Depending on the team that you're playing against, some tickets can be quite expensive. This is due to the various 'bands' For instance, A band teams are Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Man City - Liverpool and Spurs, I think. I know the Sky six teams are there. Those tickets can be as high as £70- depending on where you are seated. I think the average price is about £60.
Some clubs like Watford, Swansea and Everton do try to keep their ticket prices low. For instance, Everton and Watford brought forward the notion of topping out at £30 a ticket (at the most) and were promptly over voted by the other PL clubs. Swansea actually have a representitive of club supporters on their board, so the club's ceiling for their supporters' tickets are £22- and near to the end of the season, supporters who show up to the grounds even get a free jersey.
So yeah, I know you hate this answer, but it really depends.

£70 does seem quite high, but £10 seems very low to me. ~£30 seems about right IMO
The thing is, football used to be a working class game, and it was a rite of passage to take your children to the games on the weekends, and with the increase in prices, most working class fans feel themselves priced out of the game. I think £10 would be good for supporters up to 21- because you tend to be in non or low paying jobs till then, and then just top it out at £30, because you really shouldn't be shelling out £300 for four weeks just to see your local team. That's a travesty.
I'd love them to bring back standing spaces too - but have them be safe this time around.
Cute baby. It will definitely be interesting to see but I fear the biggest victims will be the clubs in the smaller competitions. They are losing a lot of players to the big competitions and now to china too. Will the Mousaga ever end?

"We are doing great under pressure," Van Gaal says. "We have lost four matches in a row."
