Man, it's unbelievable how popular soccer is here! It's almost impossible to get decent tickets to matches between top teams unless you're a member of one of them. Hence, with the intention of experiencing a soccer match between two top teams, both Irene and I have become Arsenal members and will be amongst the many Red members vying for tickets on 22 December for tickets to the Arsenal vs Manchester United game.
It was actually a difficult journey finding a club to be a member of. Each club has their own policies with costs and benefits varying between them. My first choice was actually Chelsea given their lower cost of becoming ticket only members and the discount you get when buying tickets as a member. However, all the matches that we want to go to with Chelsea are scheduled on days when we are away and so it would've been a bit pointless joining them.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has a bigger stadium and have matches that does not clash with our other bookings. Furthermore, Irene seem to like Arsenal more. Her thinking is that Arsenal is a waning club and so should be easier to buy tickets to their matches. I hope she's right but in any case, I'm hoping to see a few matches!
