If I heard correctly, Arsenal's new stadium is 60k capacity and they expect to take an extra £2m per game. How does that work? Highbury's capacity was 38500 so that's an extra 21500 seats at £93 each?
They'll have a lot more executive boxes than they had at Highbury. Interesting phone-in on Radio 5 yesterday with a guy from Arsenal about ticket prices, some people complaining about the prices, but as he pointed out - they still have a waiting list of 30,000 for season tickets!
I figured it'd be stuff like that, but even so Gate receipts at Old Trafford are about £2m per sell-out so an EXTRA £2m to what they were getting at Highbury is some step up. Ground looks superb, though.
