Summary
- West Ham is the home of the most expensive pint in the Premier League.
- Arsenal drop to second spot having previously been first.
- Manchester United charge the least, with pints costing just £3 at Old Trafford.
For many matchgoing fans, there are three key ingredients to creating the perfect footballing experience. The first is what happens on the pitch. Ideally, you want to see your team pick up all three points, but as the demand for a quality performance increases, supporters have an expectation to at least be entertained. Then there’s the food. Whether it be burgers or pies, the culinary experience is sometimes just as important as what goes on over the 90 minutes.
Finally, for those who can drink it, sipping an ice-cold pint is also of high priority. But in some Premier League stadiums, this luxury can come at a pretty penny. Thanks to OLBG, we now know just how much the price of a pint is at every Premier League stadium, with one title challenger almost topping the list at more than double the cost of the cheapest beer.

Premier League Season Ticket Prices (2024/25)
The average season ticket for the Premier League’s 2024/2025 season has increased by 7.5%. We have ranked all clubs from most expensive to cheapest.
West Ham Home to the Most Expensive Pint
Arsenal are closely behind in second
It is a well-known fact that most things are more expensive in London. Properties. Day trips. And also pints. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the two clubs home to the most premium prices come from the area. Both Arsenal and West Ham deem it acceptable to charge their fans the most of all clubs, with Hammers retailing at £7.30 and the Gunners selling at £6.35.
The tipple of choice at the Emirates is either a Budweiser or a Camden’s Ale, while at the London Stadium, the cheapest option is a pint of Fosters. Given that neither side appear to be struggling for money, made apparent when £100 million was traded between the two teams in exchange for Declan Rice, the prices do seem to be rather overboard and will only be deemed acceptable if both teams can finally sign a striker good enough to help them progress.

Manchester United the Cheapest Option
The 20-time English Champions show good value for money
Cheap is often a word used to describe Manchester United, or more specifically the Glazer family, in a negative context. The failure to invest money in repairing a leaky stadium has meant that it is now deemed more financially sensible to build an entire new home rather than redevelop the historic Theatre of Dreams.
Perhaps to make up for the poor conditions at Old Trafford, the Red Devils can proudly boast that they are the exclusive provider of the cheapest pint in the entire Premier League. For just £3, fans can get their hands on a bottle of Carling to wet their appetite ahead of what is often an unpredictable affair under Ruben Amorim.
The cheap prices came into effect in 2021 after members of the Manchester United Supporters Trust spoke directly with the club after there was criticism over how much fans were being charged in a pre-season friendly against Brentford. In announcing the news, a statement from the supporters trust read:
“We are pleased they listened and have reviewed the pricing for the 21/22 season. This is another step in the right direction of putting fans first. Well done to the club for listening and agreeing to this.”
Given the recent cost-cutting measures at Old Trafford and the mid-season hike in season ticket prices that led to fan protests, don’t be surprised if there is some lager-related inflation at the Theatre of Dreams in the not too distant future.
Just above United by the small sum of 30p and 50p respectively, is Liverpool and newly promoted Ipswich Town. Despite making it back to the top flight, the Tractor Boys have ensured that the cost of a pint remains at the Championship level, charging just £3.50.

Leicester Charging High Prices
The likes of Man City and Liverpool are in the bottom half of the table
While Kieran McKenna’s side are keeping prices relatively low, another recently promoted team have gone down the opposite route as Leicester City sit joint third in the pint price standings, charging an incredible £5.80. The Midlands outfit stand alongside Fulham and above other more southern clubs like Chelsea, Southampton, Brentford and Tottenham, who all feature inside the top 10. Crystal Palace also feature rather prominently in 11th.
In the bottom half of the table, Premier League champions Manchester City can be seen handing out drinks for as little as £4.60. Whether or not that will change in order to cover the costs of Erling Haaland’s monstrous contract remains to be seen.
The other four are Wolverhampton Wanderers, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and two coastal clubs in Brighton and Bournemouth as well as Everton are all above the £4 threshold, but remain some of the cheaper options in the division.
