Arsenal CL Ticket Prices!!

I don't blame them...absolutely disgusting prices...
..................

Arsenal fans are snubbing next week’s glamour Champions League clash with Bayern Munich because of sky-high ticket prices.
Season-ticket holders must pay between £62 and £132 to attend the first leg of the last-16 showdown.
And that has put off supporters whose season tickets do not cover the Bayern game.


Steven Maxwell, who pays £1,995 for his gold-level season ticket, will miss the match after being quoted £117.98 for his usual seat. He said: ‘I take no pleasure in doing this. It’s like fighting with a loved one. Arsenal are like a girlfriend who doesn’t love you back.’
Arsenal Supporters’ Trust spokesman Tim Payton said: ‘We are very concerned. Season-ticket holders have already paid up to £2,000 in advance — the highest in world football. Their commitment deserves better. Arsenal’s grasping approach will have a detrimental effect on the noise in the ground, harming the team’s chances for an important game. 
‘Ivan Gazidis (Arsenal’s chief executive) promised that when commercial revenues rose it would reduce ticket price increases. To date, those are just empty words.’ 



By contrast, Bayern are paying £24.80 towards the cost of their supporters’ £60 tickets for the match.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is prioritising Wednesday’s visit of Bayern over the home FA Cup tie against Liverpool on Sunday, when he is considering resting key men.

Wojciech Szczesny, Mikel Arteta, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud could all miss the match against a side who thrashed Arsenal 5-1 last Saturday.

Unfortunately, you will always get someone who's willing to pay it......so the prices won't come down.

Season ticket holders should get all cup tickets at a reduced rate, general sale tickets should be priced higher.

As the lad said, loyalty isn't even considered anymore.

It always irks me when gooners bleat on about how they run their club the "right" way. Apparently, a lot of them don't seem to mind that the right way is to fleece each one of the fifty-odd thousand fans who turn up. I envisage their ticket office being manned by a couple of dozen people dressed up as Dick Turpin.

And I find it even more incredible that, when I tell them my season ticket is £500 and even the most expensive is only just dearer than their cheapest, they get all arsey about how we're being bankrolled by a rich bloke and we're basically cheating!

I really do get the impression they've been duped by some seriously amazing PR, because it's not like they're watching the greatest team in the world who win loads of trophies. It's about time they cottoned on to it.

Trouble is they are queuing up to spend it, there is still a waiting list FFS. It must be all those streets paved with gold down there.

I know. There must be some serious brainwashing going on, considering they buy one player every blue moon and haven't won anything in eight years.

Apparently, they have £140m sitting in a bank account....they don't spend the money but increase season tickets by 3%....no wonder the Gooners are going mental..
