Manchester United defended an increase in season ticket prices for 2025/26 and was part of the continued efforts of the club to increase the income and reduce costs.
Season ticket prices for all supporters, with the exception of junior fans aged 16 and over, will increase by 5%, a number that corresponds to the arsenal and Liverpool competit associations.
The Advisory Board of the Club (FAB) was consulted before a decision and had “strongly supported” under the circumstances – as was the case with Tottenham Hotspur.
The communication of The Fab indicated that United had hoped to increase prices by more than 5%. The athlete It announced that the association initially implemented a much steeper increase of 20%.
The managing director Omar Berrada said: “We understand that every price increase is undesirable, especially in a time of the sub -performance on the field, and we have carefully listened to the strong arguments that were presented by the FAB in favor of freezing. However, the club decided that it would not be correct to keep the costs unchanged, while the costs are still faced with financial problems.
“We appreciate the loyal and patient support of our fans and in particular the owners of season tickets that represent the core of our match support base.
“We understand how important your support is for the team and have worked hard to find a price package that is fair and sensible. We have kept the increase to the lowest level and protected our recent season holder from an increase, while the club is financially strong enough to improve the team.”
In an explanation of the Manchester United support Trust (must), the ascent was heavily criticized, which describe the news in the context of everything else as “difficult to endure”.
“We acknowledge that Jim Ratcliffe has put money into the club while he also meets fans. Although he is right that the club is in terrible form on and next to the field, the idea is that United has to put his financial center in order.
“Our owners – and here we look at the Glaz carefully – sit down in this position and you should put your hands in your pockets to get us out.
“The idea that the fans should pay for the property of the Glazer, and in addition to the thousands that we already pay for the fact that we follow the team loyal, is honestly insulting.”
In order to increase income, United is said to have decided that areas that are located by the home and away benches should by converting to Premium -Gastwandskarbe. This means that existing season ticket holders are violently received new places there.
