ARSENAL fans have been left outraged after finding out they must fork out £79 for a ticket to their away game against Atletico Madrid.
The Gunners take on the Spanish club on May 3 in the second-leg of their semi-final at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
However supporters were shocked to find out they must spend over £80 including the booking fee to go and watch what could be a crunch tie.
And to add insult to injury, the Atletico fans travelling to the Emirates for the first leg on April 26 will pay just £37.50 for their entry.
The Arsenal faithful took to social media to slam the prices and also urged the club to subsidise the tickets.
Twitter user @SantinoBoffa said: “£79 a ticket for Atletico away?! @Arsenal I hope you’re charging the away fans the same and using this to subsidise our tickets. Disgraceful”

@john_clubb fumed: “Madrid away is going to cost about me £800. Ticket a rip off, flights a rip off – then there’s hotels, beer, grub. Are you going to help us travelling fans @Arsenal to reduce that cost? Atlético are mugging us off and you need to do something about it.”
And @garythegooner56 raged: “Why are the Spanish clubs fleecing the English fans. The club’s may be rolling in it but the supporters certainly aren’t.
MKHI SO FINE Henrikh Mkhitaryan could return for Arsenal to face Atletico Madrid in Europa League semi-final
“With the booking fee Atletico away is over £80 a ticket and I bet you’ll be in the worst part of the stadium.”
It looks likely to be another expensive trip for the away contingent with the cheapest flights to Madrid on the day of the game and returning the next being at least £230.
