A s the season draws to a close, and the cost of living crisis continues to bite, football fans will be thinking about the expense of attending regular matches.

In Germany, Fortuna Düsseldorf last week said they would offer free tickets to supporters, but how are English clubs responding to financial pressures on their fanbase?

According to the Office for National Statistics, 38% of adults are spending more on everyday items. For match-goers, ticket prices are often proving an expense too far.

Fulham’s season-ticket prices for the 2023-24 season, for example, are causing their fans some concern. An adult seat in the new Riverside Stand costs anywhere from £1,250-£3,000, with prices increasing in the rest of the stadium by 18%.
