looking for a home game for either Tottenham, Chelsea, or Arsenal. How would one go about securing tickets for one of these teams? I know the '23/'24 season hasn't been released, but I am hoping for an interesting matchup for one of these teams and will be looking for 5 tickets together. Just wondering how I can get legit tickets.

I joined the Everton club, paid like $35, and got tix pretty easily to Tottenham match. That’ll be your best bet. Wait til schedule comes out, pick your home team, and go that route.

I was able to secure a ticket to a West Ham match fairly easily. Was a great time.

Main thing for all clubs is that you have to join the “Club” to purchase tickets.

If your first three don’t work out, you should try The Hammers ( I was smart enough not to wear my Man City shirt )

Per ticket holder? Yikes. Might need to go solo and send the wife on a Victoria’s Secret shopping spree.

Cheaper to just get 5 memberships than that

Do NOT use a ticket website like StubHub (might be called something different like gogotickets or anything like that). I’ve heard countless stories about fake tix. Your absolute best bet is to get in touch with the concierge at your hotel and ask them to get you some. If you want to join a membership that’s also another way, it’s probably cheaper but more leg work.

False

Stub Hub is legit partners for some clubs. You still need a membership to the club to get the tickets you purchased transferred to you

viagogo is also a legit sit that has also teamed up with clubs. They have primarily used them to sell club seats. I have used them for United multiple times when not every one I was with had a membership

There are a boatload of sites but the most notorious is livefootball tickets

Often these sites don’t have the tickets on hand(unless there is a surplus) once you buy them, they go out and try and find tickets for you. Often at an inflated price and if you are caught entering the ground with them you might be denied entry if those tickets have been flagged.

Why do you keep giving this advice? It isn’t the best bet

Often those tickets are going to be through the roof expensive. And a majority of hotels in London, Manchester and Liverpool do not have the ability to provide such a service. Unless you are staying at a high end London hotel you will not be able to get tickets through the hotel.

The best bet will always be through the club website either with a membership or some type of package they offer.

Been doing it every year for about 20 years now. Just giving my advice. 2 months ago we got scammed on an Arsenal ticket from viagogo so I wouldn’t use them.

Yea but your going to Chelsea which already isn’t cheap and probably staying in affluent hotels if you can afford to do this trip every year

Most people don’t have that luxury

Did viagogo refund you at least? unfortunately fake tickets can happen anywhere now

We even have shite bags even in our United ticket groups who scam people

Nah I have a contact at a hotel I stayed at a few times and he gets us tickets to whatever matches. £50 to £200 usually unless nothing is available except club level stuff. Getting customer service these days is more trouble than getting the money back honestly, just watched it in a pub and had a good time anyways.

Become a member and try your luck or just go to the teams website and they will list what websites/partners they are contracted with.

For Arsenal, we paid the club membership fee and managed to score some club level tickets for the price that the aftermarket sites were charging for the bad tickets. The cheaper ones would pop up on occasion, but you had to be really quick with the checkout.

I would basically check once an hour for a few days until seats finally popped up

This is why you become a member. My ticket went on my member's card. Had no physical ticket.
