Arsenal offers the most expensive single ticket in the Premier League at 100 pounds (US$162), followed by Chelsea at 87 pounds and Tottenham at 80 pounds .
Liverpool charges 48 pounds for its most lucrative seat. Premier League winner Manchester United charges 28 pounds as its cheapest entry fee, with the most expensive ticket selling for 55 pounds.
The league said clubs try to offer prices for fans with different budgets.
"With Premier League grounds over 92 percent full on average in each of the last three seasons, fans are enjoying the football and the overall matchday experiences that are on offer," the league said in a statement.
"It is also worth taking into account that fans want to watch games featuring top talent in safe stadia; our clubs have invested more than 2 billion pounds in facilities and continue to invest heavily in developing and acquiring the best possible players to make the whole fan experience as good as possible."
