As some of you on here know, my wife is a doctor. She is currently helping raise money for a medical charity called Wings of Healing (http://www.wingsofhealing.org.uk/), who provide medical aid to African countries. As part of the fundraising efforts, one of her colleagues has organised sets of two tickets for sale for the following three football matches:
16/01 Arsenal vs Swansea (face value £80) FA Cup match, tomorrow!
23/01 Arsenal vs West Ham (face value £127)
30/01 Arsenal vs Liverpool (face value £127)
All matches are at 7:30pm in the Emirates stadium, and the proceeds go to Wings of Healing. Please send me a PM if you are interested in finding out more or in placing an offer (remember these are raising money for a good cause, so bid higher than face value!).
Actually I have no idea (I’ve umm never actually been to a football match!), but I think that the prices are per ticket. I can certainly try to find out!
If you can find out seat locations this will be good as at this those prices of like to know I’m not sitting at the back in the £20 ticket seats for a cup game.
The tickets are central upper tier. One of the best positions in the stadium. For the class A games , the face value of each ticket is £127.00. The face value of the other tickets is £80 each.
Will update the first post since I got the prices slightly wrong.
Not for me either im afraid, bit short notice. Plus i walked out the last game i watched - which was swansea - i will stick them on my FB for you though.
Thanks Rixxy :-). I know nothing about promoting such things (and neither does my wife really, how she gets roped into helping out with stuff all the time I don’t know!).
If you did, you’d probably know it’s a criminal offence for an unauthorised person to sell tickets for ‘designated’ football matches in the UK where ‘designated’ covers pretty much any professional game.
Eek, that doesn’t sound good! On the plus side, it’s not me that’s doing it nor my wife - just helping publicise - and I believe that the actual sale is being done “properly” (whatever that means, in compliance with whatever requirements may be in effect).
I think you need to get approval from the club, which I’m sure in this case should be no problem, after all the law is aimed at preventing ticket touts, but like so many things these days the legislation is so badly written & broad in scope it means even giving a ticket away is illegal!
