I live in NZ. I have been a supporter since 1960 when my Dad first took me to WHL. (My Dad was born in Enfield)
2 years ago I came back and did the Stadium tour and bought a Premium ticket to the match against Wolves.
I am coming back to the UK in September and I will be in London in September when we play Arsenal and Brentford.
I would like to go to both games but my partner is travelling with me this time and wants to come to the matches.
I thought I could register for Premium tickets and buy two but was told yesterday I can only buy one. (I have been a OHM for several years and thought I might get some priority but no)
I don't really want to go through StubHub or the like because it is really just a form of ticket touting and I would much rather pay the club for a Premium ticket but I cant buy 2!
The other option is through an official reseller of Premium tickets
where you buy a hotel package with the ticket?
This way looks legit to me but I would like to hear from anyone who has used it. It certainly looks genuine but I think I am getting a bit neurotic about being scammed or at least getting refused entry.
So - have you ever used the Hotel Official reseller eg Champions Travel or have you ever used a secondary ticket (? illegal reseller). Would love to hear your experience.

I took my son over for his first NLD last season (2-0 loss) I booked a hotel package through Champions Travel. The hotel was facing Finsbury Park which apparently is Arsenal territory lol so we kept our heads down, it was all fine though. Just jumped on a bus facing the hotel on the morning of the game. Package was pricey enough though....

maybe cheaper to buy your partner a OHM for this season than to have to pay for a hotel package as the extra cost could be spent on a better premium seat?

I hope your visit brings us the luck we need to beat the goons

When I go back to the Uk I've used these, the cheapest 'travel package' comes with a One Day Travelcard, so much cheaper than a hotel!

OK you get a hotel for the one night but £543 for north stand block 113 , which is a £81 seat right next to the away support , hardly a luxury seat.

I got a ticket for the 2008 Liverpool game (through a friendly member of COYS) . From memory that was Redknapps first home game 1st
Nov 2008, when Super Pav came on late and scored the winner. I was behind that goal and we won 2-1. Got thoroughly soaked as it pissed with rain all night.
I was also at the Southampton and Wolves games in 2022 when we won.
So hopefully my presence brings us some good luck.

What I find strange is that the Premium packages (not all but at least some) for the Arsenal game are on sale at the Official resellers but not from the club itself. From the resellers you can buy 2 Premium seats but from the club only 1 seat.
