Rosicky,
My connections shall remain nameless, so as they can remain connections(kidding). It was trough a girl that plays for me at PC, a freshman goalkeeper from Charlotte who's dad is an official with NSCAA.
As for my airline, we flew us air out of charlotte, non-stop (definently the way to go). We didn't use a travel agent. As for getting tickets for the big clubs i.e. arsenal, chelsea, MAN U, I would go through the club website and check out the package deals they have. That is the easiest and probably cheapest way to get tickets. We still paid about $150-$200 a ticket at Man Utd. But man was it worth it. Email me if you want to know details.
