The Guardian this week asked all 20 Premier League clubs whether they would be in favour of a £30 cap on tickets for away fans. Many clubs replied that they ‘do not take part in surveys’ but some, realising that this is an important topic for their fans, came back to us.

Arsenal



Would you vote in favour of a £30 cap on away tickets?

Arsenal did not vote in favour. of a £30 cap at last week’s Premier League meeting

Why not? We are in favour of an option that would include help with supporters’ travel and that would involve the clubs putting twice as much money on the table as would be the case with a £30 price cap.. The debate is around how this money should be spent. We believe there will be a very good outcome for travelling fans at the clubs’ Premier League meeting in March.

Home: Prices will be frozen on all general admission and club level season and matchday tickets for 2016-17. It will be the seventh time in 11 seasons at Emirates Stadium that prices have been held flat, meaning the cost of season tickets has fallen around 19% in real terms against inflation in that time. The club provides approximately 350,000 reduced price tickets a season.

There is a Family Enclosure in operation at Emirates Stadium, where young supporters in the official Junior membership scheme aged 4-16 can buy tickets priced from £10.

We also have an active Young Guns Enclosure in operation for weekend category B and C Premier League fixtures, with 1,000 tickets available per game for £10. Over the course of a season approximately 14,000 tickets are available for 12-16 year members of the Young Guns scheme.

Away: As part of the Premier League Away Fan Initiative we have been offering a discount on our away tickets since early in the 2013-14 season. We also offer subsidised travel on difficult to reach games. For instance, the club provided £10 return coach travel to supporters for the Capital One Cup match away to Sheffield Wednesday in October.

Many. Everton introduced a £95 season ticket for Under-11s for the 2012-13 season and that is still in place - equating to £5 per Premier League game.

Junior season tickets (under-16s) have been frozen at £149 in the Family Enclosure (equating to £7.84 per game) and £199 (£10.47 per game) throughout the remainder of the stadium. Concessions for young people in education, employment or training (16 to 20-year-olds) brings the cost below £20 per Premier League game. In real terms, our adult season tickets are 11% cheaper than they were a decade ago. More than 17,000 adult fans at Everton pay between £23 and £31 per game. The average price for a senior and young adult season ticket has fallen from £358 in 2005-06 to £356 in 2015-16 – in real terms, a 23% decrease in price.

Last season we had reciprocal away ticket arrangements with Swansea and Newcastle, and with Newcastle this season too, discounted tickets by £10 for Chelsea away and West Ham away, with our players contributing to the West Ham discount. The reciprocal deals with Swansea and Newcastle were £24-£12 and £20-£10 respectively.

Over 1,000 supporters have benefitted from ‘Blues On Tour’ free coach travel. Supporters club members were offered a paid-for pie and pint at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, and at Norwich and West Ham. Any supporter who travelled to our Premier League game against Manchester City received a free ticket for the League Cup semi-final second leg at the Etihad.

Manchester United



Would you vote in favour of a £30 cap on away tickets?

The Premier League discussions were private and the decision is one that all clubs abide by.

The club already uses the Away Fan Initiative money to give its travelling fans a discount on the tickets they buy – helping to tackle the issue of United always being a Category 1 match (ie with the highest prices for our fans).

Newcastle United



Would you vote in favour of a £30 cap on away tickets?

That is confidential but the average cost for away supporters at St James’ Park this season is exactly £30 for adults. and £12 for juniors

Any initiatives to help make the cost of attending football more affordable?

We pioneered reciprocal pricing (whereby clubs agree they will charge each others’ away fans exactly the same prices). We have organised several reciprocal pricing deals this season, achieving an average price for away fans of £21.25 (adults). and £6.35 (juniors). Clubs we have agreed reciprocal prices with include West Brom, Swansea, Stoke, Southampton, Everton, Watford and West Ham.

We offer a number of extremely competitive season tickets deals.

Norwich City

No comment.

Our average ticket price at home, not including corporate seats, is £24.90 and we overspend on the £200,000 given by the Premier League to subsidise away travel.

The Swansea game, for example, will cost fans £10, down from £35.

The club has always operated an affordable and accessible ticketing policy.

In terms of prices SAFC has some of the cheapest season card prices in football. In our popular Family Zone a season card for an under 16 is just £25 and an adult and junior package just £400 – which equates to just £21 for a parent and child. Even our most expensive adult season card – west stand, centre line – was only £495 for the current season (£26 a game). We introduced a special concession for under-22s, which was £190 (£10 per game) and there are also concessions for over-65s and under-16s throughout the stadium.

Swansea City



Would you vote in favour of a £30 cap on away tickets?

We would not be able to confirm our voting decision.

Most of our fans pay less than £30 for an adult away ticket now after we launched our ‘Trueto22’ campaign at the start of the season. It caps adult away tickets at a maximum of £22 if they join our Jack Army membership scheme. The club subsidises the difference in the ticket price – which probably equates to around £300,000 a season.

Watford



Would you vote in favour of a £30 cap on away tickets?

Yes – but by reciprocal deal only, so our fans get to pay the same when they travel to the reverse fixture.

Any initiatives to help make the cost of attending football more affordable?

We have already offered £1 coach places to eight less accessible (largely non-London) away fixtures, in addition to reciprocal ticket pricing details alluded to above. We will also consider subsidising our travelling fans’ ticket prices for non-reciprocal matches, but that’s something we’ll not be looking at until the summer.
