Price of Football: Survey of 166 British clubs revealed

The Emirates Stadium has the most expensive ticket

The average cost of the cheapest adult ticket in the top four divisions of English football has risen by 11.7% - more than five times the rate of inflation.
The BBC Sport Price of Football survey found that the average price of the most affordable ticket in league football has gone from £19.01 to £21.24 in the past 12 months.
The survey looked at 166 clubs in 10 divisions across British football, including the Blue Square Bet Premier and Women's Super League.
We have recorded the most expensive, and cheapest, season tickets and adult matchday tickets as well as the cost of a cup of tea, a pie and a programme, to calculate the cheapest day out at a football match.


The figures show:
  • Only two out of 92 English league clubs offer a day out for less than £20 this season. Last year it was 12.
  • In Scotland, 21 of the 42 teams across four divisions offer a day out for less than £20.
  • The most expensive adult matchday ticket is Arsenal at £126 and the cheapest £6 at Montrose.
  • Arsenal also have the most expensive season ticket at £1,955, while Montrose's was the lowest at £90.
  • In the Women's Super League, matchday adult tickets range from £4-£6, with season ticket prices between £22-£40.
  • The most expensive tea in British football can be found in Manchester, where both City and United charge £2.50. The cheapest costs 50p at Alloa and Brechin in Scottish Division Two.
  • Kidderminster, in the Blue Square Bet Premier, charge the most for a pie at £4, while the cheapest is in Scotland, where Alloa, Albion and Forfar charge just £1.
  • Leeds United sell the most expensive programme in Britain at £4, while Inverness CT's is the cheapest at 50p
