Cheapest and most expensive pint in the Premier League – and it will surprise you

The cheapest pints in the Premier League are sold by arguably the division’s biggest club, a new study has revealed. The cost of watching football has steadily risen over the years, with some fans shelling out thousands of pounds to follow their teams home and away.

The prices of drinks at stadiums have also continued to rise, though one club is the surprise leader when it comes to providing cheap pints. Manchester United, who are widely known as the commercial pioneers of English football, are the club in question according to a study from Flashscore.

The study claims that United sell the cheapest pints in the Premier League at just £3.00 each, which is 50 pence cheaper than runners-up Ipswich Town. The two clubs are the only teams selling pints for less than £4.00 at their stadiums on a matchday.

Others, such as Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth, have their prices fixed at £4.00 which still represents good value for money in the current climate. At the other end of the scale, Arsenal and West Ham are named as the clubs with the most expensive drinks at £6.30 per pint.

Leicester City are said to price their pints at £5.80 each, with Chelsea coming in slightly cheaper at £5.70 per pint. Tottenham fans can buy pints at home matches for £5.10 each, while Manchester City and Liverpool charge £4.60 and £4.40 respectively.

The study also suggests that Ipswich are the overall cheapest Premier League team to follow this season. The Blues are said to offer the best value for money when prices for food and drink in the stadium, adult tickets and season tickets are taken into account.

Southampton and Nottingham Forest also impressed with their overall score, while Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea are said to be the most expensive clubs to follow. The cheapest adult season ticket at the Emirates Stadium is reported to cost an eye-watering £1,073.

West Ham have the cheapest adult season ticket in the Premier League at £345, but the Hammers scored more highly on other prices. The honour of the cheapest single adult ticket goes to Liverpool, with Reds fans reportedly able to watch their team at Anfield for just £9.00.

Wolves lead the way when it comes to selling cheap home shirts, with fans charged £58 to wear the famous old gold in the Molineux stands. The most expensive shirts are sold by Tottenham and Chelsea, who charge £85 each. Supporters can also buy player-issue versions for a whopping £125.
