If recession was not enough to deter English fans from flocking into stadiums, the hike in EPL ticket prices has led to outrage among the English football fraternity.

All major clubs have hiked ticket prices which has led to steady decline in attendances. Manchester United is being investigated by Britain’s competition watchdog after fans of the English champions complained about a sharp rise in ticket prices and that season ticketholders were being forced to buy tickets for matches they did not want to see.

In this precarious scenario, fan-to-fan ticket exachanges like Seatwave have come in really handy. Fans who have booked sports tickets at high prices have been able to sell them to potential buyers without the hassle of going through the ticket offices.

There has been discontent among fans that League Cup matches have been excluded from the season ticket plans further relegating the importance of the League Cup.

January should hopefully see an influx of quality players, and attendances should be on the rise !
