Man United Raise Season Ticket Prices Again, Ignoring Fan Protests

Manchester United have confirmed a five percent increase in season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season, ignoring appeals from supporters groups to freeze costs. While ticket prices for under-16s will remain unchanged, the club is introducing a new game categorisation system for non-season ticket holders, allowing them to adjust pricing for high-profile matches.

United fans have repeatedly protested at Old Trafford in recent months, particularly following the club's decision last November to scrap concession prices for children and over-65s, leaving all remaining match tickets priced at 66 85.

A Fan Advisory Board FAB, which engaged with the club on the matter, had pushed for a price freeze, but United opted to proceed with the increase. Season ticket prices at Old Trafford have already risen by five percent in each of the last two seasons, following an 11-year freeze.

United's chief executive, Omar Berrada, defended the decision, stating: We listened carefully to the strong arguments put forward by the FAB in favour of a freeze. However, the club has decided that it would not be right to keep prices unchanged while costs rise and the club continues to face financial issues, added Berrada.

We have kept the increase to the lowest possible level and protected our youngest season-ticket holders from any rises, while ensuring the club remains financially strong enough to invest in improving the team.
