    I agree with Brit Bill. I wouldn’t stay near the stadium. You’ll regret it.  All of the week’s activities are in central London. The game will be in the late afternoon and the stadium is in a primarily residential neighborhood. Just take the overground train to Tottenham….it’s easy and cheap. 

     

    2:30pm kick off has been confirmed.

    On a more serious note, I am definitely coming. Any tip for a hotel close to stadium which has also good connection to airports? But I guess it's too early to ask, I need to check airline tickets first since there are quite a lot airports in London.

     

    All the airports have great transport links into central London. Especially Heathrow. 

     

    The area which the stadium is in itself probably isn't the best for staying in. You'll be fine anywhere more central. You can get a London Overground train from Liverpool Street to White Hart Lane station (very close to  Spurs stadium) and back. So if you're wanting an easy journey from the stadium to your hotel after the game then hotels around Liverpool St would suit.

    So another early bye ?.. 

     

    As I’m assuming bills will take their bye the week after

     

    Not necessarily. The teams have the option to have one after an International game.

    It looks like it’s $120-$370 now depending on which of the 3 classes you take. It’s not something you do every day, so the cost wouldn’t cause me to blink for a second. If I make it to London for the Bills game I may build in a day to get back to Paris to experience the ride as much as anything. The wife gets motion sickness just thinking about boats or trains, so if I’m over there alone it would be a perfect time to give it a shot. 


    When I did London to Paris by train a few years ago it worked out cheaper to get the Eurostar from London to Lille then another train to Paris. Added about an hour to the journey but I got to see a bit of Lille as well. The train station in Lille is very central to the centre.

    Cheers... Booked a place about 2 or 3 miles from the stadium, the Royal Oak I think... Not 5 star but reasonably priced, was just worried with the leaks around the date that accomodation would be snapped up quickly.

     

    My nextdoor neighbour is a Raiders fan, so now he's on board too 😄

     

    Excellent! My mate and his son who we go to games with are Cowboys fans and were hoping it'd be them we play. 

     

    I can't wait until October now. Last season drained me a little and a small part of me was relieved it was over. Having the Bills in London was a timely boost.

    We will. I got some accomodation booked last week before the rush.

     

    Any idea when tickets will go on sale? Is it typically very soon after the schedule release?  I'm seeing some reports of June but thought it would be much sooner.

     

    Where did you book to stay? We'll be coming down for the day unless my soccer team ends up playing in or around London on the Saturday.

     

    I suspect tickets will go on sale fairly sharpish. Last year, for some reason, I got sent a pre-sale link for the Jaguars game so got them. I can't see that happening for the Bills or Titans home games at Spurs. 

     

    I reckon when they send an email confirming the games tomorrow they'll be further details about tickets.

    Thanks for that.  Hopefully see you there!  It would be amazing to get tickets but I'm assuming it will be a challenge with so much demand.   I have a couple of Packers supporting friends based here in Northern Ireland who were delighted to hear last their that their Packers were playing in London, but they missed out on tickets unfortunately.

     

    Yeah, it looked a nightmare to get tickets for that last year with it being Packers first time over. The games at Spurs are a tough get in comparison to Wembley due to the lower capacity as well. 

     

    There's always a way in though. Even if you don't get a ticket in the initial sale. A few years ago we picked the Tampa v Carolina game as the one we wanted to that season and didn't get tickets in the initial sale. However, more came available later down the line due to returns of tickets offered to fans in mainland Europe that went unsold. 

     

    I've just followed an account on Twitter called @nfuk_tickets which helps people needing tickets get them. 

     

    Let me know how you get on in the initial sale. If you're unsuccessful I'll do what I can to find you a ticket. Chances are we'll be in the same boat!

    Some advice please from those with more experience with the buying of tickets for NFL games...

     

    I'm hoping to go to the London game this year, but I'm unsure how long after the schedule release tickets for individual games go on sale.  What's the advice with that?

     

    I have pre registered for the London game but would like to know when I will need to be glued to the laptop to try and buy.

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

     

     

    Hey NI,

     

    If you've done the pre-registering via the NFLUK/Ticketmaster channels I suspect you'll be getting an email with details of dates prices of ticket sales very soon. I'm hoping something in the next few days as details of the international games tends to be officially known before the general NFL schedule release which looks set for 11 may.

    We’ve been taking the Heathrow Express from the airport. It gets you into the City in just a few minutes and is way cheaper than a cab ride. Once at St Pancras Station, you can get anywhere on the Tube. You can get Express tickets online or right there at the airport. 

     

    When we go to London our train arrives at King Cross (joined onto St Pancras) and we tend to stay in hotels not far from there. 

     

    Gunner is probably better placed to advise on places to stay with him being from down there but the transport in London is so extensive and easy you really can't go wrong in terms of location.

    Leo, now I’ll apologize for butting in. My recommendation is to make sure your hotel is close to a Tube Station. The Tube is fantastic for getting around London, and you definitely do not need a car. We’ve always stayed in the Kensington area, which is just west of the City center and close to Earl’s Court; the main station that connects many of the London Underground lines. From Earl’s Court you can get to pretty much anywhere in just a few minutes. And regarding sightseeing, virtually all of the best known sites are within walking distance along the Thames River. It’s a full day for sure but within it you can see just about every place you’ve heard of. 

     

    Definitely have a good walk if you can. If you get lost, just search on your phone for the nearest tube station. You'll lever be far from one.
