Club CEO Omar Berrada has insisted that the jump in prices is to "offset the continued rises in operating costs".
He said: "We appreciate the loyal and patient support of our fans, and particularly our Season-Ticket holders who represent the core of our match-going support base.
"We understand the importance of their backing for the team and have worked hard to come up with a pricing package that is fair and reasonable.
"After 11 consecutive years of price freezes, we increased prices by five per cent for the past two seasons and intend to do the same for next season to offset continued rises in operating costs."
Burnley have by far the cheapest season tickets in the Premier League at just £525.
This works out at £27.63 per Premier League match, compared to £162.31 per game at Fulham.

More competitions, longer seasons and other demands put focus on workload in elite women's soccer
England 's Millie Bright bowed out of the European Championship because of mental and physical exhaustion. The Netherland's Vivianne Miedema suggested too many games lead to more injuries. Ireland's Katie McCabe didn't play in a pair of games in the United States because she was said to be on the verge of burnout. New tournaments and expanded fields for existing competitions, longer seasons and more professional opportunities have some players and coaches asking: How much is too much? Workload has long been an issue in men's soccer, recently gaining more attention because of the expanded 32-team field at this year's Club World Cup. But it's a newer concern for some women as the game's profile rises on the global stage. More women's competitions, while providing more opportunities to play, also mean more travel and less time off. Alex Culvin, director of global policy for women's soccer at FIFPRO, the global players union, said there needs to be more care paid to international and regional calendars to ensure players have a balance while still growing the game. 'The growth is happening right before our eyes. However, those players also need to be protected because we can't always demand more of them all of the time without saying `We'll demand more now, and then you'll have a rest and that rest is protected. Nobody can encroach on that rest and if you do, there's consequences, regulatory consequences.' I think we haven't quite gotten there yet,' Culvin said. 'I think the mandated rest periods are something that FIFPRO really advocates for and something the players really want.' Those who play for high-profile national and club teams are most impacted. 'Mentally and physically I'm at my limits," Bright said on a podcast explaining her decision to sit out of Euro 2025 after her season with Chelsea. In April, after injuring her hamstring while playing in a Nations League match with the Netherlands, Miedema, who plays for Manchester City, criticized the ever-more crowded calendar on social media. 'I will say this over and over again. To the people in charge of the football calendar, it is time to realise the current schedule will need to change for players' physical and mental safety," Miedema wrote. McCabe, who plays for Arsenal, was left out of a pair of friendlies against the U.S. national team last month by Ireland coach Carla Ward. 'Katie has played an awful lot of minutes for club and country,' Ward said ahead of the trip. 'She's on the verge of burnout, as are some others.' FIFPRO has a dashboard that monitors high minutes for players around the globe. From June 1, 2024, to June 1, 2025, ahead of Euro 2025, Spain's Aitana Bonmatí (5,045) and teammate Mariona Caldentey (4,976) had the most minutes played of the 294 players monitored. Caldentey also plays for Arsenal in the Women's Super League in England, while Bonmatí, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, plays professionally for Barcelona. Spain will play in Euro 2025 title match on Saturday against England. U.S. women's national team coach Emma Hayes was so concerned about rest that she left her European-based players off the team for the latest international window so that they could recuperate from their seasons. Players in Europe play from fall to spring, whereas in the National Women's Soccer League, the season goes from early spring through the summer and into fall. Hayes has to manage her players with both of those seasons in mind. 'All I can control is that in 2027 there is a World Cup, and this player has this number of games, this is their season window, these are the national call-ups they might well receive, this is their offseason," Hayes said. "My job is to be educating the player with what you've achieved, what you've done the last last two years, and how that accumulative effect doesn't have an impact today, but might in two years.' National teams in Europe, Africa and South America have big regional competitions this summer — in addition to Euro 2025, there's the Africa Cup of Nations and the Copa América Feminina. But there are new events popping up as women's soccer becomes more popular. A new 7-on-7 tournament was played in Portugal that included eight professional clubs, with an attractive $5 million purse. The field for World Sevens Football included Manchester City and Bayern Munich. England coach Sarina Wiegman said the national team was in contact with players about taking part, making sure that overload wouldn't be an issue. 'Everyone has a different schedule and comes from different places. So, if you talk about Lauren (Hemp) and Alex (Greenwood), it's different, and other players who have played throughout the whole season,' Wiegman said. 