Having just received the bombshell that is the reduced allocation to supporters' clubs, I'm on here begging for reference numbers for Arsenal. I know the ticket details aren't up on the club site yet, but if anyone knows they won't be able to make the Emirates but wants to donate their reference number, please let me know. I'm after a couple, to be honest.
Thanks very much!!!

I feed you a line and after 3 days that's the best anyone can come up with? Standards on here are slipping....
Any road up, thanks for the responses from those of you offering their ref numbers - I'll PM each of you over the next day or so. I should be sorted now for the refs/tickets now though.
I should add that this is probably not the last time I'll be on here begging for scraps this season.
Cheers everyone!
-
I'm on the beg for a reference for the Arsenal game if anyone has got a spare one. I found myself in the same position as Chico above *sadface*
Cheers!
-
Have we taken the full allocation?
-
Yes we have.
-
I came here looking for places to stay and things to do in and around Mykonos. Christ, football football bloody football.
-
Are you a Kingston Lions member by any chance? They've cut our allocation from 20 to 6 this season!
If anyone has a spare booking reference for this game I could borrow I'd be eternally grateful.
-
Having just received the bombshell that is the reduced allocation to supporters' clubs,
Did the club give a reason for the reduction ?
-

Yep, the Kingston Lions have been decimated.
Not sure why, Kingthing does all the hard work in terms of sorting out tickets. He'll be able to tell you why. It's going to be a tough season for getting tickets.
edit - we must have met, SW9 Villa?
-
Having just received the bombshell that is the reduced allocation to supporters' clubs,
Did the club give a reason for the reduction ?
Probably due to the furore that occurred when the Wigan tickets sold out in minutes and quite a few branches missed out.

We missed out on Wigan tickets as well. Ended up having to pay a whopping 30 quid each to get them from an "alternative source".

I don't think we have mate. I only joined last season and not been to any meet-ups.

After a reference for this for a mate who's a non season ticket holder, would be much appreciated

Do you not think that joining this site for the specific purpose of asking for a ticket, when we've been here for years and you've never bothered with us before, might be considered a bit cheeky?

Have you got one yet Chico?

I have, cheers chap!

Hello,
Does anyone know if there are likely to be any tickets left on sale to non season ticket holders, with a booking history.
(pure guesswork, of course)
thanks, in advance, Ian
-
I would be very surprised in it got down to non season ticket holders.
-
I have a reference number if any regular users need one?
-
Still no allocation info on the OS, I wonder if it's a case of "see how many you sell" as it's first game of the season?
-
I'd imagine with it being first game and 3pm we've taken the full 3k.
-

Yep, especially as London games go, the ticket price is fairly reasonable
-
Arsenal tickets all sold out this morning.
-
Finally found the allocation.
Allocation: 2,900
-
After 1,2 or 3 tickets for arsenal of anyone can help
I have helped a few out on here in the past with tickets so nor jumping on the bangwagon
Got an extra 3 season tickets but. as stated it sold out before it got to season ticket holders
Cheers in advance
-
Guess I'll have to sit in the home end for this one again.
Might not be a bad thing, last two seasons been in the away end and we've lost both whereas was undercover in the home end from 2007-11 and we won twice and drew one of the four games.
-
I've massively messed up by not arranging a ticket for this.
If anyone knows someone who can no longer make the game, please let me know - even if you only find out at short notice. i am looking for 1 ticket.
thanks, in advance. Ian
-
Likewise, have asked before and will ask again no doubt...but after a ticket for myself, will also be able to go at short notice. (disappointed but not surprised didn't go beyond (or even get to!) STs).
I've been trying to get through the barrier that is the lions clubs websites for ages, sorry to hear their allocations reduced, I have to confess it is/was the chief motivation for joining one, having not been to arsenal away since Highbury. I used to live right next to it and usually saw them more often (against villa often home & away) than all the gooners I worked with in East London...
SoccerHQ do the home tix usually go on sale to non-members ?
Paying £50+ adds to my pessimism about going to Chelsea, but more achievable I guess!
-
I think I might get lynched if I put this on the HD bit of the site but do us London based Villa fans actually meet in real life as opposed to on the internet? It's bad enough living most of my love life via the internet without football.
I'm keen to get to some games this year, and have previously travelled solo, however if there are people going to the pub/catching trains together then I'd be keen to join in.

The Kingston Lions have good meet ups, but after the reduction in ticket allocation I don't know if as many will be able to get tickets from other sources now. I think a few of us are meeting up somewhere before the Arsenal game if you have a ticket?
The legendary meet up was in the Marylebone Tup in about 2008, when over 20 of us from H&V were in the back room to see us draw 2-2 with Liverpool on the telly. Superb night that was.

I looked on the London Lions thing on H&V, but the most recent posts were years old. If/when such meet ups take place then it'd be cool to know (where to look). I might pop up to Islington for the Arsenal game anyway as I used to live up there and there are loads of pubs that need a re-visit.
Are the Kingston Lions on the list of sub folders on here? (nae dramas, I'll check after sending this)

They're an official lions club, Dante, look on the official site. Might see you for the Arsenal game then!

that is ready for a revival, err, last post was nearly a year ago, but few of us are on there.

