Fans of both Arsenal and Chelsea can actually save money by going to all 19 Premier League away matches, rather than buying a season ticket to watch their side at home, according to a study by VoucherBox.

The study compares the price of a season ticket with the cost of an away ticket for each game – now capped at £30 – and also factors in the relevant travel costs for both home and away matches. It found that Chelsea fans pay £209 more for home games than away fixtures whilst for Arsenal, the difference is £183.

For fans of the other 18 teams, it’s more affordable to watch home fixtures than away games – although in some cases there were only small differences. For followers of Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Watford and Liverpool the difference between home and away matches is under £160. Sunderland fans will feel the pinch more than any other group as following the Black Cats on the road costs fans an extra £760 a year.

With the exception of West Ham, who have recently moved into their new larger-capacity London Stadium, clubs based in the capital are all amongst the seven most expensive season tickets in the league. This makes away travel a real option for Londoners seeking to watch Premier League games on a budget.

At £1,014, a season ticket at the Emirates is the most expensive in the league, which means that despite the cost of away travel over the course of the season, Gooners could make a saving of £183 by going to away games only.

However, heading across town to West London will provide fans with the greatest saving. Subsidised £10 coach travel provided by Chelsea leaves £209 more in Blues fan’s pockets from just attending away matches. Other clubs helping fans to travel across the country include Stoke, who fully subside the total cost of coaches for all Premier League away games, enabling fans to travel away for free.

Southampton also has a handy initiative to save supporters money on their match day tickets, whereby all fans visiting St Mary’s will have any amount above £20 refunded by a Saints’ club sponsor. In addition, Swansea City has capped ticket prices at £20 for those supporting the Welsh club on the road this season.
