Premier League Clubs Urged to Freeze Home Ticket Prices for Next Two Seasons
Supporters cite soaring costs and lack of transparency as barriers; 116 groups urge Premier League to freeze ticket prices amid rising travel and accessibility challenges.
- On Monday, the Football Supporters' Association published an eight-point letter signed by a record 116 supporters groups urging Premier League clubs to freeze home ticket prices for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons and engage supporters on ticketing policy.
- Supporters say rising costs and travel burdens have priced out younger and working-class fans amid 19 clubs raising prices for 2024-25 and heavy club spending including transfer windows and agent fees.
- Fan advisory boards dispute the £38 average ticket price and call for clubs to share Premier League ticketing data, citing the £30 away-ticket cap as evidence of cooperation.
- The proposed pause aims to stop the 'arms race' on ticket prices, benefiting ordinary supporters, including younger and disabled fans, while addressing clubs concerned about competitive pressures through a Premier League-wide halt.
- Supporters amplified the letter across social media on November 24, 2025, showing the campaign grew from Spirit of Shankly's Gareth Roberts and was adopted broadly by the FSA, while Chelsea Supporters' Trust urged halting further ticket hikes.
