Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[Mourne Red]

Any of you who post here have an Arsenal membership bership and have tried to get tickets under this new ballot system. I'm a silver and there's no doubt that silver membership is being slowly eroded.

I'm a red memeber - applied for 10 games last year didn't get a ticket for one of them. Ticket system was a lot better before this balot came in

I applied 5 times last year and got tickets for three of them. Think I was fairly lucky. Ended up reselling one of them as couldn't go.

Did you apply for a single ticket each time or with another silver for 2 tickets ?

[ONeill]

First 2 times, it was a single ticket for Silver, as the lad is Red. We were fortunate getting another ticket on the exchange. Once, it was sitting in the airport the morning of the flight.

Then they changed the rules because many complained that Silvers couldn't apply for 2 if the other was a Red. So now Silvers can apply for 2 in the Red Ballot. Lo and behold it worked and I got 2.

But again, I think I was very lucky last year.

This year, why not let us know on here if there's a match anyone wants to go to - we can all apply and if anyone is successful, just give them your log-in details. I've no issue doing that.