'Also some players see it as an opportunity to, in a different way, get some training, playing minutes in — being aware of don't overload, be smart, because there's bigger picture in this.' Those tournaments are in addition to regional club competitions like the UEFA Women's Champions League and the new CONCACAF W Champions Cup, which starts next month. And there are more international women's competitions on the way. A women's Club World Cup will launch in 2028, while the Women's Champions Cup is set to start next year. While some more developed teams, leagues and federations are increasing opportunities, that's not the case in many parts of the world, where some players don't get enough work, putting them at the risk of injury. At the Copa América Femenina, Bolivia, ranked No. 105 in the world and playing with a squad that included amateurs, had only three matches together this year ahead of the tournament. Bolivia doesn't use all of its FIFA windows. In the end, Culvin said striking a balance is difficult. The growth of the game is important but it can't come at the expense of the players. 'It's the players who make the ultimate sacrifice, the game revolves around them. Without the players there is no game. And I think that mindset needs to be front of mind. And we need to say, `How do we protect these people as much as we can?'" Culvin said. "The stakeholders are custodians of the game, and we have a responsibility to protect our most prized assets and that's the players." ___

Lionesses hero Keira Walsh forgets rivalry and prays Euro rivals Spain ‘enjoy' final after World Cup ‘kissgate' scandal
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KEIRA WALSH is praying the Euro 2025 final is remembered for all the right reasons. England face Spain in Basel on Sunday in a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Keira Walsh is hoping the Euro 2025 final on Sunday is remembered for the right reasons Credit: Getty 7 The 2023 Women's World Cup final was overshadowed by Luis Rubiales' kiss on Jenni Hermoso La Roja were crowned world champions with a 1-0 win in Sydney but their historic milestone was overshadowed over THAT KISS by then Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales on striker Jenni Hermoso. That smacker, which Hermoso said 'tarnished' her country's triumph, was ruled as a sexual assault in February this year. But Walsh is hoping Spain can 'enjoy' the final this time around with no more controversy. The England midfielder said: 'There's a lot of respect between both the teams. 'The most important thing for them is that they can enjoy this final. There's no controversy surrounding it. 'The girls deserve to be there, they play incredible football. So first and foremost, for them as human beings, that they can go out there and actually enjoy this game. 'They probably could have had more support. After the game there was a lot of controversy and I don't think for them there was enough spotlight on how incredible they played and how incredible some of their players were, it was all about the other stuff that had gone on. 'As a professional, that was disappointing to see. I have a lot of friends in that team and I think they probably deserved a little bit more than what they got.' 7 Spain beat England 1-0 in the 2023 World Cup final Credit: Getty 7 Walsh has insisted she is not dwelling on the defeat Credit: Getty CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Walsh also insisted that she is not dwelling on the World Cup final defeat ahead of the rematch. She said: 'It was a massive disappointment. 'From a collective we probably feel like we didn't have our best performance that day. England star Chloe Kelly speaks about her crucial Euros penalty against Italy 'But as a football player you can become too emotional. 'This is a new game, new team, we know what we bring in this tournament so we're going to keep doing that and focus on the positives, not try to draw on that too much.' The Lionesses have gone to extra-time in both their knockout matches — but have led for just ONE minute. They came from 2-0 down to beat Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals before scoring a dramatic 119th-minute winner to book their final spot. Walsh believes their impressive resilience is 'just a part of being English'. She said: 'That's what we feel when we put the shirt on. It's that we give everything, we run ourselves into the ground. 'The beauty of this squad is that we know if we have to come off because we're tired, there's going to be someone else who can come on and finish the job. 'It's what we just speak about as a team, that English resilience and it's something that we really pride ourselves on. 'You can see from the last two games that it's something we really believe in.' Chloe Kelly's last-gasp strike against Italy on Tuesday to secure the extra-time victory was the latest goal ever recorded at a women's Euros. Walsh said: 'For us, you create those moments for yourself through belief, confidence, determination.' That never-say-die spirit was also shown in Michelle Agyemang's 96th-minute leveller that forced extra-time. Walsh added: 'I've heard people have been saying that it was luck. It's not by luck Michelle is in the box and scoring. 'It's not by luck that people are putting crosses into the box — it's thought out, it's purposeful. 'It's the absolute belief that no matter what minute it is, we're going to win it or we're going to get a result to take us to extra-time. That's the resilience of this team.' 7 England left it late to book their spot in the Euros final Credit: Getty 7 Teenager Michelle Agyemang scored deep into injury time to force extra time Credit: AP

