Title: Ticket pricing
Post by: aj2k77 on March 29, 2026, 10:21:28 AM
I took a look at other clubs prices and generally we are the 5th most expensive side to watch in the league.

5 most expensive ''cheapest'' tickets:

1. Everton £58
2. Chelsea £55
3. Newcastle £55
4. Forest £50
5. Aston Villa £46.75

5 most expensive tickets:

1. Arsenal £145.50
2. Fulham £125
3. West Ham £115
4. Tottenham £109
5. Aston Villa £96.60

I'm not sure just how accurate it is but it gives a picture of where were at with pricing. The current financial rules have now got us to a landscape where the favoured five can by and large offer a better product and matchday experience at a cheaper price whilst competitors for European positions have to charge more to fill the gap in income.

I know next season is largely dependant on what competition we are in but surely we can't raise prices any further with us already have gone from one of the cheaper teams to watch to one of the most expensive in just a short period of time.

Oh and new stadium = cheaper tickets. I'm not sure that's been proven to hold up. Everton have used the shiny new bauble to make them one of the most expensive sides to watch.

The prices for the season were baked in by our old mate Heck. Probably optimistic to assume prices will go down mind.

Me and my son are in L1 and I have a slight paranoia they will finally scrap our price band for the coming season.

So we’re 5th most expensive in the most expensive tickets category. The 4 above all have one thing in common and that is they’re all London clubs where, because of the location they generate more income. I think the newness of our fortunes on the pitch is the reason for our high ticketing prices. 10 years of continued success when we are established as a top club will see them be nearer mid-table, especially as we’ll have an increased capacity.
