Its the same principal at work here. Spurs vs A*****l is more of a draw than Spurs vs West Brom. Likewise, a CL semi-final is more of a draw than 2nd round CC or a bog standard EPL match.

I can understand clubs charging slightly more when they play bigger clubs but i've heard of instances where they've doubled ticket prices in some cases which is wrong and those price increases are also for away fans. So if you support a big club and go to away games you pay more than if your a supporter of a smaller club and go to away games, how is that fair?

Its economics though as I said. Take it revenue per seat basis. If you have a 75,000 seater stadium, you can charge a small amount to fans and earn a large amount. If you have a 36,000 seater you have to charge more to try and level the playing field. If you are Wigan and only have 25k, its even harder. It all helps when you have to try and lure players to your club to compete with the likes of Ronaldo on 120k a week.
