I don't agree they're "very reasonable" but you're entitled to your opinion. Me, I won't pay £50 or more for a ticket to a game other than final.
But I'll make the point again that what any individual finds reasonable or unreasonable is entirely personal but largely irrelevant. I don't expect Soriano to ring round all 40,000 S/T holders to find out waht they all consider reasonable for a game like this. The problem is that, when setting prices before we've played the first leg, the club's main responsibility in respect of this historic tie should be to see the ground full, first and foremost. To provide the players with a good atmosphere rather than having to see swathes of empty seats.
They know the last match was far from a sell-out. They know we don't like the CL that much as a fan-base. So if they have any sort of feel for the club and us, the fans, if they have any sort of conception of what it means to be a fan or what passionate support will mean to a player, they would have sacrificed some potential income (and we're talking less than £150k here) in favour of a full-house, sold out even before the first leg takes place. But they haven't. They've chosen to potentially grub an extra £150k from us, for a game they're already getting £10m for playing.
It's so depressingly short-termist and proves why Soriano is a fucking shite CEO. Cook, for all his faults, would have got this priced right and sold-out within a week.
