When your team is winning, getting to go to matches and experience those wins – regardless of the money spent – feels priceless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clubs know the money floating around football and when it comes to the Premier League, some tickets are certain to make most fans’ eyes water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Mail Sport spotted a Manchester United hospitality ticket for their upcoming home game against Bayern Munich\u00a0priced at \u00a32,500 per adult, it got us thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, after crunching the numbers, here are the most expensive seats across English football.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
When it comes to the most expensive offerings the obvious conclusion is one of the Big Six.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They have the best players on show, often the biggest stadiums and the most resources, and play in the biggest competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But clubs outside of that still rake in huge sums of money through their lucrative hospitality packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manchester City offer one of the most premium and immersive ticket packages in England<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chelsea sure know how to fine dine their supporters housed in their Platinum VIP lounge<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nottingham Forest’s boardroom experience is a high-end premium option for their supporters<\/p>\n

In the east end of London, West Ham offer fans the chance for a one-of-a-kind matchday package known as the ‘Helicopter Experience’.<\/p>\n
The \u00a34,000 package – which is for two people – includes a private tour over the London skyline in private helicopter; a private tour of their Rush Green Training Ground; private car transfer to the London Stadium; private table in their Forge Lounge, with a three-course meal; complimentary house beer, wine and soft drinks in your lounge space, as well as meet and greet with a West Ham ambassador and lower tier\u00a0seating behind the tunnel for the match.<\/p>\n
It is, unquestionably, one of the most extravagant packages on offer to Premier League fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the other end of the scale you have Wolves who can provide a match-going group with a more affordable, but luxurious, high-end option.<\/p>\n
For the visit of Arsenal on April 20, 2024, one of the biggest games at Molineux across the season, use of Sir Jack’s Restaurant, a package worth \u00a33,420 but suitable for 10 people, is the best in class.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0\u00a3342pp, Wolves fans receive a private table for 10 in the pitch-facing Sir Jack\u2019s Restaurant, along with prime position padded seats.<\/p>\n
As well as this, purchases of this package get three car park passes, a tour of dressing rooms and tunnel areas, a sparkling wine reception, a group photo, and a unique gift and matchday programme for each guest.<\/p>\n
There is also a four-course menu as well as half-time and full-time refreshments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arsenal’s hero experience comes in at more than \u00a32,000-per-person – but the benefits are big<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As well as private booths for dining, fans get to meet a current player and get a pitchside tour<\/p>\n
Speaking of Arsenal, they really push the boat out for their Hero Experience, one of the most sought-after packages given that it has sold out for the remainder of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The four-guest package, priced at a staggering \u00a311,500 for a Category A game, in this case the visit by Liverpool, gives Arsenal fans unprecedented access on a matchday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An example of a menu offered from Arsenal as part of their Hero Experience package<\/p>\n
As well as premium club level match seats, this package serves up pre-match three-course dining, along with half-time and post-match refreshments.<\/p>\n
There is also a presentation from one of Arsenal men’s first-team players of either a squad signed shirt or football – which is to keep – and a private pre-match pitch-side tour with an Arsenal legend.<\/p>\n
In addition the Hero Experience promises a souvenir group photograph with the Arsenal men’s first-team player for all guests; a private booth for four in The Foundry restaurant; complimentary drinks including champagne, house spirits, selected wines, beers and soft drinks throughout matchday, and an announcement in the matchday programme.<\/p>\n
But even Arsenal pulling out all the stops cannot compete with the team taking top spot – the most expensive ticket in English football.<\/p>\n
Step forward – Manchester City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Premier League champions are the best in class on the pitch, and they appear to be so off it as well with their ‘Autograph’ package.<\/p>\n
Priced at an extraordinary \u00a34,200-per-person, this is an unrivalled offering right across the Premier League, with fans getting up, close and personal with Pep Guardiola’s Treble-winning stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Described by Manchester City as ‘one of the most extraordinary experiences in the world of football,’ buyers get:\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fine dining takes place in City’s state-of-the-art Tunnel Club Premier, widely hailed as the most immersive experience anywhere in world football.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the price it costs for one match on the ‘Autograph’ package, Brighton fans could almost attend 10 Category A matches in hospitality\u00a0as a Non 1901 Club Member, with their price for the visit of Man United this season set to \u00a3426pp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For those fans wanting to splash the cash to the tune of \u00a31,000 or more, look to Nottingham Forest, as well as a more familiar big spender in Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The best package on offer for a Category A game at Nottingham Forest is \u00a31,075+VAT-per-person to indulge in The Boardroom Experience.<\/p>\n
Described on Forest’s site as ‘the ultimate premium Premier League experience’, fans are housed in a newly refurbished boardroom for fine dining, before taking a seat in the directors’ box.<\/p>\n
It also includes a fully inclusive drinks package.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manchester City’s Tunnel Club Premier is among the most luxurious spaces in world football<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fans get unprecedented access; able to watch Pep Guardiola and his players in the tunnel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They get to go pitchside and those on the \u00a34,200pp Autograph package get even more perks<\/p>\n
As is typical across Premier League clubs, games are categorised into A, B and C, with A in this case Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Tottenham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A regular ticket at those clubs is expensive, never mind hospitality, and at Chelsea fans looking to attend the visit from Manchester United as a Platinum VIP can expect to pay \u00a31,680 per person.<\/p>\n
Securing a luxury padded seat in the East Stand middle tier, situated on the half-way line, fans are served up a fine-dining three-course menu having had champagne on arrival.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As well as a complimentary bar, there is an appearance from a Chelsea legend as well as a cheese station at full-time for those still feeling peckish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Heading north to Merseyside and over at Everton the most expensive offering available is \u00a3450+VATpp for the Merseyside Derby.<\/p>\n
Like many clubs throughout the league, Everton’s seasonal hospitality packages long since sold out and only a small number of seats are sold on a match-by-match basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over at rivals Liverpool, for the price of \u00a31,026pp, a spot in the 1892 Lounge offers Reds fans a plush seat in the\u00a0Main Stand, next to the Directors’ Box in the Lower Tier, as well as access to the lounge three hours prior to kick-off and a four-course meal.<\/p>\n
There is also complimentary beer, house wine and soft drinks, as well as a matchday gift and a visit from a former Liverpool men’s player or former women’s player.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fine dining is a given at these price points, with Nottingham Forest showing off their cuisine<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brentford’s Oxford & Cambridge package is their most expensive, set at \u00a3430-per-person<\/p>\n
