World’s Soccer Price Index; England Most Expensive. The MLS In The US #5.
GoEuro and Onefootball calculate the cost of attending the top division games in 25 countries around the world
Berlin, 09/23/2015: With MLS League matches well underway, GoEuro.com, the search engine for comparing flights, coach and rail travel options across Europe, has partnered with Onefootball to calculate the cost of attending the top division games in 25 countries around the world.
Taking top spot for the most expensive country to go to a match is England, with Premier League tickets costing an average of $82.60 per ticket. This is closely followed by Spain where tickets cost an average of $78.09. In the US, an average ticket to attend an MLS game costs about $46.22, which puts the USA at the 5th most expensive on this ranking.
Utilising several world rankings including UEFA, FIFA, and third party databases, GoEuro.com and Onefootball found the best value leagues, based on the quality of the league and the cost of the ticket, are Germany, followed by Spain, Portugal and finally England.
Naren Shaam, CEO of GoEuro said: “It costs almost the same to travel to Germany to see a Bundesliga match as it does to stay in the UK and attend a Premier League game. It’s interesting how each week more than 2,000 British fans travel to see BorussiaDortmund play, and the attraction that these European games generate on the Americans on a weekly basis.”
