Price of Football - Premier League

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

大象传媒 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 拢30, with Newcastle the cheapest at 拢23.

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

The most expensive matchday ticket in the division is at Arsenal, with some seats for the club's top category games costing 拢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 拢100 last year, but they have also reduced prices. Last year's cheapest matchday seat was 拢35, and this year it has come down to 拢26.

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

He told 大象传媒 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.

"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 Emirates Stadium is 拢985 and the most expensive 拢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 拢255 - with the most expensive seat at the DW Stadium costing 拢310 for 19 Premier League games.

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