Tickets from Viagogo

Postby city9_4eva » Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:05 pm

Just purchased 2 tickets for the Arsenal game via the ticket exchange website viagogo, for me and my girlfriend, one had in brackets (over 65's) and one had (adult) next to them. However I paid 60 for each ticket so therefore am I correct in assuming that the age category for the season tickets I purchased just for this game dont count, and that as the holders of the season tickets cant go and I have theoretically purchased theres for this game, it just means I have bought two adult tickets? help please

You'll probably age several decades worrying about it before the match so you should be fine. (Hopefully someone can come along soon with an answer that actually helps you)

Since Viagogo is official and you have bought through official ticket exchange, I am assuming your own cards (blue) would have been loaded by these tickets so you will simply be using your own blue cards for accessing the gates ... again, since it's from official exchange you should simply call the club and double check to make sure all is in order, but it should be fine though.

I tried to sell my ticket for the QPR game on through Viagogo but I couldn't cos it's a gold card and it only applies to Platinum or Superbia cards.

Elitist bullshit.

Did you check the gender of the original ticket holders?

Be better if you dress up as two old ladies, after all nobody would think two old dears were doing anything wrong would they?

Just don't pee your pants in the excitement; that just is not funny.

I sold my ticket for QPR as I couldn't make it due to shift working. Got a tidy £30 which will go towards a CL ticket, thank you very much.
All in all the site seems very well laid out and the transaction went smoothly.

In reply to the OP, I doubt the tickets will be affected by the age of the seller. Your membership should cover it, but if in doubt, I agree, check with the ticket office.

I didn't go for Platinum last season as I thought it was wrong to be asked to pay extra just for 'loyalty' points.

However, part of the reason we decided to go for it this season was because of the ticket exchange. We missed 4 or 5 home games last season and let the tickets go for ridiculous amounts, usually £10-£15!

We figured that we could easily recoup the extra £50 needed to upgrade to Platinum by using Viagogo to sell tickets for games we are unable to attend for more realistic amounts.

Is it possible to order two tickets next to each other? Then does that mean u have tickets to the game? Sounds stupid but I don't understand it lol.

I am thinking of buying a ticket for the away game in Madrid on Thomas Cook Sport. It says the ticket is only available to Manchester City seasonal members and corporate seasonal members. Does this mean any type of seasonal member (platinum, blue, superbia) can buy this ticket?

In a word, no.

It's my understanding that you have to qualify in terms of having appropriate loyalty points just like any normal prem away game. For example, if tickets were available to seasoncard holders with 5000 points or more, you'd need to have the appropriate loyalty points before applying for ticket.

In a nutshell, you're fucked if you haven't got a healthy amount of loyalty points (or know someone who has).

Me too, though I bought Platinum last season. I let my Rags ticket go for £30 which was about the best price in the land, given the magnitude of the match. My Arsenal ticket went on Viagogo and the whole thing is very smooth. I'll be happier once I receive payment after the match and will wait to fully judge it then.

You don't get paid until after the match?

There's wording on the Thomas Cook site that says tickets are provided in accordance with the club's loyalty points scheme so you still need to qualify, there's no shortcut.

Don't park at the stadium, I know last year it was a tenner, it may of gone up this year! But there's loads of car parks arroyos the ground up to a few miles away for a fiver, but most of them shut barriers to the car park about 2 hours after the game.

Payment is about a week or so after the game. It's all on the Viagogo website terms and conditions.
