Sport Price of Football survey 2012

Some of it is incredible - £515 to go watch Luton in the Conference? :eek:

By contrast, a great deal of football fans are completely ignorant to the costs of running a lower league football club, and indeed the massively unsteady ground a lot of the clubs find themselves on. Which is why teams have to charge so much just to keep them going.

We average a small crowd of about 5,000 per week average and have the 9th largest budget in League One (apparently...) but for our attendences to cover the cost of running the football club we'd need around 20,000 each home game! :(
 
That is interesting. Good how some of the premiership teams are bloody cheap actually!
I've always been impressed with Fulhams prices but didn't realise others were similarly priced :)
 
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.

The Tea is ok but we're famed for our fitba soup :D
 
Leeds most expensive season ticket price outside the prem, and more expensive than half of the prem :(
 
Quite surprised at how cheap Man City are, I know they can afford to be but as champions and title contenders, thought they would be a bit more expensive. I mean there most expensive is cheaper than tottenham, liverpool and arsenals cheapest!!
 
You could get a season ticket at Manchester United and Manchester City for £200 less then a season ticket at Tottenham :D

They have been a poor club in recent years though remember, even as low as division 2 (old style). It would hardly be fair to double or triple the season ticket price in two seasons, I'm sure a lot of the fans who have stuck by them through the tough times would feel hard done to if that happened and possibly unable to afford it. They probably have some strategy to increase their prices in increments following continued success so that it can be justified and more palatable for the fans.

Don't be fooled by Man City's cheapest, they offered a very, very limited amount of tickets at £275.
 
Realistically those numbers are next to worthless without knowing how many are at what price, IE are 2% of Arsenal's tickets above £1500, or 25%.

Arsenal's cheapest tickets, been a while since I've been able to go but it was damn hard to pick up a ticket for less than £35, 5-6 years ago, excluding cup games against lower league teams when they do much lower prices.

Arsenal have made most of their killing and more than made up for the lack of capacity vs Utd by having loads of club/executive level seats and I wouldn't be surprised if we had significant more of the highest price seats than all the other big teams around.

Arsenal and Spurs both have the biggest city, with plenty of local fans, way way way more than enough than can fit in the stadium, to have pushed prices up over the years.

Rubbish tables overall, they need average price of day out(or just average ticket price), then a list of averages at the bottom of for each league to do a better comparison.

Cheaper ticket prices often help fill out capacity for crap cup games for the likes of Arsenal but if Brentford do a cheap ticket day, they still won't get close to capacity, its still roughly the same amount of people who would go anyway, they'd just lose money, so not a huge reason for lower leagues to all be offering their cheapest tickets at £5.

been offered a Arsenal season ticket a few times but even when I could go to half the games, I think the ticket I got offered was £1,050, or £1150 maybe, just couldn't afford that at the time.
 
Regardless, you were saying don't be fooled by their cheapest. Their most expensive is still comparatively cheap.
