Does anybody know the reason why Silver Membership has increased to £49 for this season? I may be wrong but I recall last season was around the £35 mark, seems like quite a jump with no real change to benefits etc...
Perhaps people are giving them up like a lot of STs are but I would be interested to know if anybody has any background on it...
Cheers.

Not sure but its a joke to be honest.
Its a 33% hike for the full version. Ive downgraded my DD to 'Lite'. Thats £39, so its only 3 quid more

When's you got the money? Arsenal know when you have the money available, and will expect it in their account 3 days after this date.

But you get bugger all with the cheap one! Fc*king outrageous price increase. It's almost as if someone up there wants it to be a tourist stadium.

Maybe Fans are cancelling their Memberships and not renewing their Season Tickets or maybe the American Owner wants to maximise Profit
I cancelled my membership last season, fed up with giving the club my money to make rich people even more money

Just logged in to renew my Red membership and to my surprise (or maybe it's not a surprise...) they've increased the prize with 20 percent.
I'm seriously thinking about not renewing it. But if I don't, it's going to take years before I get to Silver...

As a silver, I have no choice but to renew regardless of how much they charge... sadly, the club are well aware of that and bleed us dry with a 50% increase (£26 to £39).

The only thing that can justify it is the "Arsenal Player" coming with the membership, used to cost around £4? per month. Bit stupid that they're forcing you to pay for it though.
