Arsenal suffered a 0-3 defeat at the hands of Brighton in the last round of the Premier League, and the road to winning the title seems to be out of reach. This sudden defeat has caused the price of tickets for the final, which had skyrocketed due to speculation by "scalpers", to plummet from its peak of 53,000 pounds (about HK$520,000) to 250 pounds (about HK$2,450), which, although still higher than the normal price, seems to have a tendency to fall further.
A month ago, Arsenal's title call was soaring, as if the Premier League title was already in their pocket. Many "fans" were eagerly looking forward to witnessing this historic moment and celebrating with the team, so the tickets for the final match against Wolves at home on May 28th triggered a rush, and some people even sold them on online platforms at the sky-high price of 53,000 pounds each.
However, with Arsenal's hopes of winning the title gradually dashed, the price of "scalped tickets" has also plummeted, and the "sky-high ticket" has fallen to 250 pounds.
The normal price of Arsenal's home lower tier tickets is 73 pounds (about 716 Hong Kong dollars), and it is expected that if the price of this 250 pounds of "scalped tickets" is not reduced, I am afraid that it is difficult to find buyers.
