maxxi Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 At least at WH you can pay less if it's not a 'top team' (eg ?20+ for Stoke but ?49+ for Chelski) but as you're always seeing a 'top team' at OT maybe that doesn't apply - re getting the tickets surely the best way is to become a member and buy direct?ETA: just checked that out of curiosity and it's ?32 just to join but they don't seem to sell matchday tickets unless you ARE a member (or maybe there are none left by the time non-members are eligible) so if you're only going once then a 'deal' with a ticket agent (as long as it's less than ?32* over the seat price) looks like your best bet.*Unless members are allowed to buy two - then it's only ?16/tkt over the odds of course.

???? Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I found my old voucher season ticket book for 89/90 the other day. Ninety quid....for the season. I think we were in the 2nd division (old money) then tho Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/506/#findComment-589902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxi Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Around that time I think it was ?5.50/game for the South Bank - with long queues for the metal detectors outside:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/506/#findComment-589904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laddy Muck Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Maxxi. I did join as a member last season, but there was little available and when I did find something I realised that I could only buy the one ticket (booooo) - something I hadn't realised till the last second, so I haven't renewed my membership this year. However, thanks for your input; am especially grateful for the maths and will look into your tips.

red devil Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 LM, if you wanted just one ticket and you weren't bothered where you sat, I'd suggest buying from a tout outside the ground on match day. Getting two tickets side by side is a bit hit and miss though. You could try one of the ticket exchange websites, there used to be an official MUFC backed one, but it was scrapped.Lots on the web... http://redmancunian.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=614&p=965#p965You could also try contacting one of the London/South East based supporters clubs to see if they have spare tickets.Might also be worth checking the Manchester Evening News website, may pay to place an advert...

Annasfield Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Don't pay a tout. Thats everything that is wrong with the modern game "not minding" paying over the odds and comparing it to theatre/Opera.It's not difficult to find tickets, all you had to do was look on the website. The West Ham game is on general sale so you don't need to be a member by the looks of it.https://www.eticketing.co.uk/muticketsandmembership/default.aspx?__utma=1.1545873365.1352139371.1352139371.1352139371.1&__utmb=1.4.9.1352139375394&__utmc=1&__utmx=-&__utmz=1.1352139371.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=-&__utmk=165870398 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/506/#findComment-589957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Touts have been around forever.LM, before you rush and buy tickets for the West Ham game, remember it's a mid-week fixture, probably why they are available to non-members...

red devil Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The Old Trafford DJ was clearly in mischievous mood as Robin van Persie ran out to warm up before Saturday?s meeting with his former club. As Arsenal fans heckled an old flame, the DJ put on Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn?t?ve). :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/506/#findComment-589971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I appreciate your input (especially as you don't post as much as you used to).Thanks to anyone else I have missed and to those who emailed me privately. It doesn't seem such a minefield now, and I feel sure I shall have something in the next few days. Can't wait!

Otta Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Couple of tweets on bbc website that made me chuckle. "Scotland should try and appoint Arsene Wenger! That seems to be only way forward for the Gunners!"Andrew Edwards on Twitter: "Scotland sighs a breath of relief as McLeish distances himself from national team job, as managerless clubs await with fear."Did anyone watch 8 out of 10 cats last night? They mentioned the Chelsea / Clattengurg situation and I think it's fair to say that they were not really buying Chelsea's story!

Mick Mac Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have to backtrack here. I now don't buy it either.Now that I know that Mikel did not hear the alleged racist comment himself, I dont think they should have pursued it. I was inclined to believe it originally as Mikel was obviously in deep dialogue directly with the referee and if something was said then he would have been able to hear it clearly. And an accusation on that basis I would ahve believed. When I hear it was based on two people who the referee was not speaking to at the time, it became clear that there was scope for something being mis heard, and hence it all looks fabricated.

red devil Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Initial reports said that Ramires and Luiz both heard it and told Mikel after the match had finished (which begs the question why they didn't they say something at the time), and now they reckon only Ramires heard it and asked Luiz to translate :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/506/#findComment-590166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
