Price Of Football Survey


G STAR RAM

Recommended Posts

The average cost of the cheapest adult ticket in the top four divisions of English football has risen by 11.7% - more than five times the rate of inflation.

The BBC Sport Price of Football survey found that the average price of the most affordable ticket in league football has gone from £19.01 to £21.24 in the past 12 months.

Are we now seeing the real reason for falling attendances?

In the first lesson of A-level economics, you learn there are two things that people continue wanting more of, even as price climbs: addictive goods and status-maximising goods. And football, of course, ticks both boxes.

This weekend [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/arsenal]Arsenal, [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/nov/21/arsenal-ticket-100]originators of the Premier League's first £100 matchday ticket will bring in a new pricing plan, under which the cheapest seat for big matches is £62. Sixty-two pounds. Six thousand, two hundred cola bottles. They're not alone in fleecing fans. A season ticket at Chelsea, behind the goal, is £890. At QPR, an away ticket is £50, one at Liverpool last weekend was £48.
