Away fans in the Championship are paying an average of 11 per cent more than the £30 Premier League away price cap per ticket when following their clubs on the road this season, as revealed by research from OLBG.
The same research highlighted that QPR have the most expensive away tickets in the EFL, charging visiting fans up to £41 for a ticket to Loftus Road.
The R’s are closely followed by Southampton who, at £40, are the only other EFL team charging away fans £40 or more per ticket.
In fact, 23 of the EFL’s 24 most expensive away tickets are sold by clubs in the Championship. At the other end of the spectrum, League Two Crawley Town have the cheapest away tickets in the 72. Travelling fans pay up to just £22 for a visit to the Broadfield Stadium.
The EFL Away Fan Price Index compares the price of tickets for away fans at every club in the Championship, League One and League Two. The clubs are then ranked in descending order depending on how much they charge visiting fans.
The clubs are then ranked against the other 72 teams within the EFL and also within their own respective league to show how they compare. When a club has a tiered pricing structure for away fans, the most expensive ticket was included within the study to show how much fans could be paying when visiting the stadium.
