[Calum]

really a point of increasing them for the sake of a pound?

 

[Joel`]

Extortionate bastards.

 

[I Like Pie]

They win drain our wallets once more..

£70,000 per game - Say 23 home games in a season, looking at a good £1.6m extra profit for 'the sake of a pound'.

 

[Donnelly1]

A quid is nothing compared with arsenal raising by 4% even though they are already the most expensive season tickets in world football.

23 home games? Surely its only 19. I believe all cup games are sold seperatly.

Although it dosent sound alot the Glazers will make quite abit of money out of this to pay off the debts they have. Nice for them.

Yeah, taking into account fa cup, league cup, champions league - would equate to around 23-25 home games.

Inflation and VAT will eat up anything made. It's very unlikely we'll see any profit.

yeah there basically isnt profit, it's only a 5.8% rise, minus 2.5% vat and whatever inflation currently is

 

[GodCubed]

So it's basically just to counteract inflation? Meh, had to happen some time I guess.

4%. Will hopefully drop during next season though.

Such a non-story.

 

[Andy]

Season ticket will now be over 850 quid next year. Expensive considering the cup games.

 

[Billy]

North or South Upper?

North stand centre.

Nothing for you....

They said when they announced the increase that it was just to go with the VAT increase, which they had been absorbing since January.
