Top of the table is Arsenal where the most expensive season ticket will set you back an eye-watering £2013. The club would no doubt point out they have one of the most modern stadiums in Europe to justify the price. And of course ticket-holders get the pleasure of watching their side win the fourth-place trophy every year.

Near neighbours Spurs don’t have that excuse. White Hart Lane was built in 1899 and although extensively renovated cannot really be used to justify the club having the second most expensive season tickets on the list, at £1895. And with a sixth place finish last season we’re not sure the football can either.

There is clearly a London premium as the next club on the list is also from the English capital. Chelsea were the third place finishers in the league last season and at £1250 for a season ticket are also third most expensive.

The highest priced season tickets outside London are for Man United, fourth on the list at £950. After a seventh place finish last year, the club are looking for the Old Trafford faithful to contribute to their recovery under Louis van Gaal. Clearly the recent £750m kit deal with Adidas wasn’t enough.

The first newly promoted club to make the top ten are also based in London. QPR may have a capacity of less than 20,000 at Loftus Road but at £949 a ticket they are determined to make what they can from the ground. Harry Redknapp spending sprees don’t come cheap and give QPR fifth spot on the list.

Also with a lot to justify is West Ham at number six on the list - ticket price £910. The Hammers may have a proud tradition in English football but that seems an awful lot of money to pay to watch Andy Carroll and co. play Sam Allardyce’s style of football.

The second most expensive club outside London is last season’s runners-up Liverpool, with a ticket cost of £869. To have a ticket to Anfield last season was pretty much a guarantee of exciting football but fans will be aware they are paying a premium to fund the planned renovations of the old stadium and increase the capacity from its current low level of 45,000.

The Premier League Champions are only eighth on the list; a Manchester City fan can see their multi-millionaire team for the season for a relatively reasonable top price of £860. It is also worth mentioning that the club have a number of season tickets available at just £299, by far the lowest in the league. Just goes to show the benefits of being owned by a billionaire oil oligarch.

Number nine on the list are Southampton, whose season ticket is just £7 per year less than City at £853. Considering they have earned over £90m in this transfer window so far you’d think the Saints could cut their fans a break.

A second newly-promoted club rounds out the top ten. Leicester are charging their fans a hefty £730 for a season ticket. They are in the Premier League for the first time in seven years and fans are paying dearly for the privilege of top-flight football.
