Guest BlueGaz Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 After a bit of advice if anyone has done any trips down south for any games. Looking at Xmas presents. Come across this site, are these prices good? Or are you better / easier getting in touch with clubs and putting it together yourself? The ease of this looked good. https://www.thomascooksport.com/Football/Premier-League?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0ruJk8iH1wIVJbXtCh11vQN7EAAYAiAAEgKHBPD_BwE Cheers.

Huddersfield Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 If those package tours give you what they suggest, then I'd say for the bigger clubs that's probably a fairly solid way of doing it (assuming the tickets are legitimate resells; I know that Huddersfield, for example, are cancelling tickets that have been resold at more than face value, or without going through the club's own reseller system). I can't locate it at the minute, but I know there's a site somewhere that shows you a percentage of how sold out each EPL stadium was the previous Saturday, which gives you an indicator of whether or not you'd have a chance of getting tickets via the club at normal face value. Are you looking to visit a "big 6" game or just any EPL fixture you can get to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm going to Spurs-Everton in January when the winter break is on. Tickets will be a piece of piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate is a Killie & Huddersfield season ticket holder (lives/works in but can't stand Leeds Utd. He's off to Anfield on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the lad - in fact I sat behind him for a few years; always wears his Killie scarf to Town matches. I aren't worried so much for myself as I'm in a high priority group (& will be at Anfield ), but I know loads of folk that can't get tickets for these games, even though in Spurs' case, there will be a fair few thousand empty seats. It never happened at Dagenham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking to visit a "big 6" game or just any EPL fixture you can get to? Not really bothered myself, easiest to get to would be my preference, but my son is a football fanatic, so will prob go for the biggest game I possibly can in terms of players. I haven't picked a date yet, need to look at game calendar up here first, I just wandered if those type of prices were fair or not. I quite fancy some of the hospitality packages on offer, but I'm taking another 4 people, so need to keep an eye on the price Looking at Bayern as well now, prices really good for them too. I'm keen to go to their stadium for a night game, and I love Germany anyway. Never been to Munich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never happened at Dagenham. I know him too (used to go on same bus with me to Killie games) but he's not got a season ticket at Killie, only Town. Believe it or not, there's two separate Killie fans I know with Town season tickets! Guy you are thinking of is called Stuart, big guy with dark hair and glasses. My other mate only started going to Town the past 2 or 3 years as he was exiled. Big Stuart has stayed there for years.

I can only answer for City, but for the 2 games in January, the ticket prices in East Stand level 3 are £46 for Newcastle & £36 for West Brom and the Travelodge Central Arena is £80 & £60 respectively for a twin room.

Not sure who the other bloke is. I should probably put this on 'you know you're old', but I watched Town v. Killie pre-season back in 1978...1-0 to you with around 500 or so away fans there.

I was only 14 myself at the time, but my recollection is it was a fairly lively afternoon - we were utter garbage around that time (we ended up next to bottom of the 4th division at one point during that season) but we had a fair number of headcases in what was left of our support. The Killie lads that turned up weren't exactly wallflowers either, & so a typically 1970s discussion on the relative merits of English & Scottish football ensued. I have a printed teamsheet somewhere, but probably buried under the subsequent 40 years-worth of programmes in my cupboard - if I find it, I'll scan it & post it.

Think that is what we are going to do. Its almost comparative price wise to going down south. I didn't realise at first how cheap it was to go to Bayern game.

Looking at Bayern for the wee man’s Christmas present (which doubles as my present too!). Used an agency for Barca in January (the whole trip as a package) but would rather do it independently this time 👍🏼 Edited October 27, 2017 by McTeeko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how it works with German teams selling tickets etc. If the packages available are similiar price to doing it myself, just going to go with that for ease. I will let you know what I find mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
