Rejected petition Put a limit on the price of Premier League tickets.

Increasing BPL ticket prices are getting ridiculous as they are beginning to ruin football. In many cases only the rich and wealthy can make the games, meaning poorer supporters struggle to go and see their team due to the unnecessary ticket prices. The story is much different elsewhere in Europe.

More details

An Arsenal season ticket costs up to £2039, whereas Bayern Munich's costs just £104. An Arsenal match day ticket costs between £25.50 and £126, whereas Bayern's cost between £13 and £60. This evidence shows that the BPL ticket prices are unnecessary and are ruining football-it is clear that big clubs such as Bayern can survive with lower ticket prices, so why do Premier League clubs continue to rob their fans and ruin the game?

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament don't control the prices for Premier League tickets.

You could ask the Government or Parliament to offer incentives for clubs to reduce the price of tickets - for example, through the tax system.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
