I think most of the time you have to be an exec to stand a chance of getting an away ticket. Normal members can't even apply for aways. I would love to go to an away game but the only chance i would have is buying from a tout or going to a european away in the early stages, which i nearly did this season against Cluj but decided against it. The only away i have been to was against City in the community shield, if that can be classed as an away.

Yeah away games are hard. I went to one, at Old Trafford incidentally, because it was an FA Cup game so our allocation was higher. Great fun. Arsenal have an away scheme which is closed for new members as they're trying to phase it out in favour of the Gold/Silver/Red scheme.
So do you not get to choose the seat for the big games? You could end up in the top corner of the stadium or right on the halfway line in the upper tier?
