Ticket prices are getting too high in England
The FSA have revealed a statement condemning the ticket price increases across the Premier League, pointing out that loyal fans are increasingly being priced out of the game.
The body points to the fact that the matchday revenue clubs earn pales in comparison to the £10 billion Premier League TV deal.
They thus question why clubs are intent on increasing ticket prices, which barely make a dent in their revenue, and have called on all teams to stop using PSR as an excuse to justify their actions.

Daniel Levy paid himself a bonus
It was reported by The Daily Mail back in April that Levy handed himself a £3m bonus in addition to the £3.6m salary that he already earns.
This is pointed out by the FSA, who question how the Tottenham chairman can decide to pay himself a bonus while asking fans to cough up more for their tickets.
They wrote: ‘Spurs’ 6% price hike and reduction of senior concessions came as Daniel Levy paid himself a £3m bonus. Ker-ching!’
Spurs Web Opinion
While the FSA makes a fair point about fans being priced out due to increasing costs, it is ridiculous for them to suggest that matchday revenue does not make a difference to the bottom lines of these clubs.
It is worth remembering that Tottenham and many other clubs across the Premier League regularly post massive operating losses.
The criticism of Levy, who apart from being chairman, is also a co-owner, for paying himself a £3m bonus is frankly quite ridiculous.
Even with the bonus, his reported £6.6m earnings last year is less than what Son Heung-min, Cristian Romero and James Maddison earn (Sportac).
