Tickets for the 2023 NFL London Games go on general sale this Thursday, however those who haven't registered may find themselves missing out.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play Buffalo Bills on October 8, while the Baltimore Ravens will face off with the Tennessee Titans on October 15 with both matches being played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, to claim tickets to the games being played, fans had to register by June 12 to be within a chance of securing tickets.

For those that have registered, they need to activate their Ticketmaster account ahead of the ticket sale here on Thursday June 22 at 12pm BST. Those who did register should have received a client reference number which they will need when activating their account.

The news that UK NFL fans have had to register in order to just be in the hat for tickets will be a source of anxiety after last year's debacle where there were reports of up to 300,000 people in the waiting room for tickets even before the tickets launched, with many left inevitably disappointed. To make matters worse, moments later tickets were going for over £300 on resale websites.

Anticipation is always high for the NFL European games, with both the UK and Germany playing host as part of the 23/24 season.

American Football has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years and demand for the 2023 games is expected to be fierce.

Meanwhile, the official NFL merchandise firm Fanatics has launched a 25% discount for UK fans using the code SHADE at checkout to maximise excitement among fans ahead of tomorrow's ticket launch.

How do I activate my account?

Once you have your reference number you can make a start. First you have to activate your account by clicking here.

On the Activate Account page, you should enter your new Client Reference Number and the email address you registered with. You will then be prompted to complete the registration form and click 'Complete Registration' to continue.

You will then be directed back to the login page to login with your client reference number and new password that you set during the activation process. Prior to the sale starting at 12pm on Thursday June 22, there will be a waiting room in place. At 12pm, everyone in the waiting room will be allocated a place in the queue at random.

Registering for tickets gives you access to the sale. It does not guarantee you tickets, which are subject to availability.

How much will the tickets for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium games cost?

Depending on where you want to sit in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium the prices will be different and you can get tickets for individual games or a season ticket for the two games.
