[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how much are top tier EPL club tickets before you have to shell out $300 for the hospitality packages? Friend to went to see Liverpool mentioned this to me once.

Perhaps I'm not a baller like other DCUM posters, but I'd much rather fly by the seat of my pants and see international futbol for cheaper in Latin America than shell out of my a55 to impress other Americans with EPL.[/quote]

Basically all the regular tickets for the top tier teams are sold to supporters club members, ranked by years of membership. They have blocks available for members of supporters club of the opposing team, but those are similarly generally ranked by seniority. They also usually prioritize members who live in the UK. So it's usually very difficult to get single game tickets to one of the big teams from the US.

If you want tickets for teams below the top 7 or 8, you can usually join the supporters club for around $50, and then enter the lottery for single game tickets- and usually get 1 or 2 for non-major games.

There is also a very small resale market- most people have season tickets and usually don't sell them- given to friends, etc. it's a different culture of being a fan/supporter.

This is why the standard way for Americans to go to one of the big team matches are the expensive hospitality packages. There isn't a no much cheaper/simpler way usually.[/quote]
