Cheap ass scousers want cheaper tickets

[Letters]

But the real fans suffer, all those emty seats at the Emirates before kick-off, half time, final whistle make me sick whilst im watching and living every moment from a shitty internet stream or the pub.

The tickets a so expensive, ive only seen arsenal once at the emirates but went to Highbury plenty of times and im only 26.

Sure, but we all want £40m signings and the money to pay their wages.
Gate receipts are a significant percentage of our income. I agree it's not right but nor are lots of things in the modern game.
Whaddaya do?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Don't blame the player, blame the game.



It's what we have to do to compete in a post Russian/Arab/Oil football world. The sooner UEFA have the balls to fully implement FFP the better for us all.

I hardly go to premiership games now. Think the last one was a few years ago against Chelsea (which my friend got tickets for but sold to me)

Either Carling Cup when its around a tenner, fa cup games, or the Emirates Cup in the summer.

As Letters said though, if you're not going to go, you'll get 100s of other fans who will.

Amen to that

I think the ticket prices arent too bad, tbh..

[footloose, the wanderer]

Initial post wasn't really aimed at 'pool supporters - mostly at who should be subsidising them....

Liverpool FC will pocket 45% of a reputed average gate of £3,000,000 - that's £1,350,000 - surely they could afford £10-20 subsidy for their 9,000 fans (£90-180,000) still leaving them with £1,170,000 -£1,260,000)?

Why should Arsenal FC have to reduce the cost for 'pool fans?

I'm going to have to start charging you 'administrative fees'.

Probably more reasonable than the booking fee they charge tbh.

The tickets are a fucking rip-off, they arent 'cheap scousers' theyre just fans, like me who want to watch their team but cant afford it.

You're right, they don't set the prices of tickets for their clubs either, on top of that the other thing is, the further north you go the less people earn generally, so essentially the cost of a ticket is higher for them.

We've got the 2nd biggest squad in Europe apparently, maybe we should trim it (get rid of players who maybe aren't really up to it) and also lose the players who are injury prone in our squad.

This may help a bit at least.
