Rejected petition Review ticket prices in the Football League

Fans outside of the Premier League are paying extortionate prices in order to watch the game we all love. The government should intervene with supposed "lower league" clubs and make football accessible to all.

More details

Leeds United fans are paying a minimum of £28 for a home tie against relegation bound Bolton. An unacceptable pricing strategy considering the level of football.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We cannot accept your petition as the pricing of tickets for football matches is a matter for the clubs themselves rather than the UK Government or Parliament.

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