The cheapest Championship away days for Preston North End fans... and the most expensive
Following PNE away in the Championship is not cheap...
Some of the most expensive away tickets for Preston North End fans in the Championship also coincide with their furthest trips.
Preston are struggling at the start of the 2026-27 season, but that hasn't stopped The Gentry from following the club in numbers, with the away following selling out their allocation for Saturday's visit to Wrexham most recently.
Football is an expensive hobby these days, though, and it's not getting any cheaper. Especially after you factor in costs for travel, refreshment and any potential accommodation for the really long trips.
Research conducted by OLBG found that away fans in the Championship are paying an average of 11 per cent more for a ticket than the £30 away ticket price cap that is enforced on Premier League teams.
The most expensive away ticket in the second tier is found at Queen's Park Rangers, at £41 for an adult general admission.
North End fans travelled there last month to see their side throw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against 10 men.
The only other team to charge £40 is Southampton, while Swansea City and Norwich City, two more mammoth treks for fans to make, ranking joint third at £37 a ticket.
In contrast, Preston are right at the bottom of the table with the joint-second cheapest away ticket alongside Burnley, West Ham United and Charlton Athletic at £30.
That's cheaper than League One club Sheffield Wednesday and the same as the likes of Leicester City, Bromley and Mansfield Town, and only a single pound dearer than League Two's Exeter City.
The only club cheaper than Preston in the Championship is Derby County, with a £26 away ticket.
The full Championship away day ticket table reads:
1 - Queen’s Park Rangers - £41
2 - Southampton - £40
Joint 3 - Swansea City, Norwich City - £37
Joint 5 - Bolton, Watford - £36
7 - Wolves - £35.50
8 - Bristol City - £35
9 - Millwall - £34
Joint 10 - Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United, Middlesbrough - £33
13 - Birmingham City - £32.50
Joint 14 - Cardiff City, Lincoln City, Portsmouth, West Brom, Wrexham - £32
19 - Stoke City - £31
Joint 20 - Preston North End, Charlton Athletic, West Ham United, Burnley - £30
24 - Derby County £26
If a Preston fan was to attend all 23 away games this season, it would cost them £770 on tickets alone.
Preston’s next away game is on October 31 at Stoke City, where manager Graham Alexander will be hoping to avoid a Halloween horror show.
