season ticket pricing by IG

[piresistible]

I think people are getting a little carried away with the disappointments this season and missing some very important points-
It’s not Arsenal alone that is severely facing a backlash from the supporters.Man Utd, Chelsea are all drawing flak for increasing the prices.
Also it will only be fair to compare Arsenal with the other top London clubs,CFC and THFC.
Chelsea-adult season tickets from GBP595 to GBP1250
Tottenham-adult season tickets from GBP690 to GBP1800
Arsenal-adult season tickets from GBP985 to GBP 1955
But the single most significant data is that everybody club’s season ticket is a 19 home matches package where fans have to pay on top for the other competitions except Arsenal.Arsenal alone includes seven matches from the other competitions in the season ticket.So Arsenal season ticket is a 26 home matches package.
Looking at it,the average ticket price for one match included in the season ticket is
Chelsea-GBP31 to GBP 66
Tottenham-GBP36 to GBP95
Arsenal-GBP38 to GBP75
So if Chelsea and Tottenham include the additional minimum seven matches from other competitions like Arsenal do, then the season ticket prices will be something like-
Chelsea-GBP806 to GBP1716
Tottenham-GBP936 to GBP2463
Arsenal-GBP985 to GBP1955
So actually, our neighbours have costlier tickets than us inspite of not guaranteeing a Champions League spot next season.
Chelsea have comparable prices even though most of the expenses are borne directly by their owner.
To conclude, dear Gooners, get over it.

As the 6.5% increase will generate an extra £4.5m, I look forward to my free scarf in August and my free flag in Feb/March (or December, if we are heading out the Champions League at the group stage).

What next paying to use the toilet?

DON'T give them idea's!

Although I'm sure once you've paid your 50p at the entrance to the turnstiles at the toilets. You’re treated in side to the new Arsenal Player on small plasma's built into the walls. This then of course makes the cost okay.

I've done this post to death. But why should we get over it!?

Why should I be paying £35+ to watch weakened teams play Leeds, Huddersfield & Orient? 2 of which were replay in which we failed to beat teams at the first attempt. We should have got 2 credits this year.
That's not to mention the CL Group stages which year upon year is the opponents are getting weaker. 6-0 & a 5-1 score line.

It's still going to be around £37 pounds to watch players like Bendtner, Denilson, Eboue & co play teams like Stoke & Blackburn.

Also you missed out Liverpool. I know you based this on London but their ticket prices are just are high and there out of London and without CL football.

I am not saying it is right or justifying the fact that the board haven't taken the supporter on average income into consideration This is the first increase in three seasons, and we have a 10 year waiting list for season tickets so on a supply and demand basis it can be easily justified. Of course the story run last year will also come out again the waiting list for season tickets will evaporate and they wont be able to sell them all. When we exposed the lie that this story was last year (with a fairly detailed analysis of the way the waiting list system works), all the Anti-Arsenal Arsenal web sites then shut up very quickly and left the story. I guess the same will happen this year. Going to football is expensive If you want to go and see a show in the West End of London you can. True, it is often impossible to walk in to a show on a saturday night, but if you are willing to book a little while in advance most shows can be seen. If you are willing to go to a mid-week matinee then virtually everything is available. . Football however is in demand, and people will pay higher prices, so clubs can put prices up. That might not be a very comfortable situation, but it is capitalism. . Arsenal have now got the money that allows them to go out and buy who they want and there has been talk of another three players this summer. But what of the alternatives? Lower prices? Lower salaries for the staff and players? Smaller squad? All of these would enable the club to reduce the price of tickets, but would then also reduce the chance of playing in the Champions League every year. That in turn would reduce the income dramatically, and so lower the amount of money available for buying new players or developing young players. . The issue is about watching Arsenal. And Arsenal is a premium brand. If we want it to stay that way, we have to pay for it. If however you want a club without the Champions League each season you can of course campaign for lower prices.

Also its strange to see that commentators here feel that the price rise is justified bcoz of rising prices all over the nation. But can anyone explain why Arsenal is not renegotiating its commercial deals?? Is it against the law to renegotiate your deals?? The Board said its not the Arsenal way, but is it the Arsenal way to hit the supporters with a rise in ticket prices when there were other areas of business to improve upon?? Do our Board value our Sponsors more than our fans?? Many tough questions that have to be answered.

I was under the impression that the commercial deals couldnt be renegotiated until 2013. Cant remember where i got that from though so im not sure how true it is..

You'd think Emirates would want to be associated with a successful team not also-rans so if they had anything about them they should be receptive to a new deal. Maybe thats just me being naive

[n6gooner]

just got my renewal form.............up £127 (over 10%)!!!!!!!!

Just popped in a subtle but important change you need to make when taking to piresistible mate.

I think they should breakdown the price in a more understandable way.

Methinks the unused credit from the previous season was deducted from the 2010/11 ST price so probably better if you multiply the price you paid by 27/26 and then compare that with what you are being charged in 2011/12.

cheers. last year's renewal didn't make clear there was any reduction for unused credit

The reason for bringing it up it that Arsenal season ticket holders are so used to they take it as natural. But it looks as if we are the only club to include such an extra package to our season ticket.

And like you calculate it we are not paying that much more. The highest even paying less compared to Tottenham …

[marcengels]

The fact is priesistible, that we don't get a choice over cup games. We have to pay £1000 at the start of the season, and when things are tight and prices now so high, that extra £300 makes a big difference to many.

The point is about watching Arsenal. And these increases and an unwillingness to change these cup credits mean every year more loyal and long serving fans are turned away from Arsenal.

Remember you moron, that some of these people have been going since before the Champions League was invented, and the point was to support your team and watch a game of football.

You need to take your head out of your arse...prefereably for long enough so that someone can shoot you in the face. To me, you are just scum.

Bit harsh on piresistible there Marc, considering that he probably didn't actually write that stuff in the first place

Wait, so Im a moron because my views differ from yours? I think you are the moron for not getting to grip with reality. If you can’t afford to pay it then it’s simple init – DON’T GO.

Look at the price rise with the other clubs and you will notice how similar it is – and anyway if you don’t renew there is always someone else to take your place – so move over loser.
