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 the proposed football regulator on the average price of a premiership football game ticket.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The impact assessment for the Football Governance Bill estimates that the cost of regulation for all 5 divisions in scope of the regime will be between £103 million and £149 million, over a ten-year period. The Government does not believe that these costs will justify increases in ticket prices as they will be distributed proportionately across clubs over a significant period of time.
