Manchester United’s Season Ticket Price Hike Sparks Outrage Among Senior Fans
Manchester United has announced a significant increase in season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season, a move that has sparked widespread criticism, especially among the club's senior fanbase. The decision, spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has seen prices rise by an average of 5%, with senior citizens facing even steeper increases. This has led to accusations of the club exploiting its most loyal supporters, with some calling the hike a 'disgrace'.
The backlash has been swift, with fans and media outlets alike decrying the move as a betrayal of the club's heritage and its commitment to fans. The Manchester United Supporters' Trust has expressed deep concern over the decision, pointing out that the increase places an undue burden on pensioners who have supported the team for decades. Critics argue that the club, under Ratcliffe's influence, is prioritizing profits over people.
In response to the uproar, Manchester United issued a statement defending the price increase, citing rising operational costs and the need to remain competitive. However, this has done little to quell the anger among fans, who feel that the club should be doing more to support its community, especially in tough economic times.
