The most expensive season tickets in the Premier League have been revealed ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 campaign, and the numbers are eye-watering for loyal supporters.
The steady rise in ticket prices since the Covid-19 pandemic has continued unabated, with some clubs charging thousands of pounds for a seat at all home games. Fulham have now claimed the unwanted crown of offering the priciest season ticket in the top flight.
For an adult general admission ticket at Craven Cottage, renewable online or by phone, Cottagers fans will have to part with a staggering £3,084 for the privilege. This marks an increase of £84 from the previous season, according to data from The Athletic.
That figure is a massive £861 more than the next most expensive season ticket in the Premier League, which is at Tottenham Hotspur’s state-of-the-art stadium. Spurs fans will still need to shell out over £2,200 for the best seats.
In fact, the top four most expensive season tickets are all offered by London-based clubs. Arsenal come in third, continuing their tradition of steep prices at the Emirates, while West Ham round out the top four with season tickets that remain among the priciest in the league despite being significantly cheaper than Fulham’s.
Further down the list are some of the game’s northern powerhouses. Manchester United’s highest-priced season tickets are less than those at Bournemouth and even Manchester City, despite United boasting the biggest stadium in the league and a global fan base.
The revelation has sparked debate among supporters, many of whom feel increasingly priced out of watching their team week in, week out. Some Fulham fans have already expressed anger at the price hike on social media, arguing that the club is taking advantage of its location and wealthy clientele.
While London clubs often cite higher operating costs and demand as justification for their premium pricing, many fans outside the capital believe the gap is growing unsustainably wide.
One Manchester United supporter posted on X: “I’d love to see Fulham justify £3k a season, you could get a year of Champions League away days for less.”
Others have also questioned whether the value matches the product, with Fulham finishing mid-table last season and having little realistic hope of European qualification.
Despite the backlash, demand for Premier League football remains strong, with most clubs selling out their season ticket allocations within hours of going on sale.
As the new season approaches, the rising cost of loyalty looks set to remain a talking point among football fans across the country.
