Should have done it in the first place, as it was actually a bit cheaper than the one I bought from Ticketbis.
Well, lesson learned the hard way, so hope we'll get a memorable match.
Is there something that you guys recommend for first time visitors to get the full match day experience? For example, take a pint with the Arsenal fans in some classic pub before the game or learn some chants to sing with the fans?
I'm from Finland so I'm not that familiar with British culture and what you do on these big match days. Hope someone can give me some insight. Thanks!
Presuming you're going to the league match, not the cup final?
The best thing to do is arrive about 90 mins before kick off at Finsbury Park station. Have a pint or two in the Twelve Pins then follow the crowd towards the stadium, down St Thomas's Road. If there's time stop at the Auld Triangle for another pint on the way. When you turn right onto Gilespie Road you will walk past the old stadium and Arsenal tube station.
On the way back use Arsenal tube station instead of Finsbury Park. This station obviously has strong links with the club. The floor-to-ceiling fence which runs all the way down the tunnel to separate fans from other station users is a unique feature.
