How do ticket prices for the Premier League compare to the other major leagues in Europe? Guardian research into ticket prices for the four big leagues of Europe; the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A, shows that the Premier League has the highest average price for the cheapest tickets.

The Premier League has been criticised for the high prices by supporters' groups. Owen Gibson writes today:

Supporters' groups have warned the Premier League there is a danger of "future generations being lost" to the game after a Guardian survey revealed its cheapest tickets were the most expensive of the four major leagues in Europe and more than double those in Germany or Italy. In the wake of Pep Guardiola's decision to choose Bayern Munich over rival English suitors, the survey results were seized on by those who claim the Bundesliga does a better job of combining competitiveness with accessibility and that the Premier League is at risk of pricing out some sections of its fanbase.

The average price for the cheapest ticket in the Bundesliga is £10.33 and the average cost of the lowest price adult season ticket is £207.22, compared to £28.30 and £467.95 respectively in the English Premier League. The chart below shows average matchday ticket prices by league.

La Liga charge an average of £232.80 for their cheapest season ticket and Bundesliga and Serie A charge £207.22 and £164.89 respectively. As Owen Gibson states in his story "'because Spanish and Italian clubs include the price of corporate and VIP tickets in their general pricing structures, while English and German clubs don't, it is impossible to compare the average cost of the highest priced tickets on a like-for-like basis."

Whereas the Premier League charge an average of almost £30 for their cheapest matchday ticket, Bundesliga charge an average of £10.33. Of the Premier League clubs, Chelsea charges the highest amount for their cheapest match day at £41 and Newcastle the least at £15.
