(Note: These are the most expensive season tickets that these clubs offer, not their standard price)
10. Roma (Italy)
Price: £1,210
Despite recently being flush with American money and holding a 52,000 capacity stadium that is rarely empty, the Romans charge an outrageous price for devoted fans to make regular pilgrimages to watch them.
9. Chelsea (England)
Price: £1,250
The Blues have been notoriously expensive for a while now, and the prices seem at odds with their predominately working class support. However, Roman Abramovic needs to help fund those big money moves any way he can.
8. Real Madrid (Spain)
Price: £1,460
Considering they have the best players in the world on show every week, Madrid’s prices are comparatively fair in relation to the rest of this list.
7. Inter Milan (Italy)
Price: £1,800
Inter are charging a hefty amount for a club that have fallen from grace recently. With no Champions League football to soften the blow, and a series of ageing stars on their books, it’s a wonder that they sell many season tickets at all.
6. Tottenham Hotspur (England)
Price: £1,895
Spurs may be a London club, but they’re certainly not one of the bigger ones that can half justify charging massive prices. If they miss out on Champions League qualification again this year, fans may well wonder what exactly they’re paying for.
5. Arsenal (England)
Price: £2,013
Arsenal are still trying to pay off their shiny new stadium (which isn’t so new anymore) and can just about get away with charging more than Spurs for a season ticket.
4. Fiorentina (Italy)
Price: £2,652
The biggest shock on the list sees Fiorentina ranking highly for unusually expensive season tickets. In possession of a talented squad and able to offer Europa League football, they surely cannot justify these hefty figures?
3. Lazio (Italy)
Price: £2,993
Trumping their cross city neighbours by some way, Lazio have unusually high prices for a team that have been under performing for so long.
2. Palermo (Italy)
Price: £2,994
Considering Palermo were in Serie B last season, it’s rather unreasonable for them to ask fans to cough up so much. Especially when you consider that they are forced to watch the action from miles back thanks to the athletics track that encircles the pitch.
1. AC Milan (Italy)
Price: £3,600
Milan have always been Europe’s glamour club, and it’s not hard to understand why when they charge this much for a season ticket. Fans have every right to feel short changed recently, though, and it will be no surprise to see attendances dwindle if their performances on the pitch fail to improve.
