A little Help Please Regarding Memberships!

[RammiXP]

Hi there, I hope someone can give me a little advice regarding the Membership policy at Arsenal, now that i have a decent job and tha ability to fund watching the gunners a little bit more, i intend to get a membership so i can get tickets.

My main question are really these:

Is obtaining a Ticket easy as a red member?

Is it true you can only get 1 ticket per membership, if yes i suppose if i wanted the misses to come i need a membership for her?

And finally does having a membership automatically put me on the waiting list for a seaon ticket??

Thanks guys in advance for any responses.

Tickets for red members only go on sale after they have been offered to silver and gold members so it's not fantastically easy, having said that the newcastle, fulham, everton and birmingham matches have all gone on sale to red members. You're not likely to be able to get tickets to an Arsenal vs Chelsea or Man Utd match basically but will have a fair chance to get tickets for matches against crapper teams

You only get one ticket per membership number, so you would need a membership number for the missus and you can buy the tickets together so you get seats together with the seperate numbers.

You have to pay an extra £15 a year (I think, poor memory) to get on the waiting list for a season ticket, it's not automatic, and it's a very long wait.

It's worthwhile and a relatively easy way to get tickets, you'll also be able to after a few years get silver member status which again will make buying tickets easier.

Adding on to Seed's post.

As a Red Member, you are on the waiting list to become a Silver Member. Silver Members' have the opportunity to purchase tickets two months prior to kick-off (home games). Red Members are offered tickets if they're not already sold out to Silver Members after 1 calender month. The waiting time to get promoted to a Silver Member if you join now, is around 6-10 years I guess.

Wouldn't the waiting list get much smaller considering how we're moving into Emirates next year?

Even though there's going to be an increase in capacity, there's not going to be wholesale promotions next summer. I'd guess around 5000-10000 Red Members are going to be promoted.

How many season ticket holders are there currently?

 

[Spike]

I think half the seats at Highbury are filled with season ticket holders.

Not sure though.

 

[Allyboy]

Think there are 23-24,000 season ticket holders.

Yeah if you got to the arsenal website, and click on the ticket information for each matches, there is a link to buy them online from ticketmaster. You just have to put your membership number in and surname.

Do you have to be a member to get tickets?

I really wanna go to highbury this season but you know i'm only 15, not much money. £30 for the membership plus the seat. Bit pricey :shock:
