you cant compare the NFL. If the premiership had 16 games in a season then people would be scratching peoples eyeballs out for tickets at every clubs stadium. so the comparison with the NFL is not even fair. And i am from the US and i live here and go to NFL games…. the atmosphere is a bismal compared to a premiership game. and where a city in england has 3 soccer teams per city (for example), there is one NFL team in a state, so you get the entire state supporting the team, not just 1/3 of the city. So IMO, english soccer just dominates…

I don’t blame Arsenal for having high ticket prices. With a season ticket waiting list of 30,000 people, Arsenal should charge an arm and a leg for a match ticket; especially a club which neeeds to fund a squad expected to compete in the Premiership and the European Cup.

Soccer was supposed to be a place for the British worker to unwind on Sat and cheer on his “tribe”. These prices have priced out the blue collar worker. Combine that with more matches on TV in the UK and you have your attendance problem.

During my two trips to Arsenal last season, the price for ONE ticket was 44.50GBP (about $80). Now I know Arsenal have the highest prices in the league, and I didn’t mind paying that price for the 4 home matches I saw, but there is no way i could justify a season ticket (or really even more than 8-10 matches a season) on those prices. I fear that Arsenal will have many poorly attended matches this season (particularly if our form stays the same!).
