Arsenal fans will love this gesture from the club

Arsenal will subsidise supporters for tickets for their huge tie with Atletico Madrid in the Europa League.

The Gunners host Diego Simeon’s side in the first leg of their semi-final next week and fans of the Spanish club have been priced £36.50 tickets.

However, Atletico have set the price for away fans at  £79m for the return fixture, which has left Gooners hoping to attend the match angry.

The Express claim Arsenal have offered to help their fans by making up the difference, thus ensuring that those travelling will pay no more for their tickets than Atletico’s.

Arsenal supporters’ liaison officer Mark Brindle said: “We know our match in Madrid is already shaping up to be an expensive one for our supporters with the early May Bank Holiday increasing travel costs.

Arsenal fans have decided to stay away from the Emirates in recent weeks.

“On top of this, our fans are being asked to pay a higher ‘non-member’ price for their tickets to Estadio Metropolitano.

“We’ve decided to subsidise tickets for the second leg, meaning our travelling fans will spend the same as those from Atletico.

“Our travelling fans are the lifeblood of the club and we hope this measure helps to make their journey to Spain a little easier.”

Arsenal fans already pay the most to watch their team play in the Premier League. Thankfully, the club have made the Europa League semi-final clash more affordable.
