From 2016/17 season.

Viewed from the side, it looks a bit like a fat man laughing his head off. Which, given the topical debates on ticket prices, is probably quite apt.

Let's face it, Easy 10, the fans were NEVER going to benefit from extra cash for the PL. They can dress it up all they like, change logos and drop the sponsor's name and all that, but with the amount of cash sloshing about at the top of the game, ticket prices could AT LEAST be frozen if not reduced.

Yup.

Greed rules though. All the while they're filling stadiums why should they care ? The only way prices will ever reduce is if you start getting swathes of empty seats week-in, week out. And even then, they don't really *need* the fans money, it just looks a bit bad if major gaps start appearing. We've not yet reached that tipping point though, because there are plenty of people who will still pay through the nose for this "product". The perpetual hype machine that is the PL is an extremely powerful business model that exploits fans loyalty, as well as the affluence of the more casual fans who haven't yet been priced out of the stadiums. Some can even afford to buy season tickets and not always bother attending, which is apparently quite a factor at Arsenal (and not unheard of at the Amex either...)

Depressing innit.
