FAO Fernandes 16:42 - Jul 29 with 3585 views | Cliff | http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jul/28/premier-league-ticket-price A very interesting read. I particularly liked the bits where they pointed out that since the 1989-90 season, adjusted for retail-price inflation in the past 24 years since one would expect just under a 100% increase in ticket prices. Man United’s lowest-priced ticket for this season, of which there are very many fewer than in the days of standing, will be £31 nevertheless represents a 785% increase since 1990. This season, Liverpool’s cheapest matchday ticket will be £46, an increase of 1,150%. They also point out that Arsenal charge £129.50 for the most expensive single matchday ticket, whereas this season at Bayern Munich who are Bundesliga champions, 2013 Champions League winners and suppliers of the bulk of Joachim Löw’s World Cup-winning team, thousands of fan-members can buy a season ticket to stand for €144 (£114). | | | | |
