So tickets at Arsenal have gone up 6.5% as suggested. I’ll try to update this later with some more thoughts – suffice to say, like many Arsenal fans, in the context of the wider economic climate this feels to me like a painful price rise.
First though, a poll aimed at season ticket holders:
Secondly, I had a play around with a tool called Storify following the announcement of price rises. It’s a curation tool that lets you import content from web pages, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, AudioBoo, RSS etc. I could have added a lot more content – tweets from others, mainly – but just did the below as a test. If you have any feedback let me know here, on Twitter or on the Facebook page.
Ok forget the Club level and media hype, but really people lets get some context here. I am not alone in having a beer and getting a programme. so the price raise is from £3 -£4 and max’s out at £6 -£7 per home game. My expediture is more, so if I want to hit back I save on the drinks and get to watch the game. I know some fans will have broken the bank to afford their tickets but don’t blame the club when it’s really in your hands.
Fair comment – doesn’t disguise that we pay the highest season ticket prices in the country.
