Over half of Premier League clubs are raising top ticket prices

The ticket price increases are more widespread than a year ago, when only six teams raised season-ticket costs amid Covid-19 uncertainty.

The cost of watching Premier League football is rising for most fans, stretching the budgets of tens of thousands of supporters already dealing with the UK’s cost-of-living crisis.

Of the 20 teams competing in England’s elite competition next season, 11 have increased the price of their costliest 19-match pass, with nine charging more for their cheapest option, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Supporters and clubs are contending with inflation at its highest level in 40 years and an unprecedented squeeze on living standards.
