Arsenal have raised ticket prices at the Emirates Stadium by 23% despite a seventh successive season without silverware.

Adult prices for 'Category A' fixtures, which cover games against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and top European opposition, will range from £62 to £126.

Gunners chief executive Ivan Gazidis has defended the increase.

He said: "We constantly aim to strike the right balance between offering tickets at affordable prices while also ensuring that we have sufficient income to re-invest in the squad."

The cheapest adult ticket at Arsenal next season will be available at £25.50 when the likes of Southampton and West Bromwich Albion visit North London.
