Premier League football fans are being hit by season ticket price hikes of up to 14% next season.
Thirteen top-flight clubs, including some with mega-rich owners such as Newcastle, Manchester United and Chelsea, have increased their cheapest adult prices for next season, causing fury from fan groups.
Football Supporters Association chair Tom Greatrex told the Mirror: "Matchgoers have had enough of inflation-busting price hikes, which are up 19 percent since COVID. It's time for clubs to listen.
"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."
Fans of newly-promoted clubs Leeds United and Sunderland are among the worst affected, alongside supporters of Everton, who are moving to their newly-built Hill Dickinson Stadium. Leeds have put their cheapest season ticket price up by 14% to £495, Everton have increased their prices by 12% to £730 and Sunderland supporters face an 11% hike to £490.

Arsenal Supporters’ Trust have voiced their concern about the increase and pointed out that it came after the club recently reported a surge in total revenue from £467m to £616m for the 23/24 season.
But responding to criticism, an Arsenal club spokesperson told us the Emirates outfit have also launched a new 19-game season ticket, with prices from £921.50. They also added they will be giving 1,000 tickets away for free to members of the local community across the season.
Meanwhile, Brighton have increased their price, which includes free travel on public transport for every match, by 3% to £610, while Fulham fans face a 2.8% rise to £486.

Newly-crowned champions Liverpool are one of just seven clubs not increasing their season ticket prices next season. The others are manchester-city-fc>Manchester City, Tottenham, West Ham, Burnley, Brentford and Wolves.
It comes after the Premier League announced on Tuesday that a £30 cap on away tickets, following a campaign by the Football Supporters Association, will remain in place. Tom Greatrex added: "Seven top-flight clubs have announced price freezes and we don’t believe that would have happened without fan protests."
