The Price of Our Sport

5 Live Sport

Available for 14 days

Katie Smith is joined by 麻豆社 Business Correspondent Sean Farrington to examine the rising cost of sport for fans. As ticket prices for some of the biggest events on the sporting calendar continue to rise, they explore the impact on supporters, where the money goes and why attending live sport remains so important to many fans. They also look at the cost of following sport from home. With sports rights spread across more platforms than ever before, why are fans paying more to watch? Will costs ever come down, or can supporters expect further rises as models such as dynamic pricing become increasingly common in British sport?
