General sale for arsenal

[Pretty pink fairy]

Yes, and they still won't get close to selling out. The Arsenal prices are the same as for the Forest game and any other category A fixtures.

But its not a league game

It's been priced correctly if it sells out.

Blackburn are a different kettle of fish. They won't sell out, even with those prices.

As its the FA Cup with proceeds split 50/50 how much say do Arsenal get on pricing

Blackburn are charging £20 max for their FA cup game at home to Swansea

Which just goes to show what a bargain £32 is.

For just £12 extra, not only will the game be taking place in the of the more prosperous area of the UK rather than that grim armpit, you also will have a great view, from a padded seat, with free wifi and your train fare paid for. Not to mention you will also be watching one of the worlds top teams strut their stuff on our hallowed turf.

Add to that the great atmosphere in a bulging crowd of 30000 rather than a half empty Ewood park, and you have probably just underscored what a bargain it is!

EDIT. I bet the Blackburn fans will not get a stress on like me if tickets went on sale a bit earlier!

What's that got to with anything? It's a category A game, which has a set pricing structure. Unless you'd rather pay more to watch Forest than Arsenal?.

And it'll sell out at £32+. Good job you're not in charge of the club's finances.

You're not going so the cost of the tickets don't matter to you.

I just re-read my post and can confirm I said nothing about the people of Blackburn.

Would have sold out even quicker at £1.

Well, yes. Probably sold out even quicker if they'd made the tickets a tenner or even a fiver. BoF's point is perfectly valid; if the match sells out then the pricing structure was well-chosen and fair, maybe even a bit cheap by modern standards. (Notwithstanding that I agree with points you've made in the past that football tickets are ridiculously over-priced, and the new clientele who can afford the prices aren't the sort of people who used to go to football. That however is another point entirely)

I very much doubt it, you never go to games, in fact I probably attend more games than you and I live well over 200 miles away, and you're not very far from Brighton.

Your constant whining about everything to do with the way the club is run, is nothing short of boring!

In the nicest possible way, if you think £32 is too much to watch Arsenal when demand would have probably meant over 40,000 could be sold at these prices, then, quite frankly, watching live football may not be for you.

The cost of our football was subsidised to the tune of £10m by our chairman last year and this draw is a great opportunity for the club to earn some dosh that would otherwise been unavailable. It might even cover 5% of that loss and it would be plainly irresponsible of the club to sell the tickets any cheaper.

The proceeds are not split 50/50