Keira Walsh: Confidence is key to beating my Barcelona friends
England's hopes of a second consecutive European Championship title may rest on Keira Walsh. The holding midfielder often goes under the radar. She does not play a glamorous position, has an unassuming personality and her game is predicated on doing the unspectacular perfectly rather than highlights. That Walsh's first England goal came in her 83rd cap last April is fitting. For Sunday's Euro 2025 final against Spain in Basel, England need Walsh to be at her understated best. Their opponents are supreme in midfield, freakishly intelligent, and proven winners at the highest level. Walsh possesses these qualities too. Perhaps most importantly, she knows a secret or two. Walsh spent 2½ years at Barcelona — signing for a world-record fee at the time ($400,000) before joining Chelsea for £440,000 last January — so she is familiar with many of Spain's players. 'I've been asked several times in the last few years about them,' she said. 'They are incredible footballers.' Walsh, 28, is particularly aware of Spain's biggest strength: their midfield. Aitana Bonmatí, winner of the past two Ballons d'Or, scored the winner against Germany in the semi-finals by smartly feinting to create space before firing home from a tight angle. 'The way she let the ball go through, most players in that position wouldn't even think about shooting and automatically cross,' Walsh said of her former Barcelona team-mate. 'But I've played with Aitana a lot and know that she's always thinking about things that other players don't. She will have looked where the 'keeper was and tried to place it. It was a fantastic goal.' Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. Bonmatí is not Spain's only generationally talented midfielder. Alexia Putellas, another Barcelona superstar, won the two Ballons d'Or before Bonmati's double. Patri Guijarro occupies Walsh's deeper position and is the hipster's choice for Barcelona's best midfielder. Mariona Caldentey, with whom Walsh also played at Barcelona, has since moved to Arsenal and was the Women's Super League player of the season for 2024-25. 'The Spanish are one of the best possession teams in the world,' Walsh said. 'Aitana's an incredible player, but if you try to nullify her, Patri's been one of the best players at this tournament. So you can focus on Aitana, then you've got Patri, Alexia and Mariona.' England can expect long periods chasing the game on Sunday, so how can they cope? 'It's about being patient when we don't have the ball, not panicking and not getting frustrated,' Walsh said. 'We just have to be comfortable defending.' They will also have to channel the 'proper England' mantra that has underpinned their tournament. Grit, resilience and total commitment will be required against a technically immaculate team. 'The English mentality has been going through all our games and that's not going to change in the final,' Walsh said. 'If anything, we're going to be more proud to be representing our country.' Yet Walsh believes England cannot simply defend gallantly. Spain outclassed them in the 2023 World Cup final, in which England were seldom able to gain a foothold, despite the narrow 1-0 scoreline. The Lionesses were then overwhelmed by Spain in a 2-1 defeat in Barcelona last month. 'One thing I would take from the previous games against Spain is we've not been as confident as we could be on the ball,' Walsh said. 'That's also one of our strengths. We've got unbelievable players on the ball. We need to take more pride in that and keep the ball for longer periods.' Walsh has had a solid tournament. She has started every game, was player of the match against Wales and scored her second England goal against France. Off the pitch, she has decompressed with the help of Jill Scott, the former England midfielder and a fellow Euro 2022 winner. Scott has no official title but is a crucial morale-booster, with her and Walsh going out for dinner and talking about anything except football. The midfielder is also happy to be back living in England, having struggled to acclimatise in Barcelona. Nevertheless, she remains close to her old team-mates and is pleased to see them enjoying the tournament after their 2023 World Cup campaign was plagued by internal tensions and the controversy around Luis Rubiales's non-consensual kiss of Jenni Hermoso, which led to the resignation of the Spanish football federation's president. 'As a friend, fellow footballer and human being, I just want them to enjoy the game,' Walsh said. The bond with Sunday's opponents was forged during Walsh's struggles in Barcelona. She will always be grateful for their kindness, but that will not stop her competing furiously, relaying insider information and taking on that formidable midfield. 'I was used to living 20 minutes away from my family and always lived in Manchester, so at times it was difficult,' Walsh said of her days in Catalonia. 'But that's why I've got so many good friends on the Spanish team, because they always looked after me. 'Irene Paredes always invited me around for dinner with her family. When I wasn't feeling great, I was with Mariona. Those girls really spent time taking care of me. 'I've got a lot to say thanks for, but on Sunday we're rivals and I want to win.'
