The most expensive pie and tea in the Premier League is to be found at West Ham’s London Stadium, BBC Sport’s Price of Football study has revealed.
West Ham’s new ground, which boasts the top flight’s priciest pie at £4.10, tops the table for the most expensive half-time snacks with supporters having to fork out £6.50 for food and a drink.
That is a hefty £3 more than at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea charge £1.50 less than anyone else in the Premier League. The Blues may also be able to lay claim to one of the cheapest teas in West London, charging fans a solitary pound for a brew.
A cup of tea can set fans back £2.50 at Liverpool and Manchester United, £2.40 at the London Stadium and £2.30 and Tottenham and Arsenal.
Indeed the BBC’s survey revealed that a half-time cuppa has risen in price by 8.38 per cent in the five years since 2011, whilst pie prices have risen a dramatic 25.09 per cent in the same period. Inflation in the same period has been 5.2 per cent.
The BBC’s survey also revealed that London fans are paying some of the highest season ticket prices in the country, and indeed Europe, with a season ticket at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium priced between £1,014 and £2,013.
West Ham also charge over £1,000 for their dearest season ticket, though on their move to the London Stadium they did make a selection of seats available for just £289 a year.
