Methodology

Gambling.com gathered the cheapest and most expensive season tickets for all 92 PL clubs - both in 2023/2024 and 2024/2025. Prices were sourced from official club communications, local news sites or fan publications.

An attempt was made to only analyse general admission prices, and exclude hospitality/premium options. However, with some clubs these lines have blurred significantly.

If for example only 'early bird' season ticket prices were available for 2023/2024 - an attempt was made to compare this with the exact same ticket type/period in the 2024/2025 season.

The monetary and percentage increase between the cheapest, most expensive and average season ticket cost was calculated between both seasons, for each club.

The monetary and percentage increase of the average season ticket cost in each division (overall) between both seasons was also calculated.
