Sports letter: Wembley prices far too high
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sir: Too right, Glenn Moore (Fans snub Wembley evening, 26 March). It's about time more was written and spoken about the prices at Wembley for international games. I'm sick of hearing commentators criticise football fans for not "supporting" England.
My son has never been to an international game at Wembley because we can't afford to buy a seat that is not level with the turf with a view of the footballers studs and little else.
Apart from the extortionate prices of the tickets - what about the booking fees that Wembley Box Office charges? How many other organisations charge you a booking fee when you ring them direct?
My son has been to see his local team, Luton Town, a number of times now. Many of his visits have been free because of Luton's policy of circulating local schools with concessionary tickets.
Why pay all that money to see a probable lousy performance anyway? We'd rather spend the money on a couple of videos of Brazil or Italy.
Yours sincerely
LENA CALVERT
Luton, Bedfordshire
