The cheapest tickets will be the same £62 we paid but the £93 ones will be on offer if Liverpool take the full 15% allocation.

Liverpool ought to just take the lesser allocation of £62 tickets and politely decline the £93 ones. I know that's going to deny some of their fans the chance to get to this game because they've a big enough support base to sell 9000 tickets under normal circumstances but I doubt many of them would be willing to pay £93 a pop.

This is an FA Cup tie, both clubs have to agree on ticket prices, so what are LFC doing about it?

Ignore my previous post^ - the FA are sly buggers, when did they slip this into the regulations? 3 years ago on our run to the Final I recall we had to agree pricing with the opposition, can't remember if this applied last season as well but the below rule is definitely a recent change..

Competition Proper
Immediately after the draw is known, the Club playing at home shall decide on the
prices of admission, subject to a minimum price of £10.00 for all spectators other than
concessions.

If you want to shoot Arsenal fans down on the City/Chelsea rising ticket prices arguement - just direct them to page 22 (Page 28 in a .pdf reader) of the below .pdf

The link doesn't work for me, would you mind summarizing very briefly what I would have found there? Just the thrust maybe of how it shoots down the City/Chesea rising ticket prices argument.
 
I know the prices have now been reduced to cat B prices, but it's a bit rich to ask fans to pay this much money for a game when the manager has just signed an £8 million a year wage deal !

Now the Arsenal fans probably realise why they struggle to pay for the top players, the management skim off half the profits before the club think about signing players.

How can Arsene be paid more than twice what Pellegrini earns ?

good post. Agree entirely. They've won nothing for years but Wengers still been stashing his huge wages away.
