"The fans that are willing to follow their team to every stadium across the country throughout a season are what make football and the especially the Premier League great, and they're being priced out of the game.
"Bournemouth fans are a perfect example of the growing financial pressure facing football supporters across the country.
"While the club offers some of the more affordable options for home fans, those wanting to follow the Cherries around the country face some of the highest travel costs in the Premier League."
The high overall cost is largely due to travel expenses.
Cherries fans will pay an average of £139.25 for each open return train ticket to away games, the second-highest in the league, totalling £2,645.81 for the season.
Sunderland fans will pay slightly more for travel at £145.78, but Bournemouth still tops the overall expense table.
Despite the high costs, the Cherries offer value in some areas.
The cheapest season ticket is £436, the third lowest in the league.
A replica shirt costs £70, which is among the most affordable in the Premier League.
