Finally something to cheer for

                       Last season being the 125th year of our Arsenal F.C since its foundation in 1886 saw the ticket prices shoot up and reach the skies.Mr. Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis took it as an opportunity to raise more money for him, Hill-wood and Kroenke(the 3 a**holes running our club) and hence all the merchandise prices were up as well.But it was commendable how the Arsenal fans still continued to show support for the club attending every match week in week out despite of all the gloom that had covered  the North London skies at the start of the last campaign.


                          
                   Finally the ticket prices have gone down but the case only holds for the non-season ticket holders for only half a season.Ticket prices for 'A' category games, of which there are two before the end of the year against Chelsea and Tottenham, will be on average £62, an increase of 23%.However, the top price of £126 will apply to around only 1% of available tickets in the 'A' band.The regrading of games into 'A', 'B' and 'C' categories will create approximately 90,000 lower-priced tickets for non season-ticket holders during the season.Prices in the 'C' band will be on average 28% lower than last season's equivalents with tickets against Sunderland on August 18 down to £25.50 compared to £35.00 last term.The lowest priced matchday ticket for next season will be £25.50."We constantly aim to strike the right balance between offering tickets at affordable prices, while ensuring we have sufficient income to reinvest in the squad," Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said.
