Arsenal fans welcome Bayern late-comers after ticket price protest

Tom Victor

Ticket prices in football have been a hot topicĀ of late, and Bayern Munich fans let their feet do the talking during their trip to Arsenal.

A number of Bayern supporters entered the Emirates Stadium five minutes late to protest about some of the high charges, and their Arsenal counterparts showed their support for the statement.

Loud applause rang around the ground when the late-comers arrived, suggesting a reasonable number in North London are on the same page as the Germans.

A supporters group for the Bundesliga champions agreed on the protest after discovering that tickets for tonight’s game would set them back Ā£64…before postage and shipping costs.

We’ll wait and see whether the move will encourage top clubs to consider bringing down the cost of football for away supporters, especially those already forking out a significant amount on flights and hotels for European away games.
