Top 10 most expensive Premier League teams to support this season based on resale ticket value and No1 will shock you
THE top 10 most expensive Premier League teams to support, based on resale ticket value, have been revealed.
And it’s newly-promoted Luton Town who come in as a shock No1.
The minnows secured a fairytale place in the top flight with victory in last season’s Championship play-off final.
However, there’s going to be a major scramble for tickets.
That’s because Kenilworth Road is the smallest stadium in the Premier League, holding just 10,356 seats.
And boffins at SeatPick have calculated that the average starting price for a ticket on resale will be a whopping £622.
That’s an incredible jump on last season’s average regular price, which was around £57 a ticket.
But with that box office figure set to increase, the resale value will shoot up as a result.
Second in the table is Bournemouth, where the average resale ticket will cost £482 in the new season.
The Cherries have reportedly introduced a new system based on the prestige of opponents, with seven now classed as top-tier Category A games and therefore making tickets more expensive.

Third is Nottingham Forest at £349, who have reportedly scrapped or restructured concessionary offers.
There is no longer an over-75s concession, while the youth range has changed from 23 to 19.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are fourth at £166, with Brentford finishing the top five at £161.
Completing the list are Liverpool, (£159), Wolves (£136), Newcastle (£135), Chelsea (£129) and Burnley (£125).
And it’s sure to be a pricey season for any fan looking to watch their team in action on a regular basis.
