Matchday tickets to watch live football appear to be going up with every passing season, pricing out the regular punters who have supported their teams for years.
In time, the working class won’t be able to afford to go to games anymore. Not only due to the rising costs of ticket prices alone, but also public transport and food costs.
Of course, this has a bigger impact higher up the pyramid, with Premier League clubs charging the most for single tickets.
Liverpool are a club that are treating their fans the correct way. The Anfield side are freezing all general and season ticket prices for the 2025/26 campaign. This comes despite the increase in matchday and operating costs at the club.
While not every club might be able to do this depending on their financial situation, the Merseyside outfit are rewarding those who have made this season such a success.
Who knows, perhaps a few other top-flight teams might follow in their footsteps and freeze prices for next season.

1 ByRoss KilvingtonFeb 10, 2025 18 Everton Most expensive matchday ticket: £55
It is looking like Everton will retain their Premier League status ahead of next season, and it is all thanks to David Moyes. The Scot has rejuvenated the Toffees since joining a few weeks ago.
They are moving to their new stadium for the 2025/26 season, but their most expensive ticket at the time of writing is £55. Whether this will increase due to their new surroundings remains to be seen.
17 Crystal Palace Most expensive matchday ticket: £58
Crystal Palace’s most expensive matchday ticket is currently priced at £58. They did garner controversy back in 2015 when it was revealed that a pie at Selhurst Park would cost the supporter a staggering £4, more than any other team in the league.
The Eagles are on course to remain in the Premier League next year under the leadership of Oliver Glasner, sitting comfortably in mid-table.
There is not much variation in the club’s ticket prices, as the cheapest matchday ticket to watch Premier League football at Selhurst Park is £48, just £10 less than the most expensive option.
16 Nottingham Forest Most expensive matchday ticket: £60
Nottingham Forest’s most expensive matchday costs £60, but might this increase next season? The club have been wonderful throughout the current campaign, as Nuno Espírito Santo has led them to the heights of third in the Premier League table.
The next few weeks will be the most crucial of their season as they face Newcastle United, Arsenal and Manchester City in successive matches in the top flight.
If Champions League qualification is secured, expect a rise in ticket prices, especially concerning the cheapest option, which currently stands at £48.
15 Liverpool Most expensive matchday ticket: £61
Considering Liverpool’s success domestically and in Europe, it is admirable that their most expensive matchday ticket is £61, which ranks them relatively low on this list.
As mentioned earlier, the club have frozen all ticket prices for the 2025/26 season, which is great news for supporters, especially those who are feeling the pinch in these uncertain times.
The Anfield side also ranks around mid-table out of all the top flight teams regarding their cheapest ticket, with this coming in around £39, not bad indeed.

ByLewis ThompsonSep 5, 2025 14 Brentford Most expensive matchday ticket: £65
Brentford are now an established Premier League side, having secured promotion to the top flight back in 2021.
Under Thomas Frank, they have never finished lower than 16th in the table, which occurred last term. They get their recruitment spot-on and will be playing in the top flight once again next season amid another solid campaign in 2024/25.
The most expensive matchday ticket at the club currently is £65, and it remains to be seen whether this will increase for 2025/26, especially if they secure a top-half finish or even a European place.
13 Manchester United Most expensive matchday ticket: £66
Manchester United are enduring a dreadful season, to say the least. With just 29 points from their opening 25 matches, the Old Trafford side occupy 15th place in the table. Ruben Amorim will be hoping he can get rid of the deadwood this summer to bring in his own players.
For the 2024/25 season, United’s most expensive matchday ticket currently stands at £66 across the board. The club recently came under fire for the decision, which has also done away with concessions for younger and older supporters.
With the standard of football on show and their lowly league position, it is no wonder this is seen as extortionate, and it shows no sign of coming down.

ByRoss KilvingtonJan 24, 2025 12 Manchester City Most expensive matchday ticket: £67
Manchester City may be going through their roughest spell since Pep Guardiola took charge in 2016, but compared to other clubs, their most expensive matchday ticket costs £67, ranking them around mid-table.
They may not win a trophy this term, but the Spaniard will be keen to use the summer to further revitalise his stagnating squad.
At £43 for the cheapest ticket at the Etihad, City fans can also get some decent value for seeing their team perform in the Premier League. Given they are four-time defending champions, this figure isn’t too steep.

ByBarney LaneJan 28, 2025 11 Southampton Most expensive matchday ticket: £70
Southampton sit bottom of the league table having amassed just nine points all season, securing only two wins in 25 matches.
The football has been poor, and despite the club being destined for Championship football once again, the most expensive ticket at St Mary’s costs £70. This figure might not change in the second tier, either.
Despite placing joint-10th for the most expensive ticket price in the league, Southampton actually offer the cheapest matchday ticket in the division, coming in at just £25.
