My email to Arsenal about Brum Allocation *Look here*

Post by Gooner_Sam »

Hi all, just looking for some responses about an email im about to send, i know its probably a lost cause but hey its the business end of the season :)

---------------------------

To whoever this may concern,

Hi, i missed out the sale of Birmingham due to the fixture named not going to red membership, before i knew it the game was sold out. As i know this is a sensitive issue concerning yourself and Birmingham City fotball club it would be appreciated among Arsenal suporters if you would ask to extend the allocation. It is the business end of the season and whilst i understand Birmingham City Football Club would do its best to ensure that the first priority is their own fans i kindly ask if you can enquire a further allocation that would suit both parties.

I know this is potentially a lost cause but i wanted to do all i could to make sure im at every Arsenal game till the end of the season.

Thank you for your time, i very much look forward to your response.

Sam Brown

How many tickets did we get and what percentage of the capacity is that?

I think its about 4,000 - but on the other side of the divide there are usually alot of empty seats, so if they could extend it so the seats are filled everyones a winner right?

Yeah I guess so, but those who have booked haven't even fucking received their tickets yet!

EDIT: brum are useless.

They ran out of replica tops in October (Says a brum-supporting mate) and haven't yet restocked!

I think 4000 is fair in it's own right. And they always leave some seats for segregation purposes.

Not sure if you're complaint is justified, even though I can understand it.

On the website it says we've been allocated 3,000 tickets but every other team has been allocated 4,000. Maybe you should try calling Arsenal in person? :?
