Premier League season tickets: who pays most, who pays least, and who froze prices

Season-ticket costs have climbed across the Premier League, with 14 of 20 clubs raising prices and five freezing them. According to NY Times, every club still operates a waiting list, showing demand remains high.

Eight clubs now exceed £1,000 for their most expensive adult seat. Fulham again top the list after a three and a half per cent rise, with the Riverside Stand at £3,192, alongside Tottenham (£2,223), Arsenal (£1,835), Manchester City (£1,600), Manchester United (£1,178), Aston Villa (£1,297.50), Brighton (£1,100) and Chelsea (£1,095).

Bournemouth’s executive section that previously cleared £1,000 appears unavailable, bringing their peak below four figures. The promoted trio are cheapest, with Coventry’s highest-priced ticket at £625, Hull’s at £600 and Ipswich’s at £747.

Prices were frozen at Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. Coventry rose by 16 per cent, Ipswich by 12 to 14 per cent and Everton by seven point two per cent, with most others increasing three to five per cent. Sunderland have personalised pricing for 2026-27, so last season’s rates were used for comparisons.

Only Fulham offer an under-18 season ticket above £1,000, again in the Riverside Stand. Arsenal and Villa’s top junior rates are £917.50 and £990.50, while Newcastle’s cheapest junior price is £85. After protests, Liverpool limited this season’s rise to three per cent and pledged a 2027-28 freeze.
