Bournemouth Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a3217 on Average to Attend the Premier League Opening Match Against Liverpool<\/h2>\n

How to Get to Anfield from the Vitality Stadium<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

You can go by train, but it will not be a straightforward journey. From Bournemouth, you will have to travel up to London Waterloo (South Western), then walk or get the tube across to Euston where you’ll board your second train all the way up to Liverpool Lime Street. From there, you can either take a bus to the stadium or walk 35 minutes to Anfield. The round-trip, including bus fare, will be \u00a380-\u00a3122. This trip will take about 5 hours.<\/p>\n

You can take the Coach (National Express) to bring the cost down to \u00a339-\u00a364, but it will add two hours to your journey each way.<\/p>\n

Ticket Prices for Liverpool vs Bournemouth<\/h3>\n

A ticket in the away stand for the Liverpool vs Bournemouth game on August 15 costs \u00a330. The cost has remained unchanged for the 10th season running.<\/p>\n

The ticket will get you a spot in the lower tier of the Anfield Road stand. This area hosts approximately 3,000 travelling fans.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Liverpool vs Bournemouth<\/h3>\n

A pint of beer at Anfield costs \u00a33.30 on average. Only Old Trafford and Turf Moor offer cheaper beer in the English top flight.<\/p>\n

Fancy a pre-match pie at Anfield? On average, it will set you back about \u00a33.40. You may also get some combos, bringing the total cost around \u00a35.<\/p>\n

Where to Stay Around Anfield?<\/h3>\n

Liverpool, who are 19\/10 to win the Premier League this season with football betting sites<\/a>, will ring in the 2025\/26 Premier League season with their clash against Bournemouth at 8:00 PM BST on August 15. By the time the match ends, it will be too late for most away fans to travel back to Bournemouth. Luckily, there are plenty of accommodation options available around Anfield.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for an affordable hostel, head to The Liverpool Pod. Prices start at \u00a328 for a dorm and \u00a349 for a private.<\/p>\n

In mid-range, you can check out Radisson Blu Liverpool. A double room at the Radisson goes for about \u00a3120.<\/p>\n

There are also some luxury options available near Anfield. Just 3km away from the stadium, the Municipal Hotel \u2013 MGallery offers a luxurious stay, giving you access to an indoor pool, rooftop bar, and more. Prices start at \u00a3173 for a double room.<\/p>\n

Newcastle Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a3114 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Aston Villa<\/h2>\n

How to Go to Villa Park from St. James’ Park<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

The simplest rail option is the CrossCountry from Newcastle to Birmingham New Street. When booked early, the three-hour journey can cost as little as \u00a336 each way. You can also go via York or Leeds. Journey time is identical, but split tickets can keep the fare comparable.<\/p>\n

When you reach Birmingham, get on a local train or take a \u00a32 city bus. Both will drop you within a 10-minute walk to Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Since the game kicks off at 12:30 PM on August 16, you will have plenty of time to catch the train back to Newcastle. When bought early, expect to pay around \u00a340 for the ticket.<\/p>\n

Ticket Prices for Aston Villa vs Newcastle<\/h3>\n

As an away fan, a ticket to the Premier League opener between Aston Villa and Newcastle United will cost \u00a330. You will be seated at the Doug Ellis Stand upper.<\/p>\n

But don’t expect to see Alexander Isak on your travels, given he is now refusing to appear for the Magpies first team again as he looks to force a move away from the club.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Aston Villa vs Newcastle<\/h3>\n

Unlike Anfield, beer prices are quite steep at Villa Park. According to our data, a pint will set you back about \u00a35.20, making it one of the most expensive watering holes in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Coming to food, the average price of a pie at Villa Park is \u00a33.60, which is pretty decent by 2025 standards.<\/p>\n

Fulham Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a366 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Brighton & Hove Albion<\/h2>\n

How to Go to the Amex Stadium from Craven Cottage<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

To travel to the Amex Stadium, take a through-ticket from London Victoria or London Bridge to Brighton on Southern or Thameslink. Upon reaching, take the free-with-ticket shuttle to Falmer station, which is right next to Brighton’s stadium.<\/p>\n

The fastest advance return tickets booked a month out are about \u00a319. Flexible off-peak day returns are around \u00a327. Lastly, walk-up peak fares can go up to \u00a341 for the 1 hour 25 minute journey, including the walk to the stadium.<\/p>\n

Since the game kicks off at 3:00 PM BST, there is plenty of time to head back.<\/p>\n

Ticket Prices for Brighton vs Fulham<\/h3>\n

A travelling Fulham supporter will have to pay \u00a330 for a ticket to attend the Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion. Away fans visiting the Amex Stadium sit in the lower tiers of the South Stand. Around 3,000 tickets are allotted to away fans.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Brighton vs Fulham<\/h3>\n

