Im also looking for 2 together. Will be visiting from Sweden with my son first time as a birthday present. Got lost in this ticket maze and now I’m hoping you can help me. Doesn’t need to be the cheapest ones since I would like it to be remembered as a nice father/son trip. Unfortunately he is a bit large to fit in my lap.
Unfortunately you've chosen a huge game to be your very first one at City, a clash between the top 2 teams in the biggest football league in the world, did you really expect to just get 2 tickets easily, and at face value? Even for local fans or long-time attendees there is a requirment to have attended a minimum number of 5 home games in 2 seasons, and even with those qualification criteria there were 60,000 in the online queue to buy.
So you have no chance, and nobody is just going to hand you 2 Arsenal tickets for your first ever game. Only season ticket holders can transfer (not matchday buyers), and they will alway have a more deserving person to give to. If anyone is offering you 2 tickets to that game, at any kind of reasonable cost, you are almost certainly being scammed, particularly if via Facebook or Twitter.
You have 3 options i think;
1. Buy club off-site hospitality packages, still available, £560 adults and £370 for U 12s. so £930 in total (with a buffet of some kind).
2. Buy from a reseller like livefootballtickets. Currently charging about £585 for 2 seats in the South Stand. (I'm not promoting those parasites, but they seem to have genuine tickets and good reviews, i 've no idea where they get the tickets from, but they seem genuine, if extortionate)
3. Lastly and this is the
BEST OPTION, come to a
less glamorous game. If your kid is a real City fan he'll be happy see the stadium and players etc. More tickets for Ipswich at home came on sale last week on the official site, £48 adults and £20 for Under 18s. So come to lesser game, Brentford, Fulham, Ipswich, Southampton, Leicester, Brighton, Palace, Woves, Forest, loads of options.
To buy from the club you'll need a matchday membership £35 adult, £20 kids.
For the lesser games you'll get loads of offer on here from ST holders at face value or lower, you'd just need a membership number (free), to recieve the transfer.
Sorry for the long post, but as this game approaches, there will be loads of people appearing here with new acounts, only a few posts, with a "genuine" story looking for Arsenal tickets.
It's not gonna happen. But you will get sorted easily for the minor games at FV.
If you're new to City, and want tickets to Arsenal, Liverpool, United or UCL QF or SF, then you pay the online touts, or you pay the club for hospitality.
