Premier League bosses agree £30 cap on away ticket prices after Bruce Buck, Daniel Levy and Co flock to shareholders meeting at London hotel
- Chelsea’s Bruce Buck is leading the search for Richard Scudamore’s successor
- Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy attended the meeting in London on Thursday
- The three-hour meeting at hotel is expected to cover recent incidents of racism
Premier League bosses have agreed to carry on the £30 cap on away ticket prices for the next three seasons after they flocked to London on Thursday morning for the latest shareholders meeting.
The limited price for away supporters was implemented in the 2016-17 campaign and is now set to continue.
Other issues on the agenda at the meeting included Richard Scudamore’s successor and the introduction of VAR.

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, who is leading the search for a new chief executive as head of the nominations panel, arrived at a London hotel for the meeting.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, Arsenal chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano all walked in together.
The three-hour meeting was also expected to cover recent incidents of racism and a range of issues surrounding the use of VAR in the Premier League from next season, including whether replays should be played on the big screen.
West Ham’s joint-chairman David Gold (L) and Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish attended
Manchester United’s chief executive Ed Woodward, Brighton owner Tony Bloom, Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn, West Ham’s joint-chairman David Gold and Crystal Palace boss Steve Parish are also known to be in attendance.
Outgoing FA chief executive Martin Glenn was also at the meeting, but declined to comment on his way in.
It is thought that they will discuss candidates to take over the top job at the League, following the decision by Animal Planet’s Susanna Dinnage and BBC Studios boss Tim Davie to turn down the role.
Last week it emerged that Sir Gary Verity, who brought the Tour de France to Yorkshire, was in the running for the job, and it is therefore likely that Buck will be asked for updates by his counterparts at the other clubs.
