Price of Football - Premier League

 

Newcastle United offer the cheapest day out for adult fans in the Premier League, with tickets starting at £15.

BBC Sport's Price of Football study shows that Newcastle , Aston Villa ,Fulham and Wigan all offer a ticket, programme, pie and cup of tea for less than £30, with Newcastle the cheapest at £23.

Chelsea's cheapest day out is the most expensive in the top flight at £49.60, while champions Manchester City have the second-cheapest season tickets in the league at £275.

The most expensive matchday ticket in the division is at Arsenal , with some seats for the club's top category games costing £126.

All clubs offer a host of special offers on certain fixtures, but they were asked for the cheapest and most expensive matchday tickets which were not part of any promotion.

Arsenal's most expensive seat has gone up from £100 last year, but they have also reduced prices. Last year's cheapest matchday seat was £35, and this year it has come down to £26.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis says clubs in the top flight must be careful not to take their supporters for granted.

He told BBC Sport: "During the last year we spent a lot of time working with our fan groups to develop our ticketing strategy and create a wider and broader range of prices.

"That's been a collaborative effort between us and our fans which has been welcomed by our fans as a positive development.

 

 

 

 

Bundesliga bargain

 

Prices at German champions Borussia Dortmund:

Adult ticket (purchased on day): Cheapest: £12.30 Most expensive: £40.18

Season ticket (adult) - cheapest:£150.27; most expensive: £819.67 (includes three Champions League group games)

Bratwurst: £2.01

Beer: £3.62

Programme: £1.61

*all prices converted from euros

 

"It's something that all of us in football need to keep an eye on and keep responsive to because what we don't want to do is price out particularly younger fans from the live experience of football.

"That is such a fundamental part of the bond young people form with football. It isn't just an issue for Arsenal but across the game."

Arsenal's cheapest season ticket at the Emirates is £985 and the most expensive £1,955, although that includes seven FA Cup or European games in addition to the standard 19 Premier League matches.

Wigan have the cheapest season tickets on offer in the top flight - they start at £255 - with the most expensive seat at the DW Stadium costing £310 for 19 Premier League games.

A programme in the Premier League will cost fans £3 or £3.50, while the cheapest pie can be found at Wigan , who charge £2.30. Fulham's is the most expensive at £3.90.

did a quick edit to make it more readable.

 

when you copy n paste articles they bring formatting with them, highlight it all and press the eraser button (top left near the one that looks like a lightswitch) which will set it to standard size and colour etc.

The last home game was. I think its a follow on from europe where they put the £15 offer on the sell remaining tickets.

manchester united was a category a game.... spare tickets being flogged off on the cheap.. got to be wrong.

 

You can get an adult ticket in the family section for category shit games for 15 quid but you have to buy at least two tickets. Cheapest adult ticket you can buy by itself is 26 pound.?

The prices at SJP aren't bad but the stuff in that BBC report is weird. The compulsory NUFC membership for Season Ticket holders wasn't factored in for a start, and the disgusting prices for away tickets wasn't even mentioned.

There's a double edged sword to all this. A Sportsdirect style pricing strategy is at odds with champion league aspirations. You can't run something like an F1 motel and expect it to pick up a five star rating.

Yournamehere, you seem unhappy that we have the lowest priced tickets in the league? I'm not sure what there is to be unhappy about? £15 tickets mean the difference between 47000 and 52000 being in the ground. One of the few things Ashley has done right imo. He's done it for at least 2 premier league games and all cup and European games thus far

What I have a problem with is the endless stream of half truths that eminate from SJP, which then get disseminated by a media that never scrutinises anything. The result being a false public perception of the state the club I (you) care about is in.

The BBC clearly state their survey doesn't include promotional prices, yet the data for NUFC seems to be based on promotional prices…. go figure.

We used to be able fill SJP without selling thousands of cut price tickets.
