Away Supporter Ticket

[lankeela]

As Norwich have returned to the Premier League they play my team Tottenham on 28th December. Not having been to a football match for about forty years or more I went online to look at tickets as I fancy going. Cannot make head nor tail of ticket buying - can anyone tell me if it is possible to just turn up and buy a ticket or how to go about booking one? Also how much will it cost - one site quoted £148 which I cannot believe is right.

This is a pdf from Norwich's website. It looks like the tickets don't go on sale to general public until December.

Sorry, I was looking as a Norwich supporter so that info won't be valid for you

I am afraid you are unlikely to get a ticket.

It is quite normal for the general public to get tickets these days. After the season tickets are sold, club members get priority, and very rarely any left.
Some clubs even give members points for each match they attend and the higher the points, the more chance they have.

I don't think you'll get one through the club. Season ticket holders get first dibs and they usually sell out, then it goes down to members. Do you know a season ticket holder who won't be going, and might get you a ticket.

Just reread your thread, think you are a Norwich supporter, Rocky's link shows you will not get a chance until 3 days after the release date. The away team only get allocated a limited number of tickets.

There will be no chance of getting a ticket sadly. Not with the Spurs supporters as they will sell out to their season tickets.

And any tickets not sold to season ticket holders at Norwich go to members. I'm a member but even then I havent managed to get a ticket yet this season. Either too popular or my internet connection crashes and times out as the demand is so high on the day.

Any tickets you see for sale on the internet through any sources other than the clubs themselves are a bit suspect, regardless of price, approach with caution.

From the spurs website....

Tickets for our away fixtures will usually sell out to our Season Ticket Holders. If availability remains, priority will be given to our One Hotspur Members.

Whatever happened to turning up on a Saturday afternoon and queing to go through the turnstiles? Do they sell that many to season ticket holders that there is no room for casual spectators?

[ubasses]

Most of the big clubs do, it is often the only way to get a guaranteed entrance. They have also started the membership scheme, those that pay to join get the next priority on the ticket release day.

I think you belong to the same era as me, lankeela. In the 50s people went to matches to watch football; now they seem to go for a good fight. I used to support a club from a city a long way from where I lived and I used to go, with my mates, to watch them play the local clubs, just paying at the gate. Now they have to separate home and away fans, so it makes a spontaneous visit impossible.

Personally, I have always got my tickets from social media ie facebook and twitter. Do a general search on these platforms and join some of the ticket exchanges too.

Switch your allegence to Lowestoft Town Lankeela and you go every week, pay on the gate and have a great time!

Last time i went to a game.It was non league, a lot cheaper. and paid at the turnstiles. Try it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
