Most teams that have visited South Wales and the Cardiff City Stadium this season have struggled so far, with Cardiff City starting the campaign extremely well compared to the last.

The Bluebirds have won four of their opening five fixtures on their own turf, with a loss in their first home fixture against QPR their only defeat in that period.

They have won league games against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Coventry City, Rotherham United, and perhaps the pick of the punch being a 2-0 victory over their rivals.

Losses to high-flying Ipswich Town and Leicester City have come on the road, but so far they have performed far better than last season, where they languished towards the bottom of the second tier for much of the campaign.

The Bluebirds have spent the last two Championship campaigns dangerously close to the relegation zone, having also burned through four permanent managers within that time as well. Erol Bulut is taking his first role in the EFL, having most recently been manager of Turkish side Gaziantep FK. He has also taken charge of Turkish giants Fenerbahce in his managerial career as well.

He has been well backed with signings this summer, with the star addition the former Arsenal player, Aaron Ramsey. He has returned to South Wales on a two-year contract. The 32-year-old last played for Cardiff in 2011 during a short loan stint, but left the Welsh capital permanently for the Gunners back in 2008.

We're focusing less on results and signings and more on money in this piece though, as we look at the price of an away ticket at Cardiff and how it compares to the away ticket prices of other teams in the division.

Please note that some ticket prices differ depending on the visiting team. These prices do not include all games, but a selection of fixtures Cardiff have played in so far.
