Away tickets capped at 30 pounds by Premier League clubs
England's top flight football clubs have unanimously agreed to cap the price of tickets for away fans at 30 pounds ($42.67)for the next three seasons, the Premier League said on Wednesday.
"Clubs know that away fans have a unique status," the league said in a statement.
"They are essential for match atmosphere and stimulate the response from home fans that distinguishes Barclays Premier League matches from those of other leagues."
Here is part of the statement:
At their last meeting on 4 February, 2016, the Clubs unanimously agreed that more should be done to help away fans and, after consideration of a range of options, have now decided to introduce the new £30 maximum price for away tickets.
The £30 away ticket cap will replace the ASI as a single, League-wide recognition of the importance of away fans for the three seasons 2016/17 to 2018/19.
Premier League Clubs are each responsible for their own ticket prices and offer a range of deals which make attending top flight football an option for millions of fans.
Premier League stadiums have been at least 90% full for each of the last 18 seasons. In 2014/15 and 2013/14 Premier League stadiums were 95.9% full.
