CLUBS have been splashing the cash this summer, but nine greedy Premier League clubs are now asking their fans to do the same as they increase season ticket prices.

That's despite sharing a whopping £5billion broadcast rights package.

Eleven of the 20 sides did freeze their prices, including Liverpool who have made four expensive signings this summer.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea fans will all be pleased that their ticket prices have frozen- but Arsenal fans are forced to shell out the most in the country.

The north London side's season tickets are priced at an eye-watering £891, but have been frozen after missing out on Champions League next season for the second year in a row.

Newbies Wolves, Fulham and Cardiff all increased their prices after promotion into the Premier League.

Wolves' tickets will now set fans back £125 - or 32.5 per cent - more than last season.

Spurs have whacked up the price of their tickets by £100, which the club have claimed is as a result of their new £1billion stadium.

But fans are understandably aggrieved, as the north London side have yet to sign anyone new this summer.

Manchester City's season tickets are still at the cheaper end of the table, despite finishing last season at the top of the Premier League table.

Their season tickets also have a lot of fanfare associated with them- much like their style of play last season.

Fans are treated to a complimentary wallet as well as a scarf and confetti to use in their first home game to create atmosphere at the Etihad stadium.

Newcastle United fans have seen their tickets rise by £27, but many seats are unsold as a stand against Mike Ashley's approach to the transfer window and general overall running of their club.

The Football Supporters Federation, as quotes by the Mirror, said: “The Premier League rakes in billions in broadcasting revenue and fans are an integral of that ‘product’ broadcasters pay so handsomely for.

“Clubs should be using the billions to ensure their traditional crowd is protected. Lower income fans shouldn’t be priced out.”
