I thought it would be nice to catch a football (i.e. soccer) game while in London, but it's much more difficult than I imagined. It appears you have to have a membership to buy tickets for most of the teams, especially the bigger names such as Arsenal and Chelsea. Well, it takes a while to get a membership, and by then I'll be back home. It also appears that teams charge home fans slightly lower prices than "away" fans -- an open form of price discrimination that seems to be the norm.
Chelsea also has other restrictions, possibly to limit rioting in the stadium. What else could explain this rather unwelcoming note?
"Please be aware that non-members with German addresses buying tickets for the Schalke game will have their order cancelled."
I haven't given up yet, and will keep on trying. JP
