Hi, first time posting here so apologies as I'm sure this has been asked previously. Haven't been over to a game in years and hoping to get over before the end of this season. I have just about got my head around the whole ballot thing but have yet to purchase a membership (wasn't planning on being in the country this year)

Now looking at buying a membership with the hope of getting to at least 1 game before the end of the season. From what I'm reading looks very unlikely to even get selected in the ballot. I can see some of you having success when they go on member general sale.

My question is when getting tickets through general member sale is there an option to then buy a second or third ticket at this stage (obviously assuming I have also purchased 2 other memberships as well as my own) does it give you the option to enter extra member account numbers?

I know it maybe seems silly buying a membership half way through the season but if I even got to one game I wouldn't care.
I don't THINK it lets you buy more than one on general sale (I could be wrong). At the ballot stage you can apply for multiple tickets if you have linked accounts (you'll need to link them before the ballot) but i don't think it lets you get multiple ones later on.

If it's a one off have you thought about doing hospitality?
Yes, you're right you can't buy more than one in the general sale.

Thanks for reply. Yea that makes sense about linking memberships for the ballot. I had hoped you could also get multiple tickets on the general sale as well as long as you had multiple memberships but maybe not 😩

Don't think the hospitality would be an option. I live in N. ireland so already very expensive for flights etc

Hoping to take my Son over to his first game but seems near impossible to get a match where the flights aren't ridiculous price and then still no guarantee of getting match tickets

f***ing GOT ONE FOR ARSENAL! Buzzing!

Had to keep going in and out of 'home tickets' and reselecting the Arsenal match and continually clicking on the dropdown where seats were 'available'. Had to do that about 15 times as every time the odd seat came up, someone else must have clicked it first and it then said 'unavailable'. But got one in the Leazes stand!
Great news, well done!

I think my mistake was logging out after getting a ticket for Fulham but I'll know for next time.
Yeah that will have dumped you to the back of the queue I think, which wasn't made clear at all.

Beyond a joke now, just a good job I've got nothing better to do!
Looking on Twitter it seems a lot of people are stuck, and then get through to the ticket site before getting kicked to the back of the queue. A few people have got tickets so doubt there will be any left if/when we get in.

I got my ticket for Fulham around 10:35 and once I paid for it logged out and logged back in for Arsenal at about 11:50 so not sure if I did the right thing there.

15 minutes in and the number of users ahead of me hasn't changed.
I logged in just after 11 and got in the Fulham queue but didn't get to the front, so I just stayed on the site and it moved me to the Arsenal queue. Still not moved either. Got a meeting at 13:30 so hope it's sorted by then!

I'm back to 819 in the Arsenal queue....it jumped to that from the Fulham queue.

Wait time says more than an hour tho so **** knows.
I haven't moved in 10 minutes since it opened, shambles!
I guess at least we know that it's not just our position that froze or something...!

Why put Fulham and Arsenal sales back-to-back when they know the system is glitchy at best...

Is your 'number of people in front of you in the queue' number going down? Mine has been sat on the same number for 10 mins...
