New Irish League campaign on the horizon - but which club offers the cheapest adult season ticket?

Over 360,000 fans enjoyed the thrills and spills of live Premiership action last season and the countdown is already underway for the start of this year's campaign on August 5.

The Northern Ireland Football League in consultation with the twelve Premiership clubs agreed a £1 increase to the maximum price of single match tickets for the 2023/24 season.

This means adults can get into a fixture for £13 and £9 concessions, with the increase imposed in light of increasing running costs for clubs.

However, buying a season ticket remains the most cost effective way for fans to support their teams, as well as helping their clubs in the process.

Here is a recap of season ticket prices for all 12 clubs in this year's Sports Direct Premiership.
