If this is your first time purchasing Premier League and European soccer tickets, getting into games at many of those stadiums can seem like the Wild West. So how do you know the company you’re buying from — in this case, Groundhopper Soccer Guides — is legit?

For some more background, you can read all we know about buying English soccer tickets, and also why it’s so hard to get into a Premier League game. You can also check out the Premier League’s page on safe ticket buying, which includes a long list of known unauthorized resellers.

A Premier League ticket: the holy grail of soccer fans everywhere.

The bottom line is as simple as supply and demand: people all over the world want to see these games, and there are only so many seats.

How Clubs Allocate Tickets

Clubs allocate tickets first to season ticket holders, then to members, usually based on previous purchase experience. Especially at the big clubs, tickets almost never emerge at the end of that process to be purchased by the general public, or even new members.

Meanwhile, the club also sells hospitality packages — basically a seat plus some other benefit like a lounge and/or food — directly to the public and also through authorized resellers. This is where we come in.

This also applies to the European clubs, as well.

So when we say we have tickets and hospitality to Premier League or other soccer games, what we mean is we can get them from these official resellers, who in turn get them from the club via a contract for the season. Simple as that!
