I've never buy a ticket for an event like a football match in english but in general i've never bought an online ticket, so i think that it's supposed to be easier buy a ticket in person maybe remember to buy it with a few days in advance in order to avoid confusion in the shop.

Yes I have! It was on my honeymoon, January's 2019. And we were so excited! It was a Chelsea x Nottingham Forest match for de FA Cup. We've bought it at the ticket office, by the stadium. And it was quite tough because of the amount of fans who were desiring the same as we're. Chelsea won! 2-0.

I used to go to stadiums to watch live matches. It's quite easier to buy tickets over the counter on match-day.Here, tickets for local matches don't sell out.To be honest, I haven't bought online tickets.

I wish I had. From time to time my London friends invite me to visit English football matches, but it's way too expensive to travel from Ukraine to the UK. I wish I would end up at the top of Fantasy Premier League leaderboard this season to get a chance to visit the UK. In fact, is there any Premier Skills English league?

When I went to London three years ago, I had bought a ticket for Manchester United vs Manchester City in Japan, but it was so expensive that next time when I have a chance, I would definately buy it on line by myself.
