Newcastle
United offer the cheapest day out for adult fans in the Premier League, with
tickets starting at £15.
BBC
Sport's Price of Football study shows that Newcastle, Aston Villa,
Fulham and Wigan all offer a ticket, programmed, pie and cup of
tea for less than £30, with Newcastle the cheapest at £23.
Chelsea's
cheapest day out is the most
expensive in the top flight at £49.60, while champions Manchester City have
the second-cheapest season tickets in the league at £275.
The
most expensive match day ticket in the division is at Arsenal , with
some seats for the club's top category games costing £126.
All
clubs offer a host of special offers on certain fixtures, but they were asked
for the cheapest and most expensive match day tickets which were not part of
any promotion.
Arsenal's
most expensive seat has gone up from £100 last year, but they have also reduced
prices. Last year's cheapest match day seat was £35, and this year it has come
down to £26.
Arsenal
chief executive Ivan Gazidis says clubs in the top flight must be careful not
to take their supporters for granted.
He
told BBC Sport: "During the last year we spent a lot of time working with
our fan groups to develop our ticketing strategy and create a wider and broader
range of prices.
"That's
been a collaborative effort between us and our fans which has been welcomed by
our fans as a positive development.

"It's
something that all of us in football need to keep an eye on and keep responsive
to because what we don't want to do is price out particularly younger fans from
the live experience of football.
"That
is such a fundamental part of the bond young people form with football. It
isn't just an issue for Arsenal but across the game."
