All ticket/travel information thread - 2024/25 edition - Ticket Purchasing FAQ in OP. Please read it and be careful purchasing tickets

I think by the time the evening games finish (Bodo), the direct/quicker trains to London will be done. Theres a direct Euston to Piccadilly Dec 1st (Everton game), gets in 12.04, plenty of time to get to ground for 1.30 kickoff. Back 4.15. £106?

(Try Trainline or Trainsplit apps)

I know Utdheap has replied but fyi, I don’t think pictures of the tickets work.

I am also leaning towards Everton, keeping all these factors in mind. The main thing is tickets on the official website is around 199 pounds per ticket. Seems pricey. Plus the seats are at very closer to behind the goal. However, i don't trust any website since its the first time i am going, not even sure how to transfer if somebody is selling from here, as i just recently signed up to official website.
 
Ahuh, I go down to London a few times a year and if book we’ll in advance, can get quite a bit cheaper but if you’re anywhere near to the date, doubt if can get for under £90… the times I quoted are direct though (which I’d pay more for) so quite quick. About 2 1/2 hours.
I live in the Midlands and get to Manchester via our supporters coach for £20 round trip. I'd much rather travel by train, but struggle to justify the extra £60-80. All the more irritating because getting to London from where I live is only £20-30.

Avanti super fare is fantastic. Book a week or more in advance and it's £20. Highly recommend anyone looking it up.

Yeah, as I live closer (and there’s three of us), we just take it in turns to drive and park at The Lowry, but I do miss the supporters coaches
 
Great shout, I just booked a ticket there based on your recommendation, cheers for all the advice you provide in this thread, Heap!

Nice one glad to be of occasional help and not just arsey-ness :lol:

Are you sure? I'm going with a friend (who is not a member) and he is borrowing a membership.. a screenshot of the ticket should surely be enough?

The app won't allow you to take screenshots but if you take a photo of the ticket barcode from a different phone it works.

Be careful with screenshots. Not sure they work anymore - might even be disabled on the app as an option

I’m sure a photograph of the ticket works thoughh
 
Hey again helpful caf ticketers... is it right that only season ticket holders can transfer tickets via the app?
Yes but if it's someone you trust you can create an app ticketing relationship that will allow someone else to access/use your ticket.
 
Hi All, traveling first time to watch a match. I currently have no membership. I need two tickets for Everton at home and one for Arsenal away. As I am told by a few helpful members. I don’t need to buy full membership, I can just get the forwarding membership but everytime I need a ticket I need to get it, so in my case it would be 60 pounds (20 each for 3 tickets). Would it not be more beneficial to get full membership. I am just going for two weeks so won’t have any use of membership, what do you guys suggest?

Plus how the transfer of tickets will work, in both cases. Kindly advice, would really appreciate.

You don't need to get the forwarding membership. Just sign up and you will get a membership number. When someone then forwards you the tickets, there will be an additional £10 charge per ticket as you don't have forwarding membership.

Hi Yes, Membership number is there correct thanks.

Zero chance of getting tickets for Arsenal away I’m afraid. Away tickets are like gold dust and you need to be a season ticket holder to even apply. Arsenal ballot has been done now and is sold out.

If you are gonna be in London for the game, I suggest just finding a decent pub with a good atmosphere to watch.

Just to make it clear, a forwarding membership costs £20 and lasts the whole season , you don’t need to buy one every game, but as my learned friend RobinRooney says if you are just going to one game a non member can have a ticket transferred for a premium of £10.

Also next week all the return tickets will start appearing on the official website, you can only purchase these tickets with an official membership, not a forwarding membership.

These tickets will be membership prices so £10 more than if you buy off a season ticket holder on here.
 
Also , as we know screenshots don’t work as the QR code fades out, however there are a couple of tricks that do work.
You can put your phone to a future date and the QR codes will appear for the matches which makes it easier if you want to forward a ticket to someone outside of the 3 hour zone before the game.

You then have to take a picture of the QR code with another phone and forward it via WhatsApp, Telegram etc.
I have only done this with regulars and trusted friends as it’s your season tickets at risk.

The problem being if you get someone using a season ticket for the first time and are struggling to scan in requiring the assistance of a steward, all you need is an over officious jobsworth wanting to know why you are struggling to use your own ticket.
We all know that United need little excuse to confiscate your ST.

At the last fans meeting this was brought by a ‘fan’ so I’m sure it wont be long until changes are made

As already said, you have zero chance of Arsenal away in with the united fans. Your best bet would be to try a website and get one in the home end, would still be pricey but of travelling from abroad at least you get to see the game.

He'll get one, he'll just have to pay £250 or so. London aways are full of randomers.
 
Still looking for tickets if anybody is selling a pair for Everton home. Would be very much appreciated thanks.
 
Guys i have got two tickets for Everton home from the official website, Victoria Hospitality tickets (got blackfriday 25% discount), but without any sort of paid membership i was able to purchase the tickets and got the email confirmation that tickets will be shared in the app.

So i have a few quick questions.

1) Since i bought the two tickets under my name only, i will be going with a friend, hopefully that should not be a problem.
2) In the app itself in the orders, it is currently showing nothing. How long does it normally take for the tickets to start appearing in the app and where exactly?
3) Without any paid membership, i am skeptical whether any guests can purchase tickets or for hospitality tickets its not required?

Appreciate if somebody can revert soon and provide clarity.
 
Arsenal away has been notoriously shit since I first started going in about 2006.
The one time I went to Arsenal away was in the cup in 2019. 3-1 I think it was with Lukaku on the wing - the away end was really good that night.

Peak Ole at the wheel times
 
Tbf our away support has been on the decline for a few years now. Depressing the way it's gone.

And I still can't get an away ticket for love or money. I just got the Citeh one (hardly counts as away hey) after God knows how many consecutive chubbs. I took it as a sign of the good omen Amorim brings. If I get the Arsenal one come Wednesday, I might just jump into the dugout and kiss the guy the next night!

Email the club - you paid for premium tickets so the least they can do is answer your questions!

But yes for hospitality you don't need membership since you paid more than enough already

That was the second best Arsenal away end at the new ground behind the Champions League Semi.

97% of match tickets for this season have already been sold, with 5 age-related discounts available to our fans. Now that all major ticket releases have taken place we have reached capacity of discounted tickets, and any future tickets released for this game will be sold at £66 for all fans regardless of location or age.

That’s from the clubs website. Can maybe live with it if your just buying a ticket for yourself but if your taking along a couple of kids aswell it’s a bit of a joke. Me and my son (under 16) try and get to 7/8 games a season, if we want to go to anymore and are lucky enough to get two together up in the quadrants/third tier his ticket will be £66!
