Camp Nou is the ultimate away day stadium for fans

Q1: „If you could choose any stadium in Europe (outside of the UK) for
your ultimate away day, which of the following would it be?”

SeatPick can reveal that Camp Nou, Barcelona, is the ultimate away day
stadium, with one in six fans selecting it as their top venue. The
current closure of Camp Nou for renovations, aimed at increasing the
capacity to 105,000 and featuring a retractable roof and a solar powered
360-degree LED display, has fans eagerly awaiting the 2025/26 season,
which is clearly depicted in the results.2

Burnley fans are the most enthusiastic about attending a game at Camp
Nou, with over a quarter (27.3%) of Burnley respondents expressing their
eagerness, followed by Liverpool FC, where 17.1% of fans are keen to
visit the newly renovated Camp Nou.

The Allianz Arena, home to Bayern Munich, is the second most popular
choice, with one in seven respondents selecting the stadium (13.4%). The
Allianz Arena ranks as the second most popular choice for the ultimate
away day, particularly among Luton fans (22.2%). With Tottenham legend
Harry Kane’s summer transfer to Bayern Munich, over one in six Tottenham
Hotspur fans now favour the Allianz Arena as their top away day choice.
Furthermore, despite Manchester United’s [2] recent Champions League
loss at the Allianz Arena fans are keen to head back, with the Allianz
Arena ranking as the top choice among Man United fans (16.9%).

Q2: „What team would you like to see for the ultimate Premier League
away day?”

Across all Premier League teams, almost one in 10 respondents would
choose Tottenham Hotspur as part of their ultimate away day experience
(9.6%). Arsenal is the second most popular choice, favoured by 8.2% of
respondents, closely followed by Manchester United (8%).

Fanbases with clear local rivals in the Premier League all picked their
rivals for their away day, except West Ham. Despite having local
rivalries with other London teams, one in eight West Ham fans in the
survey chose to see Manchester United on their away day (12.3%).

Q3: „How much would you be willing to budget for a single away day
ticket?”

The most common budget for an away day ticket among all football fans
was between £51 to £100. SeatPick can reveal that Burnley fans are
willing to splurge the most on their ultimate away day, with almost 1 in
6 respondents admitting they would pay over £300 – over triple the
average cost – for their away day ticket (13.6%). On the other hand,
Aston Villa fans are the most budget-conscious, with a fifth (20.2%) not
willing to spend more than £50 for an away day ticket, the highest
percentage among all fanbases.

International away days, such as the Champions League and Europa League
games, consistently generate higher interest due to happening less
frequently. If you find it challenging to secure tickets for your
favourite team’s matches, resale sites like SeatPick [3] are here to
assist you.

Q4: „How much would you be willing to budget for transport to and from
the venue, accommodation, meals and incidental expenses during the away
day?”

SeatPick can reveal that a third of fans (30.2%) would be willing to
spend between £101 to £200 for their ultimate away day experience,
which would include transportation, accommodation, meals and incidental
expenses. This was the most popular choice among fans of 16 of the 20
Premier league clubs. Bournemouth AFC and Luton Town fans were willing
to spend between £301 to £400 on expenses, while Sheffield United and
the Wolverhampton Wanderers were willing to spend between £201 to
£300.

Q5: „How far are you willing to travel for an away match?”

Aston Villa fans are the most adventurous, with almost one in four
agreeing that they would travel more than 500 miles (23.1%) for an away
day game. Overall, more than a quarter of respondents would be willing
to travel between 101 and 200 miles (26.3%). Surprisingly, the second
most popular distance to travel is between 201 and 500 miles, with
almost one in four (23.5%) respondents admitting they would be willing
to travel this far for their ultimate away day experience.
