I am in London for 5 days and want to see the Bolton and Man City games. Anybody have any idea how I can get tickets from a Tout and what I expect to pay?

Buying tickets from a tout is illegal in the UK. As a result Arsenal have moved away from paper tickets, and there are only a very few that are printed out. It may be nigh-impossible to get tickets. Next time you find out you’ll be in London, contact our Ticket Officer, who would be happy to add your name to the list when submitting our application to AFC.

Touts are scum and should really be avoided, especially since there are so many other options.
First, don’t wait until the last minute. If you had given us a few months notice (or even a few weeks) we might have been able to help you.
Second, check out the Supports Club behind where the North Bank used to be. They have a ‘ticket office’ for there members and if you go up to them, introduce yourself as an Arsenal fan visiting from the states and ask nicely if they have any spares, they (if they have any) will try to help you out, or will point you to someone who might. They have hundreds of members and the chances that one of their members is not going to make a game is pretty high.
Third, check out some of the other message boards like the arsenal.com and Arsenal-World.net http://www.awimb.com/fudforum/ to see if there are any spares.
There are very very few paper tickets to the Emirates. If you get one, there is a risk it is a fake and you’ll be stuffed.

Yes, you know me too well Dan. That’s going to be the image I use for all ticket posts from now on.
