Post by: B90 villain on January 30, 2013, 10:14:29 PM
Hi could someone please tell me If you can buy coach tickets for away games online if you have just got a home booking history not an away one. Cheers

I have never heard of needing any sort of reference or booking history to book coach tickets. Even if there was a requirement, you could book with Premier or one of the other coaches going. They would be glad of the business.

We only took that number last season. Basically the club gets two allocations, that one or the full 3k.

We haven't taken any extra allocations for the last couple of seasons at least.  Any left over tickets from the extra allocation cannot be sent back but have to be paid for.

yep. Arsenal categorise their games, like most clubs seem to.

One of the benefits of being so absolutely shit is that we get relatively reasonable away ticket prices......

Those are Cat. B prices.

Think Stoke were Cat. C last week and only paid 25 quid!

Nope, 1400/2000/2900. We took 2000 last season.

May 2011: 2900
Jan 2012: 5250
March 2012: 2000

And the full 2900 every season prior to 2011 back until the opening of the stadium.

I wouldn't say that. £40-45 at QPR, Albion were charged £30-£35. £35 at Southampton, Sunderland were charged £30. £39 at West Ham, Stoke were charged £20. £39 at Albion, Everton were charged £25. We'll be charged £45 at Norwich, as with last season. Wigan are charged £20, and Sunderland were charged £35. We were charged £26 at Newcastle, Albion were charged a mere £15. We were charged £37-£41 at Spurs on a Sunday, Stoke were charged £32-£37 and so were Albion for the first game of the season at WHL. Albion, Sunderland and Southampton were all charged £25.50 at the Emirates, we're being charged £35.50. We're still being charged the prices of a top eight club. Hardly seems fair. Although categorising games is and always has been bollocks.

Those are Cat. B prices.

Bizarrely Stoke were Cat B and were charged the same as us: £35.50. They were protesting in the away end at that price.

Arsenal got bad press for the £62 tickets but for us at least they're one of the more reasonably priced London aways. Chelsea £55, QPR £45, Spurs £41, Fulham £35...

I'd also like to join the begging queue for a spare please.

Still looking for a spare for Arsenal if anyone looking to sell.

Question for any ticket office bods. If the "executive" coach tickets fail to sell out, do they put unsold match tickets back on sale?
