Premier League: "54% of match tickets will cost £30 (€33.70) or less" in 2017-18 (Ernst&Young)

"54% of all tickets sold this season (2017-18) will cost £30 or less (€33.70 on 15/10/2017)," said the Premier League on 13/10/2017. "The average ticket price across the League is £32 (€36)," added the Premier League, referring to an analysis conducted in collaboration with the audit and consulting firm EY (Ernst & Young) on the basis of data provided directly by the clubs and presented on 13/10/2017.

"To ensure that loyal fans are rewarded and stadiums are well attended, one third of the half a million Premier League season tickets sold by clubs are sold below their full prices. Fans with season tickets will have saved a total of £10m (€11m) across the season through such discounts offered by clubs," said the Premier League.

"This research shows the excellent value clubs are offering across the League and the impressive commitment of their fans. I hope it will challenge commonly held perceptions about the cost of attending Premier League football, and encourage even more people to consider going to a match," said Richard Scudamore, executive chairman of the Premier League.
