It’s about five per cent every year. Because five per cent every year means every 12 years or something like that, it means that the price is doubled because of the way compounding works, and that’s what it’s all about.” Why Premier League clubs could lose ‘huge amount’ on ticketsBorson insisted it’s costing the clubs who don’t increase their ticket prices for several years a “huge amount”.

“It’s five per cent one year, five per cent the next year because it’s five per cent on top of five per cent, and then it’s five per cent on top of five per cent on top of five per cent, so it’s all about compounding. It’s sort of becoming a bit of an industry standard right now the five per cent increase per annum.” In terms of the financial situation at St James’ Park, Deloitte’s 2026 Money League revealed Newcastle’s revenue increased from £312million in 2023-24 to £334m last season.
