There's no way I'm paying $200 for Category A, especially to see Ainsley Maitland-Niles and The Jeff. I'm going for Category D in the Arsenal Active section - I'm a member of Arsenal Australia so we get some kind of pre sale tomorrow morning - Friday 15th at 10am. This is what their email said:
"Following our discussions we are pleased to announce that you, as a Member, will not only receive a special opportunity to pre-purchase your tickets before they go on sale to the general public, but also the opportunity to access a dedicated Arsenal 'Active' area of the stadium, which will be known as the 'North Bank'. This will definitely bring back fond memories for our 'mature' fans who experienced the old Highbury Stadium.
We want to turn this section of the stadium, especially, into a sea of red and white, so we strongly encourage you to purchase your tickets in the North Bank, to create a unique Gooner occasion for us all to savour for many years to come.
The Arsenal 'Active' area is located on Level 1, Category D, and we would like as many of you as possible to purchase seats in bays 119-1, 118-1, 117-1 and 120-1. These bays are directly behind the goal in the North Bank, where we will waving our flags, banners and scarves to cheer on the Gunners and only costs a mere $59 for an Adult ticket!!"
It is a long way from those seats to the other goal but it should be fun in there. This whole "North Bank" thing is a bit naff. They're even going to put the hard core Wanderers Fan at the other end and call it the Clock End. Hmmm.
