Go rush now because there are thousands of fans and there is huge demand of premier league tickets. I wouldn’t want you to miss this season, do you?
But before you rush to buy your premier league tickets, why don’t I update you about some past, present and future of the English premier league. It was founded in February 20, 1992. This professional league comprises the association football clubs. The Premier League is a corporation in which the teams or member clubs act as the shareholders of the club. The season begins in August and continues till May, with each team playing 38 games that is a total of 380 games.
This popular football event is sponsored by the Barclays Bank. Therefore, the premier league is officially referred as the Barclays Premier League. Most of the sports events take place on weekends that is Saturdays and Sundays, with very few games happening during the weekdays, because as everyone knows people are busy during weekdays and everyone likes to enjoy and relax when they have no pending deadlines and assignments to worry them. During the season, premier league tickets get sold like hot cupcakes in winters.
Before buying premier league tickets, it will be nice to know a little about the football game. The League came into being after the downfall of English football in the late 1980s when the English football clubs were banned from European matches for five years starting from 1985. Many players left for greener pastures.
In the FIFA World Cup of 1990, the league reached the semi-finals. Manchester United won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup the very next year. The signs of a breakaway league were seen in 1988 when 10 clubs threatened to form a separate 'super league'. As stadia started improving, the match attendance and revenues increased and the top teams expressed their desire to leave the Football League to capitalize on the rising money influx in sports. The agreement for establishing FA Premier League was signed on July 17, 1991.
Premier league tickets are available on many websites. But the booking should be done in a few months in advance. Most of these websites offer a total package to go along with those coveted tickets. Usually, what a package includes is a staying option, tickets for the game, tickets for visiting other local attractions like museums etc. and the bus passes. This is not a comprehensive list and package offerings may vary from site to site.
