Football fans across the UK are united in their discontent over rising ticket prices, with many Premier League clubs increasing costs for the upcoming season. The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) has initiated the 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty' campaign to address this issue. Despite clubs citing competition costs and operational expenses as justifications for hikes, the financial disparity between the Premier League and other European leagues continues to grow. Significant ticket revenue earnings reflect fans' willingness to attend games, but rising costs and a lack of discounts have sparked protests and calls for change in ticket pricing policies.
When 19 of the Premier League's 20 clubs raised their ticket prices before the 2024-25 season, the FSA launched a campaign called 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty'.
The cost of competing for trophies, increasing operational expenses, and the threat of complying with financial regulations, have all been given as reasons for price hikes.
English top-flight clubs are doing very well financially in a whole number of different metrics.
Healthy ticket revenue shows people are wanting to go - but also shows the challenge of increased staffing levels and expensive running costs.
