ok guys, once the draw for next season is out im heading over for a few games and we have quite a few travellers here, i'm hopeful someone knows the process.
I am very keen for a chelsea game and arsenal game, do i simply get in contact with the club for tickets or is there a sure fire way to get it done?

I would probably go thru the club but I have used this site as well which has been good.

For Chelsea though you will have to sign up as a member to buy tickets on the site though.

I bought QPR v Aston Villa tickets earlier this season for £58 for two. Obviously Chelsea and other bigger clubs will be far more expensive.

I was in UK for a week a couple of years ago and managed to get tickets. I was keen to catch a Chelsea game while there but the only fixture was Wigan vs Chelsea. I wasn't confident in getting tickets being an away game but was successful anyway.

First I looked at buying away tickets when released to the public but you could only buy single seats that way. So the only option was to sign up myself and my wife as members (only cost about 20 pounds each I think) then we were able to buy seats together, the tickets themselves were only like 24 pounds each or something. Pricey with the memberships included but a damn site cheaper than tickets at Stamford Bridge, and probably cheaper than the touts. Train tickets were the most expensive thing cost 60 pounds each return.

Totally worth it though, stood in the away end with thousands of chelsea fans and watch us pound Wigan in the ass 6-0. Fans sang all the way back to Euston station in London (and then some).

havnt seen any games in the UK, but from experience only go through the club websites or buy them in person.

Some travel agents will book tickets for you but most wont touch it with a ten foot pole

Yeah when the fixture is released and you know when you'll be there, just perhaps call the club for advice. They were very helpful with me and even held the tickets at the front office for me to collect (as I was travelling around Europe at the time and couldn't have them posted).

I went to City v Everton in Manchester last year, had to join up to City as a member (through their website, totally free) then booked the tickets by calling the club directly. Was all pretty straight forward after initially seeming a bit complicated, the club was really helpful in helping organise it

I'm more than happy to sign myself and the missus up as chelsea members if it makes it easier, i have a mate living in london and an arsenal member so that makes life easier. Going to try get a bundesliga game also if i can get away with it, conveniently it's oktoberfest whilst im in munich :boogie:

:boogie: indeed! Whatever you've heard about Oktoberfest is a lie. IMO no matter how much it was talked up to me, it was far better! Have a blast! I'll be there third year running! :boogie:
