I have to study abroad as a requirement for my college Honors Program. I figured this would be the best place to ask this. I'm a BIG Arsenal and I like AC Milan as well, and I was wondering which would be harder to get tickets for to see a game. The whole damn point of the study abroad experience is to experience other cultures so I said **** it. I'll be there for a semester (right not maybe next year actually). How hard would it be to get tickets for either team and what would I have to do to maybe order them in advance?

easier tickets-Arsenal

Better football(hate to say it:f***: ) AC milan

I lived in Italy two years. It's easy as hell to get tickets. I never had a problem except with the derbys and champions league matches. I recomend Italy anyway, learn another language, the food, the people, the WOMEN! dear God the women. go to Italy, you will not regret it. Damn, the WOMEN!

You and about 5,000 friends can eaily get tickets for any game in Italy.

Mexico:mexican: ....i would just pick England (cause learning Italian would irritate me....eventhough it has its similarities to spanish)........as for the better football: Arsenal....but AC Milan has one of my favorites=Kaka(Y)
..........but it is very true, ITALIAN WOMEN would be reason enough for me to choose Italy....too bad i wouldnt know what to say:( ...................England>Italy

You will have little chance of getting tickets to see Arsenal unless you have a bottomless pocket.

Yea, until the new stadium goes up it's going to be pretty hard.

He could probably see Arsenal away. Or are all the EPL grounds always sold out?

no , nearly all the seats at highbury are taken by season ticket holders , I dont think you'd have any chance of seeing a game there.

Pretty much everywhere but Blackburn, usually.

Oh, I thought maybe Charlton or Palace might have seats available.

theres nothing to see in england :crazyboy:
on the other hand, in italy you have the food and the women, and also the food, and hwo culd i forget the women! and the food its great too.
and it goes like this juve > milan > arsenal :p
also if you like history there are tons of places to visit in italy...roma, venezia, milano, torino, firenze, napoli....

Italy!!!!!!!

Italy, unless you like cold and wet weather.

yea that too!
England: the place forgotten by the sun (H)

Well I'm on holiday in England right now and I must say it's a brilliant country. People here are nice. :p

People in Italy are even nicer. :p Like me! :crazyboy: j/k.

Italy is a great country. I love it. The culture, the ladies (don't we all love the old women :mrpimp::p ) Everything.

BTW - Come to Torino, It's even easier to get tickets for Juve. :rolleyes: For you, and your 40,000 friends.

I don't know how hard it is to get tickets to games in Italy but I've had no luck with Arsenal games. Yes, I have been trying. I looked it up 2 months ago, ******* ****s wanted to sell them to me for 200 squid. Heh. I'm Asian but I'm sure as hell not stupid. :p

Just turn up on match day, there will probably be left overs at the ticket office.

Huh? For real? I'm willing to pay no more than 50 quid, you think I've got any chance?

I'd only recommend it if you live in North London though and you would probably have to get there as early as possible before the few leftovers are snapped up by everyone else.

There are usually a few hundred leftovers at Old Trafford(If we're playing a small diddy team) because some ST/LMTB holders cannot always make it or the away team don't sell all of their allocation. But you've got to get there early.

Fudge it. I'm all the way in Cambridge.

See I guess thats a part of the problem. I kinda wanted to see Highbury before they don't use it anymore.

The atmosphere at San Siro is WAY better !!!!

juve>milan> arsenal....... refering to what is best, and the guy is asking what games-tickets to go ;)

Go to bigsoccer.com
then go to the Arsenal forums and look for a poster named rickbreese. He always helps people get Arsenal tickets.

Enigma. You should message him ASAP since you're already in England and it would be easier for you 2 to hook up.

talking bout which is the better team, not bout getting tickets. because before my post someone said that if he wanted to watch a better team than arsenal then he should watch milan, but juve is better than both of those :crazyboy:

They shouldn't show the match on local TV if the stadium is that empty.

Follow your dreams of becoming a professional golfer and move to Prince Edward Island, man.

i love the stadium in Torino but doesn't it suck when theres no fans seeing a awesome team? seriously come on it sucks to see the players wanting to wave at fans. but hey the stadium is the perfect place to throw a futbol party with maybe 50 friends (H)!!!

Don't be offended so fast. We are comparing Italy with England so it's a fair point to bring up: I've rarely seen a game in England that hasn't had full-house attendance while in Italy it's rarely attended except for derbies and the like.

How can you say Italian football is better? They just defend defend defend defend defend and more defending!

We have the best free flowing attacking and entertaining football in Europe!

Hands down!!

Plus the premiership teams fill their grounds most of the time and it's not like sitting in a morgue.

EPL sucks salty balls and its a known fact ;)

If you would actually watch Italian football you would see that in Italy they defend as much as they do in England.

Defences in England just suck, makes it a bit more entertaining.

I still rate Italian football above English football because more teams in Italy know how to defend against the big teams. In England only Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have top class defences. Many(not all) other teams just sit back against the big guns with ten men and don't bother coming out until they concede.

Surely when you go to a football match you want value for your money? We get plenty of high scoring games in England which i feel gives better value for money than watching a more technical game which often finishes with a draw. Ok maybe the Italians prefer to watch a more technical game.

I'll rephrase my initial sentence. English football isn't necessarily better but it's far more entertaining, IMO.

On average last season there were slightly more goals in Serie A matches then in Premierleague matches. ;)

I suggest you do your maths again:

Serie A - 816 goals for divided by 18 = 45.3 as an average
Premierleague - 1012 goals for divided by 20 = 51 as an average

;)

I don't know, in terms of entertainment I'd say EPL wins by miles. Technically the football in Spain and Italy are better.

In 160 games the EPL have scored a total of 420 goals

In 140 games the Serie A have scored a total of 340 goals

that's not to far off considering the EPL have 20 more games played

Also......

In 160 games the EPL have an average of 2.64 goals per match

In 140 games the Serie A have an average of 2.42 Goals per match

that leaves us with a 0.22 average goals difference, that's also not to far off, and the EPL have 20 more games played

wow, the Serie A is very defensive indeed:kader:


In conlcusion.....the Serie A is not defensive, we just have more competition:)

if you don't believe me: http://www.soccerstats.com/

You can throw all the stats you want at me. My point is the Italian game has more of an emphasis on defending. Slow build up play, sitting on goal leads, etc

The English game is much quicker with a greater emphasis on getting the ball into the back of the net, the whole point of football.

Therefore the English game is more entertaining and i get much better value for my money IMO.

but then again, what kind of idiots would think there's a tactical and strategic point to soccer which could help get the ball in the back of the net

oh yea, the team that won 3 world cups doing it:)

Ah well, was wrong on that one. Saw on an other site that Italian matches had slight more goals.

But like Santino said, the difference is minimal. It does annoy me when it keeps getting labelled defensive, because that's the old stereotype.

ain't nothing wrong with being labeled defensive, you are supposed to stop the other team from scoring, no?

Anyway, i've enjoyed watching serie a this year, i find it entertaining because smaller teams are no walkover for the bigger clubs.

A question for Juve fans though, why so many empty seats? Is it because the seats are so far away from the pitch? Games readily available on TV?

I'd think a team that has the talent of Juve, the fans would flock in to see them

Seriously, if you only practiced what you preached, you'd be a Goddamn mute around here. If only. though. I mean, you and your backdoor brothers have fouled up and ruined countless of threads with your inane and tripe talk and you have the gall to talk to a SG hero like dannyeli in that manner? What a joke!!

yes, you are correct, it was a joke...hence the :crazyboy:

my apologies if you were offeneded for a joking comment directed at danny

and retardino...hahahahaha, good one, and since your so familiar with family guy, then you'll have fun reading this

Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!

last season the serie a only had 34 weeks and the epl had 38

therefore.......a lot more epl games and not a large difference in scoring


sorry im dragging this on, but the outlook people have about the serie a being defensive should try watching the games

Santino :clapwap:

only 2.6 more goals each week :)

so i guess now's a good time to toss out an:


I Win:)

yea like this other guy that said that he prefers the EPL because he gets more for his money.

It is an average; weeks don't go into consideration after he averaged the goals out per the teams.

Do it by weeks, it will just be divided by 2 again from the original number.

Now, I know you don't want to take on me :) So I will close the thread because this "Serie A vs EPL" is annoying, boring and just plain stupid.
