Ticket Prices - a favour!

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I usually only go if I can get the cheapest tickets. So to me the majority of tickets prices are unreasonable. On top of the ticket price I pay £26 per season for the membership that enables me to buy tickets and £1.60+ booking fee for each ticket

2. If not, would you consider boycotting the ground? Who could arrange a mass boycott and how? Would it make a blind bit of difference? I know something like this happened last season with the black bin bags but I'm not sure if that was down to pricing or performance, or both?
I would consider a boycott but this is easy for me to say as I only attend a few games a season! An ST holder who has already paid out has a lot more to lose. The black bin bags thing was a hoax that one supporter did to highlight empty seats at the stadium when the club was constantly announcing sell out attendances. It did the rounds on twitter and ended up being used by the media and snowballed into something more than it actually was

3. Have any of you been forced away from the game because of the escalating cost?
I am still able to go, but nowhere near as regularly as I'd like. The club has a huge match going fanbase, something like 180,000 members so the club is wise they can fill the ground with more people who are able to afford to go less often.

4. Any of you realistically can't afford it but make other sacrifices because you can't drag yourself away?
No, family and bills come first. I go as much as I can justify.

5. For a one-off match, what would you call a reasonable ticket price?
£40
