How the cost of following Wolves has changed since 2018 | OneFootball

With Wolves relegated, the cost of following the club and everyday life has climbed sharply since promotion in 2018.

Over eight years spanning a pandemic, geopolitical shocks and Brexit fallout, prices have shifted across the board, ExpressAndStar.com notes.

In April 2018, petrol typically cost £1.20 to £1.25 per litre. Now drivers pay more than £1.50 on average, so trips to Molineux and away days cost more.

Football costs have surged. In 2018/19, adult season tickets were £429 in Billy Wright Lower, £549 in Billy Wright Upper, £474 in Steve Bull and £449 in North and South Banks.

For 2025/26, comparable prices are £780 in Billy Wright Lower, £939 in Billy Wright centre, £835 in Steve Bull and around £735 behind the goals. That equates to rises of £286 to £390 per season, roughly 64 to 82 per cent.

Concessions have jumped fastest. Over-65s and under-21s moved from £249 to £324 in 2018/19 to £524 to £704 for 2025/26, up by more than £275 to £380, about 110 to 137 per cent.

Junior tickets climbed from £69 in 2018/19 to £105, a 52 per cent rise. Matchday seats for big Premier League games can cost £50 to £70, and a day out can top £100, up from about £60 to £70 in 2018.

Interim chairman Nathan Shi has pledged to cut adult season tickets by an average of at least 25 per cent for 2026/27, with larger reductions in some concessionary categories.
