It shouldn't be too difficult to get one outside the ground for that game.

True but I'd prefer to have one before I go.

Tx IrishGunner, I'll try that.
What is strange is the Watford game is sold out but there are still tickets available for the next 3 home matches Everton, Liverpool (SS) and
Newcastle .

Those games are all on sale to silver members. If a game doesn't sell out to silver members (none so far this year have, which is great because last year you pretty much had to be a silver member to get tickets) they go on sale to red members (which is basically a waiting list to get onto full membership). The Watford game sold out pretty quickly as soon as it went on sale to Red members. Can't be sure about those 3 games but I'd say maybe Everton will go on sale to red members if we're lucky, the other 2 will sell out to silver members.

With regards to getting a ticket outside the ground... has anybody been to a game in the Emirates stadium yet? With your membership it basically tells you they're doing away with printed tickets and that to get into a game they'll activate your membership card and you just scan that in at the gates. Would this guy really be able to pick up a ticket outside the ground?

Most clubs are doing away with printed tickets. I went over to see Manchester City and Aston Villa at the City of Manchester Stadium last year and in order to get in I had to borrow the club card of a season ticket holder who wasn't going to the game. The card had to be swiped at the turnstyle. No one was outside touting and there ended up only being about 33,000 in the 48,000 capacity ground. I wouldn't go over unless you've something sorted first.

I assume that's to get rid of the touts so they won't be able to sell the tickets on.

The only fans that are getting paper tickets are supporters clubs

We apply for the tickets 10 weeks before the game and they send the paper tickets to us. You have to scan it in

If you are a red / silver member you use your card to get in

As for the touts basically they have 2 seats and one tout inside the other outside. You buy the ticket with the card. Get into the ground and the other tout knows were you are sitting and gets the card back from you

Have not been over yet so dont know if touting is still prevalent

Going over to the Everton game and the Hamburg game. Red membership is suspended for new members not sure when it will be back up but worth joining it. Mind you I have been on the waiting list for more than 5 years and will only hopefully get a silver membership this year

Good luck in your search

I've been, but only via my mates' season ticket. There are probably a fair few more season ticket holders who can't go, who will give their card to a mate to hawk it outside the ground - I went to a game at Highbury last year that way. It's quite a nice way to do it actually, it gets you chatting to the ST holders around you (or at least the one who loans you his mates ST outside the ground).

I've been at the Villa game so far. Some stadium, we'll worth a visit.

I'm delighted they've done away with the paper ticketing, it cost us red members when in Highbury, so much touting going on it was unreal.

If you do happen to buy a ticket of a tout and he takes his memebership card back of you in the ground make sure you note the membership number beforehand. This way you can email Arsenal letting them know you were touted a ticket, quote the membership number on the card and they'll cancel the membership. Voila, one seat for the scumbags to tout.

PS. If you sold one at face value don't report them! Only if your ripped off.

Very true.

I was outside the ground last year on the way to one of the final
matches at Highbury, it certainly looks the business.
