I need an adult and 2x child tickets for west ham. I have a feeling it will be sold out before it gets to priority blue members.

If anyone can help, will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Bob

I have enough points to buy tickets on Thursday but not sure how I would go about buying the child tickets using a patron number belonging to an adult.

Figured I'd put this in here so I don't have to create a whole new thread and cause more congestion.

If i wanted to get tickets to a home game in either Jan or May 2013 how would I go about doing
that from over here in the states? I don't quite understand this loyalty points system....

Thanks..sorry Wonderwall, not trying to hijack your thread.

The easiest way is to become a Blue member, good way to start building your loyalty pts too. It costs 20-30 quid i think.

So there's no sort of equivalent of me going on Ticketmaster and buying a ticket or just going on the City website
and buying one? I have to be a member?...which means only members can get tix?

Thanks.

Yeah as MG said you should look at becoming a blue member, costs £10iirc or £25 if you add 'ticket priority' which allows you to buy tickets before they go on general sale. As for the loyalty points, for home games you only have to worry about them for the big games (last season only scum & QPR games)

Also keep in mind that ticket availability depends a bit on how big game it is. especially as these days the club doesn't (always) sell tickets to big games for new blue members unless they have previously bought tickets for other games.

There is also the ticket exchange system where season ticket holders can sell their tickets if they can't make it to a game. But I haven't used it so I don't know if you can buy tickets without being a member or not. Someone can help you with this surely

You may have a good chance if you ring hospitality. There are different levels of seating and pricing that they deal with besides what you see on the tv. All a bit detached from the atmosphere, some areas less than others, and obviously cost a bit more. Depends what your priority is for getting to a game, so thought I'd just put this to you. With no membership or loyalty points this may be your best bet.

You really think, thats bad news for me. I have hoped to get tickets for me and my 2 sons. I'll just have to wait to see what happens.
£49 and no trains back so I've heard...and that's after a very expensive AJAX away.....here's hoping.
CTID!!

Of course. Just let me know.

I'm in Australia and just bought some tix for the sold out Swansea match via the viagogo link http://www.viagogo.co.uk/mcfc which is on the club website - dead easy to use. However I'm not exactly sure what happens with tickets now cos on one place it says they'll be sent to me and another says they will be available for collection on the day of the match ... if so, I hope/assume that's from the stadium!!

You do have to be a member and there was a surcharge of 6, very cheap, english pounds.

Good to know..thanks a lot. Looks easy enough.
Do you know, did you buy tickets from a reseller? Basically, is Viagogo a place for people to resell/scalp their tickets
or is a seller of official tickets from the club?

Thanks.

Definitely official - it's from the club web site. It looks to me that the club recognises every season ticket holder cannot attend every game and that using this service will offset/mitigate their loss. Also what's the point in having empty seats if there are casual supporters who are desperate to see a match. In my opinion, it just underscores what a quality product MCFC has become.

Cheers for that. I take it you need to ring them to buy the tickets, I can't see how you would do it online?
