West Ham United and Liverpool fans are joining forces at tomorrow’s Carabao Cup match in a show of solidarity over rising ticket prices and attacks on concessions. The protest has been organised by FSA-member groups Hammers United, Old School Hammers and Spirit of Shankly. 

Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) response to UEFA letter reports. 

Football ticket prices have caught the attention of Parliamentarians with Ian Lavery MP tabling an Early Day Motion (EDM) criticising clubs for exploiting supporter loyalty, increasing costs and attacking concessions. 

Aston Villa fans have called the club “out of touch” for charging up to £97 a ticket for home Champions League matches this season.

This week news emerged of clubs in Spain’s top flight experimenting with surge pricing – a pricing model that can lead to significant price increases depending on demand – and the FSA has issued the following statement in response:

This week UEFA announced that the away ticket price caps for its club competitions – in place since 2019 – are set to come down following lobbying from supporter representatives.

It’s been another summer of discontent for Premier League supporters’ groups with 19 out of 20 facing ticket price hikes and a general sense that clubs just don’t value fan loyalty – unless it comes with a high-priced ticket, disposable income and a visit to the club shop.

There has been a wave of ticket price rises at Premier League clubs with every fan base, with the exception of Crystal Palace, seeing costs spiral for 2024-25 – and supporters’ groups have kicked back strongly against these rises.

The past few months have been marked with a series of price hikes across almost the entire Premier League and a wave of anger from the FSA’s member supporter groups.

Like all but one of the 20 Premier League clubs West Ham United announced significant increases to season ticket and matchday pricing for the 2024-25 season earlier this year.

A petition launched by Wolves fans, calling on their club to reverse planned season ticket price increases for the 2024-25 season, has received more than 11,000 signatures in its first few days.

As the Women’s Super League (WSL) season comes to a close fans are excited – with Chelsea and Manchester City chasing the title with two games to go – but Arsenal’s trip to Everton this past Sunday once again highlighted problems with away ticketing policies in the division.

This week Nottingham Forest became the latest Premier League club to announce significant price rises for the 2024-25 season.

Ticket prices are in the news with a wave of rises throughout the Premier League and supporters groups at Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have been speaking out. 

The noise around home ticket prices continues to increase as Chelsea Supporters’ Trust (CST) and groups at Manchester City have hit out at their own clubs for bumping up prices and squeezing concessions. 

Despite being the eighth richest club in world football, Tottenham Hotspur’s hierarchy have decided that the club doesn’t have enough money and the best way to fix that is to put the squeeze on their most long-serving supporters – pensioners with season tickets.

If you were watching Fulham take on Newcastle United in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend you may have spotted swathes of empty seats in the home ends – and it wasn’t apathy keeping the regulars away.

More must be done on European away ticket prices as analysis released today shows too many clubs still charging high prices for away tickets in UEFA’s club competitions.

Fulham fans will protest ahead of Saturday’s home game against Manchester United over fears that the club’s ‘completely misguided’ ticketing policy will price loyal supporters out of the game.

Supporter groups at Leeds United and Huddersfield Town are calling on the EFL to implement a league-wide cap on away ticket prices.
