The clubs never cared about the fans in the past, either.
It's economics, supply and demand. Nothing forces you to go and pay this. If people are willing to pay it they will and if they aren't then the seats will be empty and the prices will come down. If you look at ticket exchange websites/touts there's clearly a market for £100 tickets for the big games.

The reason concert ticket prices went shooting up was that promoters saw their £40 tickets being snapped up on ebay & the like for £100+ and realised what they could get away with.
The game has really changed. The clubs don't actually care about the fans.
