Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew says owners of Premier League football clubs are right to listen to fans’ protests over ticket prices.Liverpool fans staged a walk out protest during the Reds’ draw with Sunderland on Saturday in protest against the hike in ticket prices to from £59 to £77.The club’s owners have since scrapped the plan to increase prices, apologising for the “distress caused”. In a joint statement they said: “The three of us have been particularly troubled by the perception that we don't care about our supporters, that we are greedy, and that we are attempting to extract personal profits at the club's expense. Quite the opposite is true." We want Alan Pardew to be Crystal Palace manager for a long time, insists chief executive Phil Alexander Injury latest: Crystal Palace midfielder could be back before the end of the season Palace fans can pay anywhere between £42 and £80 for a category A game, and between £25 and £35 for a category B fixture. Pardew said: “When the core fan-base are making these kinds of messages, we need to listen. “It isn't just what happens on the pitch that makes the Premier League what it is. It's the atmosphere and the tension, and that comes from the fans.” He added: “The owners of the football clubs need to really consider carefully that they don't lose the core supporters [through ticket prices].”

Fans won't support other fans. It is human nature not to make a fuss and the efforts of the few will be in vain.

Premier League ticket prices fall on average to £31 The average price of a Premier League ticket has fallen to £31, while the majority of fans pay less than £30 for their seat, a study has found. In addition, only three per cent of supporters pay more than £60 for their ticket, while more than a quarter of away tickets are purchased at £26 or less. The average cost of an away ticket is £28, although some are available for as little as £5 The figures have been collated by the Premier League, who say they have conducted a "comprehensive study into Premier League club ticket prices". Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore said: "The hard work of clubs to fill their grounds combined with the loyalty of fans has led to record attendances across the Premier League, with stadium utilisation at 96 per cent for four consecutive seasons. "Clubs have a range of ticket prices and there is some excellent value on offer. "We hope this study will help inform people of the range of prices available, provide some facts on what the majority of Premier League club fans are paying, and encourage new fans to consider attending a game for the first time." While the average cost of a Premier League ticket falling is good news for supporters, they have not dropped by much. The average cost of a ticket last season was £32.

Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to keep the £30 cap on away ticket prices for the next three seasons at their monthly meeting in London on Thursday.
The cap was first agreed in 2016 following campaigns by various groups, including the Football Supporters’ Federation (FSF), calling for a 20 pounds limit in what was named the “Twenty’s plenty” initiative.
“All clubs know the crucial importance of away fans in generating the best possible atmosphere at matches and recognise the additional travel costs often involved when following a team away from home,” the league said in a statement.
The league said that attendance at stadiums had reached record levels in the last four seasons, with 96 percent of tickets sold for Premier League fixtures.
