Supporting a football club is more expensive than ever before in England, an exclusive Reach investigation has found — and now you can see just how much each club charges its fans.
The Cost of Football is Reach’s annual investigation into how much each club in the top four divisions of English football charges its fans. It’s the largest of its kind in the country, and looks at three key items — season tickets, match tickets and shirt prices. And for the first time this year it also focuses on the prices of top category «Cat A» matches.
It found that while some clubs have frozen ticket prices amidst the cost of living crisis, overall things are getting more expensive.
The average cost of season tickets, match tickets and replica shirts have all increased to record levels.
The most expensive season tickets cost £3,000 each. Big-game match tickets at one club start at £70 apiece and cost as much as £240 at another. And three clubs are charging £60 for kids’ replica shirts.
You can see how each club compares against the others in their division using our gadget:

The cheapest season tickets at Chelsea, meanwhile, cost £595.00 each. That's down from last season and just above average for Premier League clubs' cheapest season tickets.
The average cost for the cheapest adult season ticket at each Premier League and EFL club is now £399.88. That’s the highest on record.
The average is also at record high levels for each division — £535.13 in the Premier League, £377.04 in the Championship, £368.34 in League One, and £341.56 in League Two.
