Price of Football 2017: National League costs are down

Boreham Wood introduced a £100 season ticket in an attempt to increase local support

The National League has seen the fewest number of ticket price increases across the English leagues for the 2017-18 season.

Season ticket prices - in both the cheapest and most expensive categories - were reduced. The most expensive average season ticket is £297.21, down from £318.98 last season.

Four clubs kept their prices the same or reduced them across the board - Macclesfield, Tranmere Rovers, Wrexham and Hartlepool United.

Sutton United and Woking offer the cheapest season tickets of any league - at £99. They are followed by Boreham Wood, who have a season ticket priced at £100 - the same amount as over 4,000 fans paid to watch all of Huddersfield Town's home Premier League games in a special offer.
