Football: Tickets
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to football ticket prices on grassroots participation.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The matter of football ticket prices is a commercial decision for individual clubs and leagues to take. The Government has introduced legislation to establish an Independent Football Regulator to protect and promote the sustainability of English football in the interests of fans and the local communities football clubs serve. This will mean that clubs are required to consult fans on key issues, including ticket prices.
