* By Alex Miller Follow Alex on Twitter @AlexMiller73 22 July 2014 Despite Premier League clubs collecting massively enhanced payments last season, this season and next season from the latest TV deals, worth £5.5billion over three years from 2013-16, the benefits are not reaching fans, with 13 sides raising season ticket prices this season. With clubs looking to maximise revenues to be able to compete in the Premier League within the constraints of FFP, fans are once again paying increased prices. The biggest price hikes have been made by Burnley and QPR, both promoted for the coming season; Burnley have raised the price of their cheapest season ticket prices by a whopping 47%. Substantial rises have also been announced at Stoke and Hull. The average 'entry level' (lowest price) adult season ticket in the Premier League is now £526, up 6.5 per cent; while the average top-price season ticket is now £870, up 7 per cent. The table below contains pricing for standard, adult, non-concessionary season tickets, as provided by clubs. A whole range of other prices are or were available in various early bird and concessionary packages. For full details of each club's pricing policies (which per club fill at least a page), do please feel free to visit their websites.
