Disgusting

Does the £93 include the cucumber sandwich and a glass of pimms :)

Re: £93 for Liverpool fans at Arsenal

Bitter jealousy is on hand to see in this thread. People who hate Arsenal for doing things the proper way.

Err.... And the proper way being what? Charging more for a game than it would to go to Wembley for a semi or final?
Riiight, whereas we charged £1 for kids and £15 for adults at the weekend....

I think he was fishing...

It was obvious sarcasm not fishing.
I thought that was plain to see, obviously not.

Re: £93 for Liverpool fans at Arsenal

Utterly disgusting. And we're ruining football.

Re: £93 for Liverpool fans at Arsenal

No matter. The scousers will steal their allocation anyway. Probably take the seats too.

why not, they'll be paying enough.

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

Re: £93 for Liverpool fans at Arsenal

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.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Have these prices been verified or have they just been subjected to Internet inflation?

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Arsenal-The biggest set of hypocrites in football.

Wenger - "It is wrong to sell one of your players to a main rival"
Lets start shall we....
Nasri to City
Adebayor to City
RVP to the scum
Clichy to City

Seriously does this guy ever stop to think before he opens his gob.

Then it comes to calling other clubs for ruining football yet proceed to charge £63 and £93 for tickets!!!!!!

They are a club supported by highly paid lawyers,solicitors,bankers (or should that be wankers) and are not in the real world.

 

[M18CTID]

Not sure - I think it depends on whether Arsenal make it a Category A game, in which case these prices will apply. They might not of course but when you consider that Arsenal fans get their first 7 CL and FA Cup games included in their season ticket price meaning this will be one of those games, then they may well use the attractiveness of this match to try and maximise as much revenue as possible from the remaining ticket sales.

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.

Promised Land: when your club's fans get so desensitised to rising ticket prices that you can charge them £120 to see their teams kids and reserves play Macclesfield in the League Cup.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Arsenal bow to pressure, the game now being classed a Cat B

Wankers for inflating prices but good they saw sense

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.

 

[Jimfv1]

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 ?

 

[hihosilva]

Tough game tonight for Arsenal- I think Southampton could nick this one.

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