New research shows that the cost of a pint at the Select Car Leasing Stadium could be above £10 by 2030.

Football shirt seller UKSoccerShop calculated how much a pint could cost by 2030 at UK stadiums, based on the average inflation rate of alcoholic drinks over 12 months from December 2023.

The research revealed that a pint of draught at Madejski Stadium could double from £5 to £10.41, increasing by around 68p a year.

The club’s prices are expected to be above average compared to stadiums outside London.

The Premier League’s most expensive pint, at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium and West Ham’s London Stadium, is predicted to reach an eye-watering £13.12 by 2030.

The beer price increase was calculated from 2022 prices using the latest ONS inflation figures for alcohol over 12 months from December 2023.

This percentage increase was then added to the existing price of beer year on year to estimate the cost at each stadium by 2030.

Its research said that a pint was £5 in 2022, and it had calculated it would be £6.01 this year, and £6.58 next year.

A spokesperson from UKSoccerShop said: “Drinkflation is on the rise, and UK households are feeling the squeeze on the cost of living.”
