A pint at a football game could cost more than £13 by 2030, new research found.
Beer at Arsenal FC’s Emirates Stadium and West Ham Utd’s London Stadium could cost £13.12 in 2030 when using December’s average alcohol inflation rate of 9.6%.
On average a pint at a Premier League game is expected to rise from £4.60 to £9.57 in the next six years, jumping at a rate of 62p per year.
However, the difference in prices between clubs in London and those up north couldn’t be clearer.
Some of the cheapest stadiums are Manchester United’s Old Trafford and Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane, both of which currently charge fans £3 per pint.
Yet by 2030, both teams are predicted to charge £6.25.
This is cheaper than the £6.30 pint both Arsenal and West Ham currently sell.
On average, a draught beer at a London game will be more than £10 by 2029 and will cost £11.27 a year later.
Outside of the capital, pints will cost £8.48, the research by football shirt retailer UKSoccerShop revealed.
A spokesperson for UKSoccerShop said: “Drinkflation is on the rise, and with UK households feeling the cost of living squeeze, hospitality services trying to work around spiraling costs, with some choosing to serve weaker beer. It’s likely to affect our stadiums, too.”
