Taking a StandNot since the start of the 1994/95 football season have we seen stand areas in the gratuity two divisions of the English football league. But besides much like the movie Jurassic Park these stands are coming back, without the death and dinosaurs this time however. The appeal of ticket hurts are now ridiculously high especially considering the economic problems we are in. Average ticket prices in the Premier League are the highest within the four major European leagues, the others being La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A. The average ticket price of a Premier League game is 28.30, this is a huge price to pay to see a game of football. This compared to the average price of a ticket to a Bundesliga football match which is only 10, clearly shows the just how ball all over the gulf in prices are. However many clubs can claim that this influx of cash each week is needed to support the ever growing nourishment costs of all seated stadiums and to support the club financia lly at the same time. So if only there was a way to lower the prices yet allow the club to make more money from match attendances. Well my friends I think I have found the cure to this disease.

Now these standing areas would not be the same dangerous, hooliganism plagued standing areas of old no they would be cheap, safe standing areas. Introducing safe standing areas would lower ticket prices and season tickets dramatically this can be proven by looking at one of the largest football clubs in the world, Bayern Munich. You would expect a club of such magnitude to have season ticket prices as high as the moon, but youd be wrong. The low costing season ticket for the standing area is only 150... ...s a credit not only German football but standing areas as well. The premier league should be looking over its shoulder, for everyday they waste squabbling over what to do the Bundesliga gets stronger and will soon be challenging to take over the title of Best League in the World. Even the lousy, misery filled stadiums of the horrific Scottish Premier League (SPL) have followed Germanys lead, by displace its ban against standing areas. This shows just how far behind the apparently almighty Premier League is, that essentially an amateur league is further ahead than it is. as luck would have it the situation is looking brighter as supporters groups from 12 Premier League clubs have confirmed they are backing a trial for standing areas and despite the circumstance that progress is slow, the wheels are in motion and it is only a matter of time before the momentum begins to build.
