Zathras 234 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Gonna be in the UK for the first time in twenty years this November. My kids desperately want to see a match at SJP. What's the best way to go about trying to get three tickets to the Chelsea match on 25 November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras 234 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Damn. Stinks that that's the way it is now, but I suppose it's what happens when the team is going well. Since it's a once every decade or two trip, I might have to fork out the big money for it, but sitting in corporate hospitality seems like a waste of a trip. It's the atmosphere that matters. Is there no secondary market for (criminally inflated) tickets? Edited August 17, 2023 by Zathras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I want any part of this shite. https://www.nufc.com/ If you get tugged you’re better off going back to the pub if you’ve got someone else’s ticket but aye, am not sure this is for me anymore. Hoping we win the league and champions league this season so I can at least walk away happy… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3546 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Those hospitality packages dont sit you in the main stands? You have to watch from one of those terrible glass boxes? If so that sucks, as seems like that will be the main horribly expensive option for visiting fans. Never been to England but general experience across the world is they're not anywhear near fun as the main stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all the food and booze which goes down in the box or corporate area 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13895 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I’ve been in “The Barracks” before as my cousin comes over from USA so prefers to get the corporate stuff rather than a regular match ticket. So we’re doing that again for the Fulham game in December, purchased well in advance. You can’t really gamble on getting tickets when you’re coming that far. He did say the rest of the corporate sections have practically doubled in price for this season though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the site to check out the details purely out of curiosity Barracks seems like the viable option but mostly sold out as KD said. The new one they're calling Wings priced at 400 quid ffs?

Howmanheyman 27347 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 A few people with a lot of loyalty points seem to be flapping on twitter. Why? Surely they'll be ok if everything is above board? (Obviously wouldn't be happy if I had a legit ticket being pulled but apart from that?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
