Premier League announces £30 cap on away tickets

All 20 Premier League clubs have “unanimously agreed” to cap the price of away tickets at £30 for the next three seasons.

The agreement comes at a time where the price of Premier League tickets has been on the agenda in recent weeks, with many fans criticizing the current prices.

In a statement on their official website the Premier League admitted that away fans are “essential for the match atmosphere” and they need to be catered to.

For a long time the Football Supporters Federation have campaigned for a cap of £20 on away ticket prices.

FSF CEO Kevin Miles said that he was “very pleased the voice of fans has been listened to”.

Miles continued, “A maximum price of £30 for away tickets will save a lot of fans a lot of money, and for many will make the difference between attending away games or not.

“We hope many clubs will also follow the example of Arsenal and reduce away ticket prices for their fans even further.”

Many fans have made the argument that with the new £5 billion pound television deal coming into play next season, Premier League clubs should be less reliant on ticket revenue and should therefore charge lower prices.
