This Twitter thread is a long one but check out the season ticket prices in Germany:

"The Bundesliga is the best-attended football league on earth.

Almost 19 million tickets were sold to 1. and 2. Bundesliga games in 18/19.

How much does it cost to be a fan in Germany?

In Germany Football is seen as a social good particularly for the younger generation, keeps them off the streets etc.

The government support football not like in this country where we are left to our own devices and treated like criminals.

Not sure what point you are making.

If you mean they have good tv deals then that enables lower season ticket prices. Isn’t the point often made that the premier league could slash ticket prices and wouldn’t notice much difference as the vast majority of their income comes from tv and sponsorship
 
Match day experience is better than here too!

Maybe the youngens don't cause bother at the match and the government just see it as a social event where as here they just see it as riff raff get together that uses more of our police resources.

Nothing like a bit of drama.

Give your head a shake. Going to a game is about the same price as a meal out and half the price of going to see a show. The fact that all of the Premier League games are between 90% - 100% attendance seems to indicate that pricing is about right when you take supply and demand into account. Folks who don't want to fork out can always find the game on somewhere albeit a crappy stream

It's also the wealthiest country in Europe and has an 18 team top division. The lack of 2 smaller teams helps bring up the average.

And for all the bluster, looking at that thread those prices are creeping up to PL levels. Top price at Dortmund is €938 (£840) which is basically how much it costs to watch football in Liverpool or Manchester ie. not London but for two fewer home games. Other clubs are near their PL equivalents. I'd be pissed off having to pay €795 to watch Freiburg for example.

The real difference is those standing prices at the lower end. Though until safe-standing is allowed here that's not a fair comparison.

Bayern does seem exceptional value, mind.
 
I like the way they cut you loose also for below 40% attendance I think it was.

Dortmond that took 500 season tickets away from lads for next season.

Nope not for Manchester, you can get a £325 man city season ticket - not a couple of hundred available either. It's the whole of the tier 3 south stand halfway up and beyond.

True enough, but I said top price. Pretty much all clubs will have tiering.
 
Love the fact you can sit in your seat, pay 5 euro deposit for a plastic cup, and have your pint filled with the wave of a hand... no having to chuck 3-4 pints down your throat in 15 mins before the second half...
 
You don't look at the top flight to judge the strength of the nations football, look at the lower leagues.

The numbers that attend games throughout the pyramid in England are incredible.
