Wenger Not Keen on Ticket Protests

There's been a lot of recent controversy over ticket prices across the country, most notably, the Liverpool fans who left in union at the 77th minute for £77 tickets during their draw against Sunderland. Our club has also come under negative attention as we raised the ticket prices for our upcoming clash against Barcelona.

Leicester fans have organized a protest in the beginning of the huge match this weekend, similar to what the Bayern fans did during the Champions League. Of course, after seeing what the Liverpool fans have done to their board, fans all over the Premier League who have to pay high prices have hope that there can be change.

Arsene Wenger thinks that this isn't necessary.

"You can protest before and after but during the game you want everybody to be there

"Life is not every day fantastic," he said,

"Sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's difficult for many people.

"Football is a moment of happiness in your life, so don't miss it."

He's also defended our changes in pricing last week, saying that, "we're also a company."

"It is a very complicated subject," the boss said.

"Our most expensive price is a fraction higher than the other clubs in London. Our most common ticket price is lower than many places in England. I don't think that we have a massive problem on that front."

Wenger also said that the league does recieve lots of TV money, but there was pressure to "pay for the players with a higher price".

"You want the ticket prices to be as comfortable as possible for our fans. Our cheapest prices are cheaper than anywhere in London."

I definitely get where he's coming from, even if a lot of the things he's saying may spark anger with some, and that's also understandable because not everyone's made of money.

At the end of the day, football is about the fans, which sounds like a cliché, but without us there's nothing to play for.
