Uefa confirm major change to European football in huge boost to Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal fans
UEFA have announced a major change to ticket prices for this season’s Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
The European governing body confirmed a price cap for away fans following their favourite club in various stadium visits around the continent.
The maximum ticket prices for away fans will be €60 (£51m) in the Champions League, €40 (£34) in the Europa League and €20 (£17) in the Conference League.
Things will get even better next season as visiting supporters will pay no more than €50 (£42) in the Champions League, €35 (£29) in the Europa League and €20 (£17) in the Conference League.
Uefa came to the decision following an agreement with European Clubs’ Association and Football Supporters’ Europe.
A statement read: “Starting with the 2024/25 season, the maximum ticket prices for away fans will be €60 in the UEFA Champions League, €40 in the UEFA Europa League and €20 in the UEFA Conference League.
“This will be further reduced in the 2025/26 season to a maximum price of €50 in the UEFA Champions League, €35 in the UEFA Europa League and still €20 in the UEFA Conference League.”
The news will be welcomed by the Premier League’s representatives for this season’s Uefa competitions.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa fans are set for four trips in the Champions League.
The same goes for Tottenham and Manchester United supporters in the Europa League.
Chelsea fans, on the other hand, will be going on three away games in the Conference League.
There will be more trips in the knockout stages if the Premier League clubs finish in the top 24 places in their competition.
If they finish in the top eight of their respective league phase then they will qualify straight to the Last 16 and avoid the play-off round.
