ronnyg28 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Hi everyone, I am coming to london with 2 mates in december and I was wondering what are the chances of getting 3 tickets for the chelsea - man u game that go on general sale. Will there be any tickets that go on general sale or is it a no hoper. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ronnyg28

Ok so no hope for general sale. With it being a big match so close to christmas, is there any chance members or ST holders would be selling and if they were, would they be whacking much of a profit onto it and where would you be able to find members and STH selling these besides EBay and such. Sorry for all the questions, appreciate the help. Regards, Ronnyg28

ronnyg28 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 become a trueblue member then join viago you might get lucky. Thanks bluegraham, so even if i become a trueblue member, there is still no guarantee i can get a ticket? or do i just have to be online when they go on release to members and be one of the first to try and buy them?
geezer Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks bluegraham, so even if i become a trueblue member, there is still no guarantee i can get a ticket? or do i just have to be online when they go on release to members and be one of the first to try and buy them? Such is the magnitude of the game that even for members they will only go on sale via a points system, in other words the more points you have ammassed the more likely you'll be in with a chance. Sadly in your case this will mean little to no chance. Two most likely opportunities for you are: 1 - Corporate ticket - this will cost as it includes match day hospitality plus you will need to know someone well enough at any company hosting for this match 2 - My pet hate, the parasites that are ticket touts. They will be there in abundance between Fulham Broadway and the ground. However, beware, even if you got one from these parasites there's no guarantee its not a fake.

No. I guess the amount of loyality points required would be around 30. Viagogo could be an option but you have to count yourself lucky if you get a single ticket let alone 3. This is one of the most wanted game, remember. I wouldn´t recommend you to mess with these tickets. Especially if this is your only match this year so you are not able to get enough loyality points as well. You should try the club hospitality packages. You are paying aorund £200 each but you´ll get a whole day covered. Certainly better than paying £200 to a fking tout. And safer as well. TrueBlue membership is just a waste of money in this case and if you are not planning to visit London later this season again, I wouldn´t but it:) Good luck!
ronnyg28 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks guys for all your replies. Don't worry, I hate touts and will not touch their tickets with a bargepole. Ok so hospitality is an option, do I sign up to be a trueblue to get these ticket or what is the system to get them. I appreciate all your help. Regards, Ronnyg28

disillusion Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 trueblue is not a waste of money your supporting the club. i will have my ticket on my trueblue card for the man utd game. You can then just as easily donate the money to Ashley COle for example, eh?:D I mean why do you need a true blue tickect memebership when you know that you are only coming over for the Manu game and the likelyhood of getting the normal ticket via club is very close to zero?

Regards, Ronnyg28 You don't have to be a member to buy hospitality tickets. See chelseafc.com - tickets - hospitality for more information. Probably the only way to get tickets to this game if you want 3 tickets as there will be a knuckle fight on Viagogo to get the few tickets on sale and normal tickets to members will go on loyalty points.

bluegraham Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 hospitality tickets id prefer the shed end upper anyday.hospitality aint what football is all about,im not sure if you can even wear your jersey in hospitality. load of ballacks
ronnyg28 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 I had a look at the hospitality, tickets are over 600 pounds!! I'd say my only chance is having a go off viagogo and hope for the best. Other than that, I'd say I will be watching in a pub in London.....closest I will get. :) Thanks for all the help.
superdan Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Best to get occasional or one off tickets for smaller games One other option is to join an overseas supporters club where you live - they often have for big games but no idea how it works
mad_mac Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 You just may get very lucky and find a member selling on match day outside the ground. I managed this once. Fella always came to the game with his son, but his son was off watching some Rugby match instead!! So he was standing outside the Fulham Broadway, and said "Anyone need a ticket face Value?" I took it, and sent the wife to the movies. Something I still haven't lived down! however, the chances of that are slim, and the chances of that for you and two mates...even slimmer! I'd try Viagogo, or at a last resort touts but 10 minutes after the game has started
bluegraham Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Best to get occasional or one off tickets for smaller games One other option is to join an overseas supporters club where you live - they often have for big games but no idea how it works im on my supporters club and i will get a tictet for the utd game that om sure of
disillusion Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) what about awaydays tickets? Depends on the game. Away against ManU, Arsenal will be sold on loyality points basis. Others should be available for any membership owner but there are many games when there is a "first come first served" principle and the tickets will go within 10-20 minutes.

superdan Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 It is not hard to get tickets for stamford bridge if you are happy to watch us demolish smaller teams - you always need to be a member to get away tickets.and it is only easy to get them for games against small clubs outside of London - any match in or near London will sell out almost as soon as tickets go on sale -

MHL_blue Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 as in are they easy to get ect. You have to be a member to buy away tickets. Away matches outside London are usually easy to get a hold of bar United and Liverpool away. Blackburn away is this Saturday and still not sold out..
OLE Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 cheers everyone coming over in march/aprill till seasons end. will just save a bit more for tickets. but united away i dont care how much i pay for tickets i will be there. also found out that i can go on the dole in the uk (dad lived in ladbroke grove) so looks like all uk tax payers will be helping me out :)
