[h=3]Spotlight on the Championship?[/h]The move could mean that in many cases it will be more expensive to watch an away match in the Championship than in the Premier League.
BBC Sport's 2015 Price of Football study found that 13 of 24 clubs in English football's second tier had a most expensive away ticket of £30 or over.
A Football League spokesman said: "The Football League has always determined that the issue of ticket pricing is a matter for individual clubs, particularly given that ticket revenue forms a far greater proportion of their turnover than it does for Premier League clubs.
"Overall, our clubs offer excellent value for money with the very best value being reserved for those supporters committing to a season ticket. Two-thirds of the 16 million admissions recorded by our clubs last season were season ticket holders and, as a result, the average ticket price paid per paying spectator was just £14.
"Nevertheless, today's decision will give our clubs something to consider given that they are in a competitive market for spectators and therefore must be able to offer value for money.
"The Football League Board will also keep its approach to ticket pricing under review and will discuss any relevant matters with member clubs at an appropriate time."
