You know with how easy it is there days to find different income streams, Im actually a little surprised at the outrage here. The cost of life will continue to go up, there are ways for a lot of people to offset it.
£90 for Arsenal away in the cup?
- Thread starter MancunianAngels
- Start date
You should spread the word mate. I'm sure those struggling by on low incomes would love to hear how easy it is.
It's always really easy to identify those who never go to games in these types of threads
It’s just another reason not to go to the worst away on the calendar.
Is this a serious post
After reading this post I skipped my morning Greggs and bought three Arsenal away.
I tried Only Fans but nobody wanted to see my portly body.
What next? Please advise.
Hope these price increases don't affect your sideline as a ticket tout too much.
Not applying at that price. Depressing as well seeing some of the attitudes in this thread.
Just for reference to those that don't know, it's £30 to attend every away game in the Premier League.
£90 is nonsense, especially considering the reputation of the FA Cup these days.

Man United has 50,000 season ticket holders, yet the stadium capacity is 74,310 and the stadium is full every week. That means an extra 24,310 people are buying match day tickets every week.
Isn't that to reward the fans that have home season tickets as they are the ones that get offered away tickets first?
It's just the price cap imposed by the Premier League to save away fans money.
Even Spurs away in the League Cup is only slightly more than that though for example. £90 is a a rip off for an FA Cup tie if it ends up being true, for both home and away fans.
Fair enough.
Yeah it is a lot of money, but if fans are willing to pay it then bigger fool them. Capitalism is all about supply and demand, they know there are fans that will just pay it anyway unfortunately.
Do Man Utd charge £90 a ticket to all 24,000 of those for every game?
The answer isn't yes. Partly because it would be dumb and partly because there is a PL price cap due to it being obvious exploitation.
People go on about it being because the fans still pay/captilalism are the same ones who cause this sort of thing to happen, because they only give a sh*t if it personally affects what they can afford.
I never said they did, I was making an example with an arbitrary number of 10,000 and showing how an extra £30 a game over 20 games would be £6 mill.
My whole point was questioning your original post where you basically wrote what is an extra £30 to Arsenal, and that it could pay the wage of Saka for a week.
Saka is on £250,000 per week. A club would have to sell 8350 tickets to cover that for 1 game. Imagine if a club sold that many tickers every game at an extra £30. They would have basically paid for Saka's annual salary and more.
Even a £5 hike in a mass market economy definitely makes a difference as there are so many people purchasing the product.
It's sad player wage inflation have far exceeded average inflation resulting in this terrible situation.
Sod that, even if I were able to go. £90 is a piss-take. They are squeezing fans until the pips squeak, to paraphrase Denis Healey, and he was on about property speculators.
London prices.
Beer is cheap though!

Where is the beer cheap? Certainly isn't at Arsenal.
Is that you Jim?
After significant lobbying from fan groups (both United and Arsenal's), Arsenal cancelled plans to make this a Cat A game
Ticket prices will now be a maximum of £46 - a solid victory for fan power
