......why though? If games are not selling out they should make it easier to get tickets...membership schemes and other hoops do not make it easier.......they seem to be a tax on ticket buyers. I'm not convinced security is a major reason either although I'm sure it is the one that is used.
Non of this crap in Germany. You simply go and buy a ticket for the game you want.
I went to Chelsea v Newcastle last year and got a ticket through general sale. So might be better to wait until nearer christmas.
If not theres always FA Cup weekend, probabily be able to get tickets for an unatractive fixture from most london clubs aswell.
