Premier League away tickets capped at £30 for another two seasons

Away tickets in the Premier League will be capped at £30 for a further two seasons.

Top-flight clubs voted unanimously to retain the cap at a meeting in London on Thursday.

The vote to extend means the cap will have been in place for 12 seasons by the time the current mandate expires in the summer of 2028.

The Premier League said in a statement: “Away fans help create the incredible atmosphere Premier League matches are renowned for.

“Since the cap’s implementation in 2016, it has contributed to attendance at away games increasing from 82 per cent to 91 per cent.

“The Premier League and clubs also acknowledge the additional costs associated with travelling to follow their teams around the country.”

Tom Greatrex, the chair of the Football Supporters’ Association which campaigned vociferously for the introduction of the cap, said: “The extension of the away cap is great news for travelling top-flight fans – the cap was an FSA idea which wouldn’t have happened without our members’ campaign work.

“Credit to the Premier League and clubs for listening to supporters on the importance of away supporters and keeping the cap in place. Long may it continue.

“We all know how much away fans add to the atmosphere in our stadiums and anything which helps them is welcome. This has saved supporters millions of pounds in total.

“We’d also encourage owners to listen to the voices of supporters’ groups at their clubs who are telling them that home ticket prices are often unaffordable and are pricing out loyal fans.”
