Arsenal have once again frozen ticket prices and will also provide a further discount to traveling fans for the 2017/18 season.

Arsenal have frozen general admission ticket prices for the eighth time in 12 years.

They will also be selling 26,000 League Cup tickets for a tenner, and offering a further discount for traveling away fans.

Away tickets have already been capped at £30 but Arsenal will be taking off a further £4, making each away ticket £26.

“Our ticketing approach is designed to ensure we have as many people attending games at Emirates Stadium as possible and helps encourage the next generation of Arsenal fans to come to games and experience the thrill of live matches,” Ivan Gazidis said.

“It also pays special recognition to supporters who travel up and down the country to watch the team play.”

Last season, Arsenal’s most expensive season ticket was £2,013 – the highest in the Premier League. Their cheapest, which cost £1,014, was also the highest ‘cheap’ season ticket in the league..

The second highest in the League was Tottenham.

Fortunately, after the Gunners failed to earn Champions League football last season for the first time in almost two decades, the club took £185 off the cost of season tickets, which will make the most expensive £1,828 – lower than Tottenham’s – and the cheapest £814, which is still the highest ‘cheap’ season ticket in the league.

While the price of Arsenal’s tickets is still shockingly high, so are the rest of the league’s, and while the Gunners haven’t won the Premiership in almost 13 years, Spurs haven’t won it for 56 years and haven’t won a trophy at all since 2007/2008 (League Cup).

So, what really warrants them asking for so much, especially as they only finished above Arsenal for the first time since 1995 last season?

It’s disappointing and fans are getting priced out but with transfer fees and wages sky-rocketing year-on-year, there’s probably very little chance of ticket prices coming down.

At the moment, freezing them and capping away ticket prices while reducing League Cup fees is a decent enough step in the right direction.
