Premier League chiefs are facing calls from hard-up fans to freeze season ticket prices for the next two years.
Supporters from more than 100 separate organisations representing all 20 top flight clubs have written to the governing body demanding a halt to price hikes until 2028 at the earliest.
Fulham are currently charging £1,200 for a half-season ticket starting in January. Arsenal were asking £1,726 for a full 19-game season ticket in the summer.
Premier League Bosses Sent Collective Statement
Groups affiliated to the Football Supporters' Association sent a letter to Premier League bosses last week with a collective statement what they say is the 'serious issue of rising costs in football and the impact this is having.'
The letter goes on to stress: "We are deeply concerned by the continuing trend of rising home ticket prices across the Premier League. These increases risk pricing out the very people who make the game what it is.
"We are calling on all Premier League clubs to agree to a two-season halt on home ticket price increases for the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons."
The proposal includes an eight-point plan behind the proposal in which the fans are also asking for clubs to share ticketing data and to stop what they fear is becoming an 'arms race' where clubs are constantly raising ticket prices to keep up with each other.
Premier League clubs are enjoying the first year of a four-year deal with TV companies that is worth a staggering £6.7 billion.
The FSA adds that fans have never been under greater pressure to attend games that have unsociable kick-off times.
Chelsea played on Sunday evening last season after travelling to Kazakhstan for a UEFA Conference League game three days before. They also played at Wolves on Christmas Eve.
Fulham hosted Manchester United at 7pm on Sunday, January 26th after the Red Devils had played a HOME European match on the Thursday prior.
FSA Concerned Rising Ticket Prices Killing Atmospheres
The FSA also believes that constantly rising ticket prices are killing the atmosphere in Premier League stadiums because local fans cannot afford to go.
More and more clubs are trying to entice loaded tourist fans who pay over the top for tickets and spend a relative fortune on merchandise while visiting grounds.
A £30 cap on away ticket prices was introduced in 2016 and that policy was recently renewed by a unanimous vote by all Premier League clubs.
The FSA said: "The £30 away ticket cap was a landmark agreement that proved clubs and supporters can work together to make positive change.
"It showed that valuing your supporters strengthens the game, and is something that must continue.
"Now we need that same collective approach to deliver a two-season-long halt on home ticket price increases and plan for the future together."
