To think it shouldn't cost so much for kids to go and watch their favourite football team?

You don’t need to be paying that much. I suspect you have been looking in secondary sale websites which are usually crazy prices.

Without knowing which team he supports it’s hard to advise on specifics however there are a few things you can do to source cheaper tickets.

Firstly, target a game against lesser opposition. For example Man United vs Southampton will be a fraction of the price of Man United vs Liverpool.

Look at buying a membership for the club in question. Quite often for a one off modest fee you’ll get access to face value general sale tickets for many of the games.

Finally join up some of the online supporter groups on Facebook or similar. Plenty of people renew season tickets every year and sell the games they can’t attend. These are invariably on or around face value.

I’ve been to hundreds of league games in the UK and have never paid anywhere near the prices you have quoted.

The only games that necessitate prices at that level or above are major domestic or International finals.

It would be nice if it was more affordable, but I assume they have a lot of costs to cover.

Are you sure about those figures though? My son had an under 21 season ticket for a premier league team for a whole year for £400. I didn’t pay anything like £300 when I bought a single ticket to accompany him.

Are you trying to but direct from the club or via an agency?

Which team is it? I got a ticket last season at Liverpool for £38 and all 3 of us went this season for about £120.

Take him to a local, lower league team. Or if he insists on it being a premier team, the women's matches are normally far cheaper. Less chance of dickheads in the crowd too

It's premier league, it's going to be expensive.

Do you have a local team he could also follow? My ds supports our local team in the Championship and his season ticket was £100 as he's 14. Under 12s go free.
Or tickets per game.would be £20 adult, £12 child.

£300 for 1 ticket for a 10 year old. Which club is this? My son's Premier League season ticket when he was under 16 not many years ago was £100 for the whole season.

Yes it's not nice that it is unaffordable for a lot of people but they can set their prices how they like and are obviously selling tickets at these prices.

Also you can't really complain about travel costs and time etc as the club can't take that into account in their pricing structure.

I know a lot of kids now have their Premier League club they support but then also support a smaller lower tier local club so they can go to live matches often for free.
