Ticketing problems

According to the British media The Times, Arsenal announced “in good faith » that supporters who have a ticket in their possession for the match against Bayern will benefit a free ticket to a future Women's Super League match at the Emirates. In addition, they will receive full compensation and priority access to the Meadow Park ticket office for a future meeting.
Equality for all.
