Arsenal has confirmed a 10% reduction in the price of season
ticket renewals for gold members, after the club failed to qualify for next
season’s Champions League.
The Gunners beat Everton 3-1 in their final Premier League
game of the season on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to prevent them finishing in
fifth, following Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Middlesbrough.
“We have previously announced that there will be no increase
to GA pricing for Premier League, Emirates FA Cup and League Cup games in
Season 2017/18,” they revealed in a season ticket renewal email on Monday.
“The club has always considered that pricing for the Europa
League would be different from the Champions League so we have reviewed our
approach for next season and have applied a discount on your season ticket for
the Europa League element.”
Some fans had been hoping that they would be given the
option to opt out of Europa League fixtures altogether, but that is not the
case.
“Your season ticket will continue to include admission to
all 19 home Premier League matches and the first seven home cup matches in
European competitions and the Emirates FA Cup, subject to match categorisation
held at Emirates Stadium,” the email explained.
