still the case but tickets were about £25-£26 last time we went as we were a lower-category game according to Arsenal''s grading system - with any luck that''s still in place.I had heard that tickets will go on sale on Monday (presumably because we won''t know until the Champions League draw on Friday what date Manchester City will be playing on) and you''ll need 1300 points to buy a ticket. I can''t verify that to be true but it certainly sounds feasible enough and about what I would expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,993 Posted April 13, 2016 Just checked my points, only got 900 so unlikely to get a ticket. Might not be a bad thing as I don''t seem to be a lucky mascot this season, we''ve lost all five games I''ve been to so far-just hope we''re safe by the time we play Watford!

e10_yellow 0 Posted April 13, 2016 The points reset every year. Your current total works out as 1000 (season ticket holders) or 500 (priority members) + 50 points for every 2014-15 away game (inc play-off final) + 50 points for every 2015-16 away game so far.At the start of next season the 2014-15 games will be knocked off so everyone''s points will drop to be built up again in the new season.

Worth logging on to check & contacting them to get it corrected if necessary, if you want to go that is. I''m over the magic 1300 points, so Monday morning will be the same routine as this Monday for the Man U game - get into the phone queue and the website queue at 9am... This Monday it only took me about 10 minutes to get through on-line & there were a few seats in the lower Barclay left. They''d all gone by lunchtime. Any guesses how many tickets we''ll get & how much the over-demand will be from people with 1300 points ? I know they''ll sell out quickly but hopefully without the stress from the playoff games... If I had to chose between the Arsenal game and Everton, I''d go for the latter because I prefer the trip to Goodison & it''s the final game of the season. But I''m hoping to go to both. Watford tickets still available peeps..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in a box for the (I think) 3-3 game under Lambert. Really classy and great seats just outside the boxes with an awesome view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted April 13, 2016 Yeah I missed that one. I was there for the infamous game when Turner''s header gave us the lead and Arsenal were looking completely toothless with 80 mins gone until one of their players went down in the box, a classic shoulder-to-shoulder competition for the ball but he went down and a penalty was given, after which we folded to lose 3-1. One of the most gutting away games I''ve been to (and I''ve been to a few). Also I went to the 4-1 defeat when we conceded early and were never in the game. That was Hughton''s last season and the team had really lost any idea of how to tackle that sort of game. I think with Arsenal it''s all about not conceding an early goal. If they score early, they relax and can take you to bits. If we keep it scoreless until half time, their crowd start to get a bit impatient and anything can happen. It''s the sort of game they could be a bit complacent about, realistically they have no chance of the title so their season is over barring making sure they get a top 4 CL spot.
