116 Fan Groups Press Premier League for Two-Season Home Ticket Price Freeze

Supporters say affordability now hinges on a freeze paired with transparent data and structured dialogue.

Overview

  • The Football Supporters’ Association submitted an eight-point letter to the Premier League and all 20 clubs co-signed by 116 supporter groups, and the league has been asked for comment.
  • The coalition seeks a freeze on home ticket prices for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons, transparent ticketing data, ongoing consultations with fan bodies, and formal dialogue structures.
  • Supporters point to successive increases across the division, with 19 of 20 clubs raising prices in 2024-25 and 13 doing so again this season.
  • The letter argues that rising travel costs and late, TV-driven kick-off changes make matchdays harder to plan and more expensive, especially for younger, working-class and disabled fans.
  • Signatories dispute the league’s quoted £38 average ticket figure and include local groups such as Wolves’ 1877 Supporters’ Trust, which has forwarded the demand to the club.
