Season tickets has been a hotter topic than Luis Suarez diving this season as the Premier League clubs keep raising the bar.

The English Premier League is often compared with the German Bundesliga, and according to both UEFA and Bundesliga officials, the Germans are threatening to take over the role as the best league in the world. One of the areas, where the German Bundesliga known to be better than the English Premier League, is on the season ticket prices. Before this season, The Guardian published the prices and the numbers speak for themselves.



Only Manchester City can live up to the German standards with £275 as their cheapest price. What is most remarkable is the price of £67 for a season ticket in Bayern Munich, considering their success in both the domestic league and in Europe. Meanwhile, Arsenal is the most expensive club to follow with the cheapest season ticket price of £985.
Despite the critic of the season ticket prices, numbers from football365.com shows that the average attendance is higher for the five Premier League clubs compared with the Bundesliga top 5. Only Premier League’s number 2, Manchester City and number 4, Tottenham Hotspur are lacking in spectators compared with the Bundesliga’s 2. Dortmund and 4. Frankfurt. The numbers also reveal that despite having the highest season ticket prices, Arsenal holds the same average attendance as Schalke, almost £300 cheaper than the Londoners.


With this on the table, the question is now if the English Premier League will have to lower their ticket prices to keep a distance to the German Bundesliga. As the figures show, the German clubs are not far from presenting a better average attendance than the Premier League clubs, and a price regulation might be the only change for the Premier League to remain as the best league in the world.
