Another frustrating morning for many of the Arsenal supporters arrived yesterday as tickets for the final game of the season went on sale for silver members. With the Gunners in a title race, fans have clamoured to see their beloved club in what might go down in history should they lift the Premier League trophy and this fixture in particular could have bear witness to that very moment.
Of course, for a game of this magnitude, the demand for seats was always going to be at its potential peak for the season. However, the club has faced issues throughout the campaign with what was once a relatively accessible process for the majority of those that wanted to get tickets through their memberships or on the ticket exchange, to now seeing seats vanish quicker than Bournemouth’s first goal at the Emirates this season.
Arsenal have acknowledged the existence of bot traffic and touts and said in February that they are “working extensively to address these issues and clamp down on this illegal activity. We want to keep supporters updated with progress on this.”
