The cheapest tickets inside Craven Cottage on Saturday are located in the Family Zone of the Johnny Haynes Stand. Some tickets in this area cost £35 for adults. However, as @AwayDays_ points out on X.com, ticket prices in some areas of the new Riverside Stand cost up to £125.
Fulham fans protest in November
Before Fulham’s league match against Manchester United on November 4, 2023, fans of the Thameside club protested against the rising ticket prices at the club.
The most expensive tickets for the match against United cost £160, with fans also pointing to the 18% rise in season ticket prices from last season.
The protest involved Fulham fans marching along Stevenage Road towards the ground with a huge sign reading, “We can’t afford to price out fans.”

In the 18th minute of the game, fans inside the ground lifted yellow cards that read: “Please don’t price us out.”
