Also even when there is play, it's half a mile away and you can barely see what's going on.

Plus you're surrounded by the sort of pissed up twats who go to the cricket*.

It's almost as bad as going to the rugby**.

Getting to that time of year again. I'm not expecting ours to be frozen. Not with all these badge redesigns we have to fund.

https://theathletic.com/5285601/2024/02/19/arsenal-season-ticket-increase/

4-6% increase at the Arse.

"We are also continuing to make investments to improve the matchday experience for our supporters at Emirates Stadium."

"Arsenal announced a five per cent increase in season ticket prices and the reducing the number of games included in a season ticket from 26 to 22 in February 2023."

I’m expecting a double figured percentage rise again. I’ve got absolutely no evidence for this other than I think the club view us as a captive audience who will pay anything.

I agree with Paul, double figures 10-15% increase across the board is my guess

The cricket is not for me. The thought of sitting next to loads of piss heads dressed as traffic cones does not appeal.

I think there’d be uproar if it gets to double figures again.

I wouldn’t mind drinking, but the problem I have is that the alcohol is what a lot of the idiots are there for. The cricket is just a backdrop and excuse for it.

On the other hand, if you're going to bang through a double figure percentage price increase, qualifying for the Champions League is absolutely the time to do it.

Heck is probably pacing around his office right now, going on about this and shouting "Let's screw those COCKSUCKERS for every penny we can!".

That's some away fans for you as well. Watch that ridiculous Davo's Diary as an example.

Its classic FOMO at the moment because the team are doing so well. Like others i'm expecting a double digit increase which whilst I can afford it i'm sure other may struggle. I'd be happier if people who sat in Z1 and 2's increases were more than those in say 3 or 4 as I'd imagine, and happy to be proved wrong, any increases may be more affordable on the basis you can already afford higher priced tickets.

In Z2 my ticket is currently £41 a game, I think that's about fair for a mid table team with higher aspirations but for one thats gets in the Champs League and is competing at the top end of table, Id say £45 to £50 in Z2 is more realistic for next season. But that's the "value" as I perceive it, others will of course be different.
