Why Premier League tickets are hard to get
Most Premier League clubs sell home tickets to season-ticket holders and paying members first. At the biggest clubs — Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea — members often need loyalty points from previous purchases, so very few tickets ever reach general sale.
For a fan in Korea making one trip a season, this means the official route is rarely practical — you would pay for a membership and still compete with local fans who have years of points.
Your three options
1) Club membership: an annual fee gives you priority access, but not a guaranteed seat for big matches. 2) Official hospitality: packages with a seat, food and lounge access — reliable but expensive. 3) A resale marketplace such as Enttix: no membership needed, you choose the exact listing on a seat map, and the price shown is the total you pay.
Booking step by step on Enttix
Find the match on the team or Premier League page and compare listings on the seat map. Check each listing's notes — for example 'home fans only', age restrictions or restricted view. When you start checkout, your seats are held for 9 minutes while you pay.
On the Korean site you pay in Korean won through a domestic payment window, and the merchant is Diplat Laps Co., Ltd., a registered Korean company. You get an order confirmation email straight away, and your mobile tickets are sent 2–3 days before the match — you can follow every step in My Page.
Plan around kick-off changes
The fixture list is published in June, but many matches are moved for UK TV broadcasting, usually announced several weeks ahead. A Saturday game can move to Sunday or Monday, and cup or European fixtures can push league games around. Tickets normally stay valid for the new date, so book flexible flights and hotels where you can.
Travel tips from Korea
Direct flights from Incheon to London take around 14–15 hours. The UK is 8 hours behind Korea in summer and 9 hours behind in winter, so a 15:00 kick-off is 23:00 or midnight in Seoul. Check the UK's current entry requirements, such as the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), well before you fly.
