Premier League clubs vote to keep the maximum price of away tickets at £30 for a further two years

The Premier League has announced that the maximum price of £30 away tickets has been extended for a further two seasons.

The clubs voted unanimously to keep the cap until the end of the 2027-2028 season at the Premier League shareholders meeting.

The decision means it will be in effect for 12 consecutive seasons, after it was first introduced in 2016.

“Away fans help create the incredible atmosphere that Premier League matches are famous for,” a Premier League statement said.

“Since the cap was implemented in 2016, it has contributed to an increase in attendance at away matches from 82% to 91%.

“The Premier League and clubs also recognize the additional costs associated with traveling to follow their teams around the country,” he added.

The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) welcomed the decision with chairman Tom Gretrix saying: “The extension of the away cap is great news for traveling First Division fans – the cap was the FSA’s idea which would not have happened without the campaign work of our members.

“Credit to the Premier League and the clubs for listening to fans about the importance of visiting fans and maintaining the cap for the past 12 seasons. I hope it continues for a long time.

He added: “We all know how much visiting fans add to the atmosphere at our grounds and we welcome anything that helps them. Over the past 12 years, this has saved fans millions of pounds in total.”

“We would also encourage owners to listen to the voices of fan groups at their clubs who are telling them that domestic ticket prices are often unaffordable, pricing them out at the expense of loyal fans.”

In November, more than 100 fan groups came together to urge Premier League clubs to freeze domestic ticket prices for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.

A message published on the Financial Supervision Authority’s website, external Read: “High prices make it difficult for ordinary fans, especially younger generations and working-class communities, to attend matches.”

However, seven clubs so far – Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley, Leeds United, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Sunderland – have announced that domestic ticket prices will rise next season.
