In today’s market, it is becoming more difficult for genuine football fans to buy match tickets to watch their favourite team. The Premier League is the most lucrative competition in world football and the demand for tickets continues to grow year after year. Buying Arsenal tickets, Liverpool tickets, Manchester City tickets, Manchester United tickets and Chelsea tickets remain the most popular on the market and sell out for every match. As a result, secondary platforms like us at Football Ticket Pad are becoming realistic alternatives for football fans all over the world providing access to the biggest and best games across the season in Europe.

As ticket prices rise, demand grows and the general ticketing process of buying tickets through primary methods requires many hoops and regulations to be passed, it is no question that the everyday football fan is missing out on football tickets to watch their team. The secondary market is becoming a hotbed for customers searching for their desired football tickets and we are here to help.

Primary sellers are making it tougher to buy tickets, especially in football with the Premier League and Champions League, two of the most popular formats available. Nowadays, fans need to have a required number of match credits’ or ‘membership points’ to be able to access tickets early, leaving more and more football fans empty-handed. As a result, customers are more willing to pay ‘markup’ prices for the tickets they want which leave many asking the question: How do I know my tickets are genuine? Here are a few tips to help gain trust when buying your football tickets online:

Trust Pilot Rating: - Trust Pilot is a star rating system which credits sites with a value based on their customer service and customer satisfaction. For instance, Football Ticket Pad operates a five-star Trust Pilot rating. Anything below four stars would not be recommended.
