Premier League Extends £30 Away Ticket Cap to 2028 After Unanimous Vote

The policy prioritizes travelling-fan affordability to sustain strong away attendances.

Overview

  • Clubs voted unanimously at a London shareholders’ meeting to keep the away-ticket ceiling at £30 for two more seasons, running through summer 2028.
  • The extension means the cap, introduced in 2016, will cover 12 consecutive seasons.
  • The league cited away attendances rising from 82% to 91% and highlighted the contribution of visiting supporters to matchday atmosphere, noting added travel costs.
  • Football Supporters’ Association chair Tom Greatrex praised the move as saving fans millions and urged clubs to tackle unaffordable home prices.
  • Coverage contrasted the Premier League decision with lower-league pricing pressures, with Coventry City owner Doug King pointing to far lower broadcast revenues to justify higher charges.
