Arsenal will travel to Stamford Bridge this weekend to face Chelsea in the Premier League. The Gunners are leading the table by six points.

Chelsea are in second place. The Blues will be looking to reduce the gap by winning this game.

However, recent performances will give Arsenal fans hope to secure three points. But fans of the Gunners are not happy with their club.

According to The Sun, Arsenal fans have hit out at the club for charging almost £400 for a VIP stadium tour.

Supporters say the price feels excessive, especially when rival clubs offer similar experiences for a fraction of the cost.

The four-hour “VIP Legend Experience” costs £395 per person and includes a tour of the Emirates Stadium and lunch inside the Diamond Club.

Fans can also meet Ray Parlour, David Seaman, or Lee Dixon. The price has shocked many supporters because the same type of tour costs far less elsewhere.

Tottenham charge £60 for their VIP legend tour, with names such as Ossie Ardiles, Gary Mabbutt, Clive Allen and Micky Hazard.

Manchester United also offer a £60 tour with Norman Whiteside, while Manchester City charge £50 for their “Walk with a Legend” with Peter Barnes.

Liverpool offer a similar package for £55, which includes a Q&A with former players. Mark Mills, who runs the Arsenal East Sussex Supporters Club, says the price excludes ordinary fans.

Mills believes the club has moved away from its traditional supporter base. The reaction comes after a busy week for Arsenal on the pitch.

Mikel Arteta’s team beat Tottenham and then Bayern Munich, with strong performances from Declan Rice, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Martinelli.

Next, the Gunners will be looking to replicate their performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
