Arsenal legend supports controversial ticket price increase

Arsenal has decided to raise the season ticket prices by just 4%.

Gunners legend Kevin Campbell have supported the idea of raising season ticket prices and believes 4% is not an astronomical amount.

The club posted an after-tax loss of £107.3 million for the year ending 31 May 2021.

The season and match-day ticket prices will increase by four percent and a large section of Arsenal supporters claims the rise is unjustified.

Campbell said: “It was always going to be met by opposition.

“If I am correct, the ticket prices will not change for a while. Inflation is coming in. The price has to go up. The price of living is simply going up.

“At four per cent, I do not think it is astronomical. I think it is about right.

“The fact that Arsenal have had to up their prices is not going to clear the debts or the losses from Covid but it will help a little. The club had to do it.

“Fans want to pay as little as possible. I get that but at the end of the day, it is what it is.”
