THE average AFC Bournemouth supporter paid £10.23 to witness a goal live during the Premier League season.

The figure comes from findings by money-saving website Voucherbox, which analysed the average price of a season ticket at all top-flight English grounds and compared this with the total number of goals scored in each stadium.

Fans visiting the Vitality Stadium paid £10.23 to see a Premier League goal based on the 64 which took place.

On the top end of the spectrum, Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium forked out a whopping £27.52 per goal scored – the highest amount in the league, despite witnessing 55 goals at Arsenal’s home ground during this campaign.

The theme of expensive goals continues across north London, where a combination of expensive season tickets (£1,300) and a resilient Spurs defence meant that each goal witnessed in the final season at White Hart Lane cost fans £23.75.

At the other end of the scale, relegated Hull and Sunderland will take little comfort from the knowledge that their sides were in the top three for value for money in the Premier League. The Tigers claimed top spot as their £432 season ticket and 63 goals netted in the KCOM Stadium meant that it cost just £6.86 per goal.

Unfortunately for both teams, the majority of goals scored in their home stadium were at the wrong end (56% and 68% respectively).

Marco Piu, Voucherbox general manager said: “While fans at the KCOM Stadium and the Stadium of Light technically got the best value for money, we’re not sure their fans would agree, given that both sides went down this season. It’s even worse for Boro fans though – they had to pay over £13 per goal and still saw their side get relegated!

“If you’re after more goals for your buck, we recommend a trip to Germany, in particular to see Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg or Ingolstadt.”
