AFP – Manchester United announced plans to raise season ticket prices by five per cent for the 2025/26 season, defying calls from supporters groups for the cost to be frozen.
There will be no rise in the cost of tickets for under-16s, but the club are introducing a new game categorisation for non season-ticket holders, to allow for different pricing structures for higher-profile fixtures.
United fans have routinely protested at Old Trafford in recent months after the decision in November to scrap concessions to children and over-65s with all remaining tickets for this season priced at GBP66 (USD85).
A fan advisory board (FAB), which met with the club, had pushed for a freeze on ticket prices.
Season tickets at Old Trafford have also increased by five per cent in each of the past two seasons after an 11-year price freeze.
United chief executive Omar Berrada said in a statement: “We understand the importance of their backing for the team and have worked hard to come up with a pricing package that is fair and reasonable.”
