Premier League’s £30 away ticket price cap extended
The Premier League announced this week that it will be extending its £30 league-wide cap on away ticket prices into next season.
The current competition-wide cap on away ticket prices was introduced at the start of the 2016-17 season, following sustained campaigning by supporters across the country led by the then Football Supporters’ Federation (one of the FSA’s predecessors) under the “Twenty’s Plenty” banner.
Supporter organisations across the country had taken collective action against ever-increasing away ticket prices and that campaign eventually paid off with the introduction of the cap in 2016 – prior to its adoption £60+ away tickets were not unheard of. Back in 2015, 13 of the then 20 Premier League clubs charged £40 or more, with prices topping out at Arsenal (£64) and WHU (£85).
At the Premier League shareholders’ meeting on Tuesday it was unanimously agreed to continue the practice until the league’s ticketing rulebook is reviewed again at the end of next season.
Since its introduction, the Premier League say attendances at away games have risen from 82% to 91% with a total of 953,420 away supporters at the 380 top-flight matches during the 2024-25 season.
This is what happens when supporter groups from rival clubs get together with the @WeAreTheFSA to campaign on behalf of the needs of fellow match day football supporters. Never underestimate principled, collective action. https://t.co/WzFekj1mje

Chair of the FSA Tom Greatrex said: “This is good news for matchgoing fans that follow their teams up and down the country week-in, week-out.
“It’s a universally popular measure that has collectively saved supporters millions of pounds at this point.
“The Premier League and its clubs should be congratulated for continuing to back it at a time when many fans are feeling the strain of the ongoing cost of living crisis.”
