Here's a selection to peruse from the FSA:

It was a (mostly) bad week for ticket prices as Aston Villa fans labelled their club “out of touch” for charging up to £97 a ticket for home Champions League matches this season.

A lot of car parks do and some have done since I had access to a badge for work over a decade ago. Every time the car park charges go up more blue badged cars appear on the single yellows near my house.

It isn't illegal and in the private parking context, many places do charge - the only stipulation in the law is that IF any fee is charged, it cannot be any higher than an able bodied person would pay.