Brighton & Hove Albion’s Amex Stadium offers the ninth-cheapest pint of beer in the Premier League. Here, a pint will set you back \u00a34.95. If you want a heavy pie at the Amex, you will have to fork out \u00a34.10.<\/p>\n

West Ham Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a3123 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Sunderland<\/h2>\n

How to Go to the Stadium of Light from the London Stadium<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

LNER runs four direct London King\u2019s Cross to Sunderland services daily. It is the fastest route from London to Sunderland, covering the 268-mile run in about 3 hours 15 minutes. When booked a month out, the return tickets start around \u00a342.<\/p>\n

If you cannot get one due to limited availability, take the King’s Cross train to Newcastle and then hop on the 35-minute service to Sunderland. Total travel time will be just around 4 hours, but it could be a bit cheaper.<\/p>\n

After getting down at Sunderland, walk 20 minutes to the Stadium of Light. You could also opt for the Tyne & Wear Metro, which is only a five-minute walk away from the entrance for away fans.<\/p>\n

Ticket Price for Sunderland vs West Ham<\/h3>\n

An away ticket at the Stadium of Light costs \u00a330, irrespective of the category. You will be seated in the upper tier of the North Stand behind one of the goals.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Sunderland vs West Ham<\/h3>\n

A pint of cold beer in the Stadium of Light costs \u00a34.10 on average. One piece of delicious pie, meanwhile, will set you back \u00a33.10.<\/p>\n

Burnley Fans Have to Pay \u00a3100 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n

How to Get to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from Turf Moor<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

The most straightforward route for Clarets supporters is Burnley, Manchester Road to Preston and then to London Euston (Avanti West Coast). The total journey takes around two hours and forty-five minutes. You could get return tickets at roughly \u00a332 if you book a month in advance.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Preston line is often busy. In that case, you could change at Manchester Piccadilly, which would only add 15 minutes to your commute.<\/p>\n

This split-ticket combination goes for about \u00a358 off-peak. After reaching Euston, take the Victoria line to Seven Sisters. Then ride the London Overground for about three minutes to get to White Hart Lane. The new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be a short stroll away. Door to door, the commute will take you around three hours.<\/p>\n

Ticket Price for Tottenham vs Burnley<\/h3>\n

Due to the Premier League away price capping, you will not have to shell out more than \u00a330 for your ticket. You will be seated in the northeast corner.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Tottenham vs Burnley<\/h3>\n

Based in north London, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium does not offer anything for cheap. A pint of beer here goes for about \u00a35.10 on average. Pie typically costs around \u00a34.00 at the venue.<\/p>\n

Man City Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a370 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Wolves<\/h2>\n

How to Get to Molineux from Etihad Stadium<\/h3>\n

Train<\/h4>\n

Unlike most, Manchester City fans have a pretty straightforward away day coming up on August 16.<\/p>\n

City supporters can catch the hourly Avanti West Coast or CrossCountry train from Manchester Piccadilly and ride it straight to Wolverhampton. The journey takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

When booked a month in advance, return tickets start around just \u00a318. Typical off-peak day returns are around \u00a331, while walk-up peak fares can exceed \u00a346.<\/p>\n

From the station, it is a 15-minute walk to Molineux. Although most fans prefer to walk, you can also opt to hop the 79 bus to Molineux. Return fare costs about \u00a32.<\/p>\n

Ticket Price for Wolves vs Man City<\/h3>\n

Man City fans will have to pay a fixed \u00a330 for their away seat in the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on August 16. Away fans generally sit in the lower tier of the Steve Bull Stand.<\/p>\n

Beer and Pie Price for Wolves vs Man City<\/h3>\n

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux offers one of the least expensive beer-pie combos on the Premier League calendar.<\/p>\n

A pie at Molineux goes for \u00a33.60, while beer costs around \u00a34.00. This means you will have to pay just over \u00a37.60 for the package when you are visiting Molineux on a match day.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace Fans Will Have to Pay \u00a347 on Average to Attend the Premier League Clash Vs Chelsea<\/h2>\n

How to Get to Stamford Bridge from Selhurst Park<\/h3>\n

Train\/Tube<\/h4>\n

Crystal Palace fans kick off the 2025\/26 Premier League season with a short south-to-west trip to fellow London club Chelsea. As expected, the commute is rather pocket-friendly.<\/p>\n

Get moving by taking the Southern or London Overground train from Selhurst to Clapham Junction. After the 25-minute commute, change to an Overground to West Brompton. The journey will take less than 10 minutes. Upon reaching West Brompton, it is a 10-minute stroll to the away turnstiles of Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Off-peak contactless fares are as low as \u00a32.60 each way. Singles rise to \u00a33.20 during peak hours, while the daily cap for zones 1-4 is \u00a311.70. Door-to-door, the journey will take you less than an hour.<\/p>\n
