Man Utd news: Fans express ‘major concern’ at ticket changes

Manchester United Supporters Trust has expressed disappointment that the club have announced a 5% average season ticket price increase and “major concern” at the new match categorisation model for non-season ticket holders.

United have announced a number of changes in their ticketing policy for the 2025-26 season, including:

A statement from the Manchester United Supporters Trust read: “For several months we have argued long and hard that the club need to look at the big picture and freeze ticket prices for next season. Other clubs have done that already and at United it would have sent a powerful message about the need for everyone to pull together to get the club out of the very difficult position it finds itself in.

“We do note that the scale of the headline increase is less than many feared and we believe the enormous amounts of dialogue that fans groups have had with the club, alongside the public pressure exerted through the media and various protests, helped restrain the increase.

“However the new match categorisation model for non-season ticket holders is a source of major concern with fans facing additional price increases for higher-demand games.”
