FOR the first time ever, the basic price of a Premier League match-day ticket has risen above £30, a BBC study found yesterday.

The 6 per cent rise was labelled a “rip-off” by shadow sports minister Clive Efford, with the league attempting to defend the extortionate prices by claiming that the study was “misleading.”

The study also found that the most expensive season ticket is still Arsenal at £2,013.
