Tickets for this friendly range from £40 for the nosebleeds to £150 for a seat where you can smell the grass. Let’s do the math: £150 divided by 90 minutes is £1.67 per minute of action. That’s more expensive than a cup of coffee, and you can’t even reheat it at halftime.
But you’ll pay it anyway, because you love the club. Or because you have a weird obsession with watching millionaires kick a ball in a summer heatwave. Either way, you’re now part of the ticket scramble. My advice? Set an alarm, clear your browser cache, and sacrifice a goat to the football gods. Good luck—you’ll need it.
And remember: after the match, you can always buy a £12 Arsenal scarf to wipe your tears away. COYG (Come On You Gunn—and also, Your Wallet).
