As well as being devoted, you have to be pretty well off to support Arsenal these days. It has been revealed that tickets for certain seats at the Emirates stadium are the dearest in the country. Not only do they charge £100 for these seats, they also have the dearest pies, with a chicken tikka filling coming in at a whopping £4.
Liverpool fans are the worst off overall however, their top tickets cost a much more affordable £48, but their cheapest tickets are £39, making them the priciest. This means that the cheapest day out for Liverpool fans adds up to £43.95, nearly three times what it would cost you at Newcastle.
The survey was held across all of the 104 clubs that make up the top 4 divisions in the English league and also the Scottish Premier League. It came as no real surprise that those who support London teams are often paying more for their match tickets. The top seats at Chelsea cost £87 while at Tottenham you will pay £80, but both clubs offer cheaper options, and a budget ticket at Chelsea will cost £23.50.
Further north they drop dramatically in price. The champions, Manchester United, offer seats for £35.60, while you can get into their neighbours Manchester City’s stadium for £25. Fans who support teams in the North West have the best deal, as some of the cheapest seats in the premiership, costing only £10, are available at Blackburn’s ground.
The prices of programmes also vary greatly, the dearest ones are £4 at Leeds, whilst Crawley charge a mere 50p.
