Supporter protests against Premier League ticket pricing will take place over the next two weekends, according to the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA). These protests are part of the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign, with fan groups gathering ahead of upcoming matches to raise awareness.
The FSA revealed that 19 of the 20 Premier League clubs have increased ticket prices this season, with Crystal Palace being the only exception. On average, prices have risen by seven percent, though some concessions have faced steeper hikes.
For instance, Nottingham Forest, who will face West Ham at the City Ground on November 2, has increased ticket prices by 20 percent. An 18-year-old fan could see their season ticket price jump from £190 to £850.
Tottenham and West Ham fans have already protested together, with Spurs supporters highlighting that the removal of senior concessions raised £3 million, the same amount given annually to chairman Daniel Levy as a bonus. Meanwhile, West Ham fans accused the club of “gaslighting” by suggesting higher ticket prices were necessary for the club to compete.
FSA chairman Tom Greatrex urged clubs to value loyal fans rather than exploit them, stressing that the Premier League needs to listen and find new ways to make football affordable for everyone. The FSA is actively engaging with the leagues on this issue.
