Across the top flight, 33 per cent of ticket prices have been reduced in 2016-17 – the first season of a record £5.316bn TV deal – with 53 per cent frozen at previous levels.

The average cost of the dearest away ticket is £29.44, a reduction of 37 per cent from £46.44. This drop is mainly due to an agreement among clubs to cap prices at £30. The equivalent price in the Championship is £31.57, an increase of five per cent on last year.

Along with Liverpool, Hull also offer the joint-cheapest matchday ticket in the division at £9. The most expensive, £97, is at Arsenal but this price has not increased since 2014.
