Omri Borenshtein spokesperson at Ticketgum shares his tips for securing tickets to the best matches:
“One of the key factors of securing tickets to games that you are desperate to see is to act fast. Matches that include teams from the top 6 in the Premier League attract interest from all over the UK and abroad so being proactive is essential if you want to secure seats for these games.
“In order to be the first to know about ticket releases, make sure to sign up to club newsletters or websites and keep an eye on official social media channels for match announcements. For the biggest games, consider recruiting any friends to try obtaining tickets through different devices.
“If games are sold out, look for trusted ticket brokers. Once you’ve found the tickets you want, you should always ensure you’re purchasing from a safe, trusted seller to ensure you get authentic tickets. Remember to read customer reviews and ensure the company you use is well-established.”
