I think it's just that most of us don't get charged these prices, or anything like, for other games, so it just highlights to us how outrageous the match by match prices are.
It's a general reaction to those prices, rather than being related to this specific match.
It certainly will be for some Arsenal fans related to me.
Posting on Facebook that they're getting free tickets courtesy of Ray Bloom and that they'll have some for sale :facepalm:
Only when compared to the match by match prices that most of us never pay.
I'm sure they're set so high precisely so that this argument can be used in an instance such as this.
It's not unique to the Albion, but it also doesn't make it "reasonable".
I'm still going to pay up, though!
