Bargain! Accommodation cheap as **** there too at this time of year![]()

Just to gripe, the club now charge £5 for the privilege of transferring a Champions League ticket. Bring back paper.

I see that Arsenal are offering fans who buy a ticket for the League Cup final the option of buying a souvenir printed ticket at a cost of £5.95.Colly wrote: Mon Feb 16, 2026 9:57 pm Just to gripe, the club now charge £5 for the privilege of transferring a Champions League ticket. Bring back paper.

Re: The Match Tickets Thread
I think we got lucky, it was all paper tickets last year so presume it's just switched?

Re: The Match Tickets Thread
Yes, opens at 10am and that's when you're allocated your place in the queue so I tend to log in about 10 minutes before. I've logged in on both laptop and phone and there can be a great variation in the queue numbers.Chappy wrote: Wed Feb 18, 2026 12:55 pmSame. Will try and get on it - is it 10am?

Re: The Match Tickets Thread
I'm a bit short of funds so waiting (hoping) for Barcelona at home...
I'm in Edinburgh when the Sunderland game is on, did consider Man City in the FA Cup as probably more chance of a ticket but if I did that I couldn't afford to possibly do a CL game.

I've got tickets for Qarabag, Everton and Man U this week so, for my marriages' sake, might give Man City a miss as Chelsea/Barcelona is the following midweek.
Gutted that I missed out on Sunderland but, as I say, you never know when one will pop up so I'll keep trying.

Unsuccessful in the Barcelona ballot (shock
).
Lost count of how many I’ve failed in now, but it’s a 0% success rate and won’t be bothering buying a membership next year.

Re: The Match Tickets Thread
Yeah I'm not bothering either. Maybe I'll renew if the stadium capacity increases or they build a new one.bodacious benny wrote: Tue Mar 03, 2026 10:42 pm Unsuccessful in the Barcelona ballot (shock).
