English Premier League Tickets
Advance Booking is the way to go ..... to secure!
Yet again we have received many enquiries on match packages for the upcoming new season.
And, once again, many people are asking the big question, "If the current season
finishes May 15th and the new season doesn't start until August but the match I want to go to might not be until March next year, why do I have to book so early?"
Following, is an article I wrote over a year ago, it still stands and believe me, it will be worse this year.
The average stadium capacity of English Premier League clubs is around 40,000 (some more, some less) and the majority of tickets are sold to season ticket holders, usually around 75%.
"No problem, that leaves approx 10,000 tickets per game so I can buy nearer the match date" I hear you say.
"Not necessarily true", is my reply.
Let's not talk about the current top 3 clubs, let's use Manchester City as a prime example: The City of Manchester Stadium holds 48,000, the Season ticket allocation is 36,000, the away fans allocation is approx 2,000 (maybe more for some games). Add to that all the sponsors' allocations and you are already well over 40,000.

But wait, what about the official fan club members who cannot get a season ticket, or just simply cannot afford that amount of upfront cash? - but still want to go to every home game!
They get priority purchase options on the remaining tickets ... and believe me, there are a lot of them.
Suddenly, you have sold out games months in advance.
This is the reason 3 Lions Sport is offering you the opportunity to book your match packages for the 2005/2006 season - now!
