Man Utd warned ticket price increase will cause ‘enormous harm’

  • Manchester United has announced significant ticket price increases, described as a “kick in the teeth” for fans.
  • The price hikes come despite the club's record-breaking poor performance last season, finishing 15th in the Premier League with their lowest-ever points tally.
  • The new 'match categorisation model' will raise the cheapest ticket price by over 50 per cent, with cup match prices increasing from £32 to £52 and Premier League prices now ranging from £60 to £97.
  • The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) said that fans were not consulted on the plans and warned the move would cause “enormous harm” to the atmosphere at Old Trafford.
  • MUST believes the price increases will alienate loyal, regular supporters in favour of occasional visitors and risk pricing out younger fans, undermining the club's future.
