Every Premier League club's average attendance for the 2024/25 season

Published 1 day ago6 minute read

The campaign got underway in August 16th 2024, and concluded on the 25th of May 2025, but the title and relegation was sorted way before the final day.

Manchester City went into it as four-time defending champions, but were dethroned by Liverpool, winning the league for the second time with four games to spare, equalling Manchester United’s record of 20 English league titles.

Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton ended up going down.

We saw a total of 1,115 goals scored during the season (380 games, averaging 2.93 per match).

And the attendances? Manchester United unsurprisingly came out on top with 73,815, despite an underwhelming 15th place finish, picking up 42 points from 38 games played.

AVERAGE ATTENDANCES

Fans are become increasing discontent, mostly with the rising ticket prices, according to the Football Supporters Association.

They found a BBC Sport survey which asked season ticket holders to share their opinions on the cost of tickets.

Matchgoing fans in the Premier League are facing yet another summer of eye-watering price hikes to matchday and season ticket prices.

In total, 13 of the 20 Premier League clubs have decided to increase their prices for the new season after a year of growing discontent around the issue with increases ranging from 3%-14%.

Brentford, Burnley, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only clubs in the division to announce price freezes for 2025-26.

“This season has seen supporter groups across the top-flight campaign together under the ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ banner.

“They put rivalries aside to oppose rising ticket costs and attacks on concessions which threaten to price out younger and older fans.

“Seven top-flight clubs have announced price freezes and we don’t believe that would have happened without fan protests.

“Matchgoers have had enough of inflation-busting price hikes, which are up 19% since COVID. It’s time for clubs to listen.”

It follows last week’s more positive news that the Premier League will extend its £30 cap on away tickets into next season.

The cap was introduced in 2016 following a successful Football Supporters’ Federation campaign (one of the FSA’s predecessors).

“The away cap is a universally popular measure that has collectively saved supporters millions of pounds – it shows what can be achieved when supporters work together.”

Last summer, the FSA launched the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign in response to the problem of ever-rising ticket prices. Protests were held across the division and you can read more about the campaign here.

Fans are growing more and more discontent, mostly with the rising ticket prices.

2023/24 saw Tottenham fans turning their back on the game; Fulham’s crowd showing yellow cards; Liverpool’s Kop removing their iconic flag displays and Wolves fans calling for boycotts. West Ham are another of those unhappy with the price hike.

The survey asked season ticket holders to share their opinions on the cost of tickets.

At the time of the survey, fifteen out of the 20 Premier League clubs had already announced their pricing structures for the 2024-25 season.

Out of the 1669 responses received, the majority (1494 fans) stated that they are willing to pay either “slightly more” or “significantly more” for their tickets next season.

However, nearly half of the respondents (782 fans) believe that their season ticket price is “fair,” while 472 fans consider it to be “unfair,” and 401 fans think it represents “good value.”

Over half of the respondents (907) expressed that the quality of facilities, such as food kiosks, toilets, and stadium infrastructure, does not align with the price they are paying.

“It causes a friction between loyal fans, who will stick with the club through thick and thin, and one-off tourists who want to come to London to watch a Premier League football match,.

“I do get that tourist revenue is attractive, but that risks then cutting off your long term source of regular fans who will come every single week.”

“There will be a time when Fulham may find themselves back in the Championship again, and where are the supporters going to be then? [What if] you’ve priced them out, built this beautiful new stand, but nobody can afford to come and watch the football there?”

“Clubs know that if you do not renew your season ticket, someone perhaps in a more fortunate financial position will buy one and you could have to wait a decade, maybe even more, before you are in a position to purchase another one,” said Martin, a Spurs fan.

“As a Forest supporter who paid for a season ticket in 2020-21, when there was no football, and who has had a season ticket for over 30 years, including three years in League One and multiple Championship relegation battles, it feels like that has been forgotten in the attempt to make a few more pounds,” said Simon.

“Matchday revenue is minuscule in comparison to commercial and broadcast revenue so ticket prices should reflect that,” “The 2% increase [to season tickets] adds £1m, which is a drop in the ocean to a club like LFC.”

“The club fails to understand that the club has been part of people’s lives for many years,” said Paul, an Arsenal fan. “It is part of our routine for living, not just a day out.”

“For a number of years now Everton have tried to lower the average age of season ticket holders by offering heavily discounted prices in bands for young people up to age 24,” said Andy, 60.

It is an atrocious decision. It’s a message from the club to us as seniors that we’re not wanted, and it is a message to every single fan about how they value loyalty. They don’t.”

“All they want is someone sitting in that seat who is prepared to pay full price.”

“For those with disabilities, old age or mental health issues, personal circumstances can mean that last minute you physically can’t make it,” said Adrian, a United fan.

“It is like saying if I bought a ticket to a concert and couldn’t go, then I would in effect be banned from going again – even though I’ve been a loyal fan for decades.”

Supporters were also asked to choose one of four statements which best reflected their club’s approach to season ticket holders.

490 supporters said “My club looks after its season ticket holders with fair pricing structures.”

“My club prioritises the needs of corporate and one-off ticket buyers over season ticket holders.”

However, many respondents also said they could understand price rises during a period of economic uncertainty.
