League One season ticket prices rise by 6.7% average for 2026/27 season
Many fans across the four tiers of England’s football pyramid will need to pay more for their season tickets for 2026/27 following an increase in prices.
More than 60 percent of the 72 clubs across the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two have put their season tickets on sale for the 2026/27 season and the average price has increased across all four divisions.
Mansfield Town released their season tickets through early bird access this week and confirmed a ‘modest increase’ in price has been implemented. Early bird prices for seats in the Quarry Lane and Radford Family stands have been set at £380.
“This adjustment allows us to continue meeting rising expenses while maintaining investment in the team and matchday experience. We have worked hard to keep the increase as low as possible and remain committed to providing value for our supporters,” Stags announced.
The increase in Mansfield Town season ticket prices for next season is part of an overall 6.7 percent average hike in League One, according to AceOdds figures. This is the second highest average division rise throughout the pyramid, ahead of League Two (3.3%) and the Premier League (4.4%). The Championship has recorded the highest increase, with a reported average of 7.1 percent in their early bird season tickets.
Lincoln City and Bradford City have the biggest proportional price increases in League One and they are also the respective second and third-biggest jumps across the top four divisions. Lincoln’s prices have spiked by an extra £46 (18.4%) for next season, while Bradford’s have increased by £50 (16.7%).
