They claim cheapest ticket available is £63, which will rise to £74

Bayern Munich fans have threatened to boycott the first five minutes of their Champions League match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium next week.

The Bundesliga champions travel to London on October 20 but a supporters' group, FC Bayern Worldwide, have called for a walkout in protest of 'impossible' ticket costs.

They claim that the cheapest ticket available is £64, which will rise to €100 (£74) with fees and postage for the travelling fans.

To put that in perspective, Bayern Munich season tickets are available for just £104.

'We will not enter the away sector for the first five minutes of the game Arsenal FC against FC Bayern München on the 20th of October 2015,' a statement on FC Bayern Worldwide's Facebook page read.

'We will be taking this action to draw attention to the excessive ticket prices for this fixture. The cheapest ticket for this group phase match is priced at £64, which with fees and postage included will cost Bayern fans almost €100.

'This kind of a price structure makes a stadium visit impossible for younger and socially disadvantaged fans. It destroys fan culture, which is the basis of football. In England, this development has already taken place.

Arsenal have been criticised in the past for high ticket prices, while several fans took part in the 'Twenty's Plenty' protest in a bid to persuade clubs to take the step of capping away prices at £20.

And the Bayern supporters' group have backed that campaign in England.

'We want to protest at the price structure and at the same time changes in the stadia. We want to remind clubs and associations of their social responsibility and warn them of the effects, which we will all feel, both as fans and club officials.

'We express our support for campaigns like ‘20’s Plenty’ from England and ‘Kein Zwanni’ in Germany. Especially the developments in English football should be a sobering example.

'The first five minutes of the game in London will be, what future football will look like if this madness continues. Empty seats in the stands and no singing or emotion in the stands. In the following 85 minutes we want to show the alternative and show how fundamentally important a lively fan-culture is for football.'
