adminLONDON — Arsenal fans are snubbing next week’s glamour Champions League soccer clash with Bayern Munich because of sky-high ticket prices.Season-ticket holders must pay between £62 and £132 to attend the first leg of the last-16 showdown. And that has put off supporters whose season tickets do not cover the Bayern game.
Steven Maxwell, who pays £1 995 for his gold-level season ticket, will miss the match after being quoted £117.98 for his usual seat. He said: “I take no pleasure in doing this. It’s like fighting with a loved one. Arsenal are like a girlfriend who doesn’t love you back.’
Arsenal Supporters’ Trust spokesman Tim Payton said: “We are very concerned. Season-ticket holders have already paid up to £2 000 in advance — the highest in world football. Their commitment deserves better. Arsenal’s grasping approach will have a detrimental effect on the noise in the ground, harming the team’s chances for an important game. — Mailonline.
