As HP88 says, legit way no doubt, but sounds all the risk on you! Why couldn't he have just sent you the tickets in the post? I know, because that'd be the same risk on him!
Yeah long story that one. I managed to get tickets from someone else in the end anyway, wasn't really keen on risking it.

Glad you got sored.

Was interesting though to read. As a southern season ticket holder who goes to perhaps 6-8 games a year, and spends the rest of the season meticulously planning who is getting the ticket/how to send/receive it etc, it did make me wonder if I could just get whoever to pick up at the ticket office each game...
but probably sounds more fiddly that way

One spare for Spurs including return train ticket from London Euston 85 quid

I bought a pair for me and my gf but she is not going now. I am picking the tickets up at Euston at 7:50am.

Would love a pair of Liverpool tickets. My dad's a Liverpool fan and this would be an epic early birthday gift.

Looking for four tickets for the West Brom home game on the 2nd of May 2015. I am even if the four seats are not together, we can sit separately.
Waiting for responses from @Sultan and @londonredmaniac on PM and email. I hope you guys respond soon :-)
Can anyone else help too? I need four hence asking multiple people.

I will be staying in Manchester from 1st of May to 3rd of May.
I saw a good Airbnb posting for a flat that is a 5 minute walk from Salford crescent. It's a 2 bedroom flat(we are four people) and for 2 nights, it will cost us 182 pounds. Does it sound good?
the hotels close to OT and either not available or too expensive for that weekend?
Kindly feel free to PM me about this and the match tickets above :-).
Thanks

Why can I never get tickets for the derby in the ballot? 4 years in a row I've had that sorry text.

Granted, I've missed some pretty woeful performances and results against them but I've had tickets for Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal without any issues for the last few seasons.

I know I'm late but is there any chance to get 3 tickets for the City game? Willing to pay up to £150 each ticket although it's probably not enough.

I would fear for you around touts I really would. You've basically set the starting price at £150 :lol:

I'm almost tempted to rinse you myself :smirk:
However, this is a face value thread pal...not the done thing.

You think I'd just go there and buy the first and best ticket I can get for £150? I'm not necessarily looking for people here who can sell me tickets (or try to). I'm looking for tips on where to go etc, and if there are any tickets at all for that price... Clearly there isn't so ignore me.

The year we beat them 2-0 with Ronaldo and Tevez goals, I quite ridiculously and naively, drove the 3hours up to OT without a ticket. What a game to do that ticketless for the first time for!
I remember getting quoted £100 the second I got off the tram, which then magic-ed down to £60 within 5mins.

Then a right old mess realising I'd bought a child ticket, worrying the life out of a tout making a loud scene, getting £10 extra then I'd paid back, and eventually getting in for £50 for a £36 face value ticket.

I doubt that sort of result is possible these days, as needless to say the rivalry has exploded.

ps apologies for the long post, got carried away there

I think there are too many scammers out there today. I found a guy selling four tickets for £70 each for the City game on craigslist, obviously fake. I know many people who have been scammed. I bought black market tickets once, for the United v Real Madrid game in CL 2013. Paid £400, only reason I dared to pay that much was because it was a mate of my brother-in-law who sold the ticket so I knew it was legit.

£200 a ticket! Wow. Probably cheap for non official tickets.

I think all the touts got wise and snapped up tonnes of mini season tickets, and made their money back from 1 game.

Back in 2011 I got a last 6 games of the season "season ticket", but this year season tickets were sold out by the summer.

When will the exact date and times for the May matches(especially the West Brom) be announced?
awaiting these myself... seem quite late to announce them as we're at the end of March now. Every other month is done a lot quicker.

However, last year I believe they were out on the Friday...

Which Friday?
I am making a trip from India to watch the match. I think I can adjust my plans to accommodate any changes, but still would rather know in advance.

Still looking a single ticket for Saturday. Anyone.

I've helped a few guys on here over the last few seasons, would be nice to have it returned.

the first Friday in April last year was when the May TV game moves came out.

Hopefully they are imminent now...
