English Soccer Hospitality Packages:
What Do They Cost?
Since getting regular tickets to Premier League games is so hard, people wind up in the market for hospitality packages. But what does hospitality in English soccer cost?
There are many options, many sellers, and no easy answer to the seemingly simple question:
What do English soccer hospitality packages cost?
Allow us to take a shot at explaining this. Prices below were updated for the 2024-25 season. Check the bottom of this page to request a current quote.
First, a “hospitality package” is really just a seat plus some combination of benefits: food, drink, lounge access, stadium tour, and so on. There are many of them, including more than one at just about every Premier League club, and the prices — just like those of regular tickets — vary wildly. They do trend up and down with the opposition, though.
Also, many sellers attach hotel rooms to the packages they offer, but we don’t.
Let’s take, as an example, the Canoville Suite at Chelsea FC, one of our favorite hospitality packages we sell. You get a pregame buffet (that’s the dessert table at the top of this post), access to a lounge during and after the game (including free coffee and tea), and seats in the middle tier of the east stand, around the top of the penalty area, very close to the away fans.
Here is a view from those seats:
What does that package cost? Ballpark estimates of $525 if they’re playing Ipswich Town and $975 if they’re playing Man United.
We have both cheaper and pricier options at Chelsea, ranging from basically regular seats to white-tablecloth seated meals.
Let’s take another one, the package we sell for Arsenal home games.
The basic Arsenal hospitality package is called the Cannon Club; it’s a club-level seat behind the goal, just above the away fans, with lounge access, a food voucher, free drinks at halftime, a club store discount coupon, and a voucher for a stadium tour on a different day.
The cost? Around $650 if they’re playing Southampton, more like $1,300 if they’re playing Man City or Tottenham. And we have other packages, including a private suite, that will cost more across the board.
Now for Manchester United, one of the most-requested clubs in our world. (Honestly, though, go to Leeds or Sheffield United instead!)
Depending on the game, we have up to five packages for Man U, so let’s take the lowest priced, the highest, and the most popular.
The lowest is a seat in the upper corner with a food and drink voucher for the concourse: that’s $250 to see them play Nottingham Forest and $500 to see Liverpool.
The most popular Manchester United Hospitality option is a seat in the lower tier of the stadium on the longside, with access to the Victoria Warehouse, where you can get all inclusive food and drinks. Forest and Liverpool prices: $475 and $900.
It’s Not All About the Biggest Premier League Clubs
Of course, there are other less expensive options than these three big clubs. At West Ham, something like $300 to $450 usually gets you a padded seat on the halfway line with a great lounge. But for $450 to $750 you can get better seats and a better lounge. (We also sell regular tickets at West Ham and some other clubs, so long as you’re not British). At Crystal Palace, $300 typically gets you outside a suite in the end near the away fans, really close to the pitch.
And then there are lower-league clubs where you can also get a package, in many cases from us. Often we sell regular tickets — again, not to Brits — to places like Queens Park Rangers, Millwall and Watford for $75 to $125.
So, what do hospitality packages cost? Like so many things in life, it depends!
