Sutton are charging £35 for a seat or £30 to stand for their FA Cup tie against Arsenal. That's a pretty disgraceful way to rip off your loyal supporters. Isn't there an FA ruling that you have to charge your normal prices for FA Cup ties.

Not sure about this
Although I don't think we would make such a move I would not object if we did
1. Sutton only get a proportion of the gate anyway
2. I don't know for certain but, special offers aside, this may still be the cheapest standard price to watch Arsenal "first" team this season
3. They could probably still fill the ground if they charged £50

You have the right to be outraged and also the right to express same. In a similar fashion I can say I am not outraged for the reasons already given and wish Sutton the very best of luck |

As a Sutton fan for many years I don't begrudge the club for making the increase. Sutton fans were offered the cheapest season ticket in the National League, so paying £30 for the Arsenal game is ok with me.  |

This is such a fantastic cup tie I don't think Sutton can be blamed for trying to maximise their income Or have they, Maybe they are also tipping their hat a little to their own support because I am sure they could have sold out at £40 or £50 |