There was a much bigger lovely proper literary lions event way way back - hmmm i just googled...it was 2001 (!!) with Simon Inglis and Richard Whitehead where i collected addresses and set up a yahoo list that was superseded by the London thing on here. I'm afraid multiple commitments have meant i rarely meet up, but have met some great and very generous folk here...
[edit: sorry saw the replies already...guess it'd still be good to get that bit of this site going again as beyond the official lions clubs which I've had a mare trying to join, it's the most likely place new folk would look?]

I chaired it Chico - North Star on Finchley Road

That's the one.
Didn't realise that was you, Jon. I think I went there with Pat MacMahon and Robbo1874.

Hi all
Am also on the beg for (if possible) two reference numbers for the Arse.
London games always a good chance for me and Mrs djbone to have a rare day out on our own. Big thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.
Wotcha Chico ;)

I'm afraid it's already sold out, but maybe I should start a thread begging for reference numbers for next year! Good luck to those also in need... And those going :)
-
Cheers chap, shouldve checked and asked earlier I guess. Was also looking at chelse but just seen the prices, jeez
-
Has anyone received their Arse Tick yet ?
-
i'm on the look out for one adult ticket too. thanks
-
Has anyone received their Arse Tick yet ?
Nope, not received mine as yet.

They're in the post apparently, but mine hasn't arrived yet

Ain't got mine yet either. :-(
-
Mine of come today.......and i have one spare.!!!!!
PM me anyone who is interested
-
PM sent to you, PGW.
-
I'm bumping this thread in hope (sorry). If anyone else has a spare, please let me know. I live in North London, so even a last minute spare would work for me.
thanks, in advance
Ian
-
Bugger missed that. ANYONE else got a spare ?
-
Same here! Interested in any spare going...

Has anyone in the away scheme got their tickets yet? I was told three days ago that mine had been posted but it has still not arrived. I have just spoken to the ticket office and been told that none of the away scheme have been sent out yet and the information I was wrong i.e. because I am in the away scheme the system shows my ticket as processed even though it might not have been (think some training is required!).
Normally I wouldn't be too bothered but had exactly the same issues with the Wigan game last season and had to pick a ticket up at Wigan only to get in the ground and find the seat occupied by another person with exactly the same ticket as me (other away scheme members).
If any other away scheme members have got their tickets yet I would be grateful if you could let me know as I don't want a repeat performance. Thanks in advance.

Not in the away scheme but ordered mine years ago and not received it yet.
-
My ticket arrived yesterday (non Away Scheme) but I know other people that haven't had their's yet
-
I'm in the away scheme but my ticket hadn't arrived by today so I phoned the ticket office to say I'd pick it up in person this afternoon before the game. They told me it had been posted this morning

Does the TO put all the Away Scheme people together in one block ?

I assume so
I don't think they do, generally they seem to spread the tickets around subject to size of allocation etc. The ticket office does seem to be slipping back into it's old ways recently, the people that I have spoken to this week do not seem to have any interest or understanding as to why going to an away game without a ticket might be a problem. They have clearly given frank and me completely different information as I was told (at 11.30) that no away scheme tickets would be posted until Monday.
-

I assume so
Generally, yes. We are normally sat with the same group of people.

Have yours arrived yet Pauline?
-
No Frank, they haven't. Jon phoned VP and they said that Arsenal had been late sending them out.
-
Mine hasn't arrived yet. Although that may be because I haven't bought one. Hope that helps.

Great, PWS, that helps enormously.
-
It's what i'm here for. Protect and serve.
-
No Frank, they haven't. Jon phoned VP and they said that Arsenal had been late sending them out.
That doesn't explain why those not in the away scheme have already got theirs!
-
I am not in the away scheme and still waiting.

Jon has just told me that someone we know, not in the away scheme, has received theirs. No idea what the problem is.

I am not in the away scheme but still not received my ticket.

Particularly annoying because I'm working abroad this week and have passed on my ticket to a friend. Now he'll have to collect a duplicate from the Emirates on the day.
-
No tics so far.
-
Maybe the club has finally realised that "The Away Scheme" is an organised gang of hooligans and decided to deny them tickets.
This is why I've yet to meet up with Villajk & DCF, they're always a couple of streets away scrapping with members for the local firm
-
Haha. Yeah, we're really hardcore, us. Bovver boots polished ready for Saturday. Be afraid Arse fans, be very afraid.
-
Got ours. Cheers Deasy92!!!
-
Mine haven't arrived yet either
-
Our tickets have finally arrived.
-
Looking for one spare. I'm in North London so can meet on the day no problem. PM me if you have a spare available.

Mine have come too. Row 8!

Arrived home just now eagerly checked the post and still no envelope from VP. A phone call to TO first thing tomorrow is required I think.

By the way, when I lived near the ground there were a few pubs on blackstock road which used to show the matches live on TV.

As earlier in the thread, still on the look out for one or more tickets, will maybe head to the Emirates in the hope of coming across one, any spares obviously happy to be PM'd, however late in the day! cheers Jim
-
Could do with 1 or 2 spares too. However late in the day!
-
Still ain't got mine yet!
Just phoned ticket office and apparently it was posted on Monday.
(problem due to Arse sending them late, allegedly)
-
Still after one
-
Just got home. Mine's here!
Row 17 Lower Tier
-
My brother's mate has just pulled out so there's 1 spare ticket for the Villa end.
PM me and I'll send you his number for arrangements - probably to pick up from outside the ground around an hour before kickoff
Price is face value (£35)
