Arsenal Supporters' Trust slams ticket price increase as statement released

The Arsenal Supporters' Trust has released a statement slamming the club’s decision to increase ticket prices. The Gunners confirmed a series of ticketing changes on Tuesday that will see prices rise by an average of 3.9 percent for a general admission season ticket.

And in response to the update, the trust released a statement which said: “We are disappointed that the FSA’s ‘Protect the Fans, Protect the Game’ proposals calling for a ticket price freeze across all Premier League clubs has not been taken up. Neither the Premier League nor Arsenal have seriously engaged with the idea that a freeze at all clubs would help stop the ‘arms race.

“We firmly believe that with the football sector benefitting from ever-increasing broadcast and commercial revenues it is time to stop squeezing match-going supporters so hard.

“We now expect both Arsenal and the Premier League to give more explanation as to why they have chosen to ignore the compelling case for a price freeze put forward by the ‘Protect the Fans, Protect the Game’ campaign, which was overwhelmingly backed by supporters including all representative members of the Arsenal Advisory Board (AAB).”
