Southeast corner! gotcha, thanks.
One last thing - especially from a cultural perspective. Providing you aren't a muslim or recovering alcoholic, get there a few hours early and visit the atmosphere in the local pubs - especially The Bricklayers Arms. Always an experience!

this is awesome. hahaha loving what you are recommending me to do. Hanging out with Londoners at a pub with a pint or two of beer, then heading to the stadium sounds like a plan, yes indeed.

Is there a official Spurs supporters group in Canada? I believe in places like Singapore and Australia they provide some priority ticketing options for fans travelling such long distances.

I'm from Canada and I flew my dad and myself over to London for the NLD back in March.

Unfortunately the best way to get tickets if you live far away such as ourselves is through Thomas Cook match breaks. It set me back a cool $700CDN for the tickets though (and 1 night in a hotel) expensive, but OMG it was so worth it.

However with stub hub you may have a good chance using them also. (That wasn't up and running when I bought mine).

Deal. That's not so hard, I can set that up easy for you , trust. :) haha

That would be awesome, as is Korea - totally awesome - a place which I cannot go to teach English because of your visa restrictions on needing a degree - I need to find another way in !

Really, I did not know that. You need a degree in what though? Let me know when you are in Korea. Would love to show you around.

It does not matter for which subject - but at least a degree for the E-2 Visa regulation. So do you live in Korea, or Canada?

I live in Canada but I go back home once or twice a year, whenever I can afford! There is a great community of English teachers in Korea and they are super. You won't regret haha,

Yes I am sure, which is why I am aiming for a technology rich Asian country like Korea or Japan. I have no degree, so will probably end up in China first.

You'll need to be on there earlier than 9:30am, not sure how early though. If you're just buying for yourself then it shouldn't be too hard to find a ticket. Try logging in an hour beforehand maybe. I only get to go to a couple of games a season and I always go with my dad, so we sometimes have trouble because we're looking for seats together. Normally I log in about half an hour before and that seems fine.

Also, go for the South stand if you want a better atmosphere. It's cheaper than the West stand too.



Quick question if you don't mind! I know that the site automatically logs me out after 30 minutes of inactivity. From other threads, I found out that sometimes people end up waiting in queue for more than 30 minutes. How does this work? Do I log in before getting in the queue? Or do I log in after the wait? Or is there a way to prevent that automatic sign off....

Thanks in advance.

The 30 minute countdown only starts after you log-in. The queue that you join before tickets go on sale is to get you to the stage where you can log-in. Once you're logged in you can buy the tickets instantly (assuming the website is working as it should).

Another tip for the queue is to have one browser (eg Chrome) where you load up the ticket page at 9.00am, another (Firefox) where you load the ticket page at 9.15 and another (Explorer) where you log in at 9.30. Sometimes the queuing system can get completely screwed up so it's good to be in a few different parts of the queue at once. Also don't worry if you can't get a ticket on Monday. Very few tickets are on sale on Monday and they sell out very quick so your best chance of success will be Tuesday (you can still try for Monday of course).

You need to be logged in first to get into the online ticket office anyway, so make sure you're logged in beforehand. It shouldn't automatically log you out if you're waiting in a queue for a while because it's not inactive.

Edit: Just read the above comment by stonecolddeanaustin, he may actually be right there about joining the queue before you log-in. I've actually confused myself now and can't remember how it works!

We could both be sort of right. The queue is just to get you to the ticketing page. If you get there too early you can log-in but the Man U tickets won't be listed (if before 9.30 or something similar). Hit refresh to try to make them appear and then you're back in the queue but in that case you wouldn't have to log-in because you already are. I've never logged in before though and never had a problem with it.

Even if your a bronze member I usually find Tuesday easier to get the tickets as so few go on sale in the Monday. Honestly don't think you will have too much of a problem although I must admit I usually get through on the phone easier than on the website. Good luck mate.
