Manchester United has raised the cost of tickets for members to £66 and removed concession prices for children, sparking a backlash from the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST).
Previously, tickets for adults were priced at £40, and children’s tickets were £25, but the new pricing has upset many fans.
This increase is part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plan to make the club financially stable, as Manchester United faces significant debt, totaling £714 million.
The money raised from the price hike is expected to be in the low millions of pounds, but fans have expressed concerns about the lack of consultation before the decision was made.
Fans Concerned About Future Price Hikes
The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust has raised concerns that this price increase could lead to even higher costs next season.
The fear is that once fans adjust to paying more, the club may never return to the old pricing levels.
The removal of concession prices for children has added to the anger, particularly among families who now face higher costs to attend matches.
With the club’s financial struggles and the uncertainty around future ticket prices, the relationship between Manchester United and its supporters could be strained in the coming months.
