English Bolton Wanderers froze ticket prices last season but will reduce its season-ticket prices approximately 10 percent for next season.
"We are sensitive to the economic demands on our supporters," said Sam Allardyce, club manager.
The move comes after champions English Chelsea froze season-ticket prices for next season and other English clubs such as Wigan and Blackburn Rovers introduced other plans.
"We are committed to rolling back the price of watching football at the Reebok Stadium next season," Allardyce told the club's website.
According to the BBC, the Football Supporters Federation warily received Bolton's decision.
"We will give Bolton only one and a half cheers because it is not very much in relation to the money they will get in, like other Premiership clubs," said Malcolm Clarke, FSF spokesman.
"They could let everyone in free and still have as much money as they have got today. Set against that background, it is still a welcome step by Bolton but the Premier League, as a whole, needs to do much more."
Bolton says lowering ticket prices after last year's freeze means there is a 15 percent reduction in the past two years.
The 10 percent discount is in addition to the early-purchase discount the club customarily offers.
