Nottingham Forest fans receive Premier League boost as key ticket moves confirmed

Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to maintain the current £30 price cap on away tickets for the next three years.

The initial price cap was first introduced in the 2016/17 Premier League campaign as part of the Premier League Away Supporters’ Initiative, which aimed to provide fans with a range of measures to enhance their experience while travelling to support their individual clubs. The £30 cap will be reviewed in 2025 in its ninth year of implementation.

In a statement released by the Premier League earlier today, all 20 clubs within the top flight of English football, which includes Nottingham Forest for the first time in 23 years after their success in the play-off final, agreed to prioritise 'the crucial importance of supporters' to provide the fans with the best possible atmosphere when travelling to support their team.

The statement also outlines that clubs approved the introduction of an 'action plan to address improving the League’s collective offer for fans', which includes developing a series of new 'League-wide measures and commitments' for supporters.

The teams have now endorsed the idea of appointing Fan Advisory Boards and to nominate a Board-level official in charge of the fan's club engagement activities moving forward.

Elsewhere, a new rule has also been agreed which will ensure away supporters will be seated together at all stadiums while also allocating at least one block of away fan seats pitch-side for each fixture, which reinforces the idea of providing fans with an optimal experience when enduring the added cost of travelling across the country to offer their support.
