5% average rise - Ratcliffe had already prepared us for another rise so I guess it could have been worse but this comes on the back of rises last 2 years

U16 prices are frozen so that's good after the £66 fiasco

OAP discount cut from 50% to 25% so a big feck you to our oldest fans



 
Was expecting worse - still not great though.

Gutted for the fans who are going to be moved from seats next to the dugout
 
The big news is on members ticket pricing.
Categories brought in.

Memberships now terrible value. And a huge discrepancy between picking up a forwarded ticket from a ST holder v buying a single ticket off Utd.
 
The interesting part is the dynamic pricing for the bigger games for members,

Madness if it's now £70 for city at home if I buy it from Utd. But £43 if I buy it off a ST holder.
 
How does United's ticket prices compare to the other EPL teams?
 
Need to attend 16/19 games as well, it won’t long before it’s one strike and your out.
 
We knew that they'd go up. Ratcliffe stated that much in his interview. He made it sound as if the plan was to protect "loyal" fans (Season ticket holders), whilst charging daytrippers more.
 
Sucks for the match going fans. I have spend 0 on the team since Ferguson stepped down and will continue to spend 0 on this nonsense.

ST price wise fine.

It's the members prices that have jumped hugely now over the last five years - and they aren't even telling us what category A games will cost.

It's £51 and up now, so can only imagine what City at home etc will be next year.
 
Bit of a pisstake really considering how shit of a matchday experience it is. Get there early and instead of having the earlier kickoff on the concourse tvs, they'll have MUTV on with the speakers on low volume so you can all stand there and watch Wes Brown talk into a microphone without knowing what he's saying. Overpriced bottles of carling is the only beer they offer iirc.

Go out to your seats to watch the players warm up and they'll have some awful grime music playing loudly on the stadium speakers, which is paused every few minutes whilst the stadium announcer reads out birthday requests like he's reading off a shopping list. If the weather is bad then there's a chance the leaking roof will drench your seat and give you a wet arse.

Unless of course you have any interest in buying their expensive merchandise in the megastore (I haven't been inside there since I was a child).

If that was a pub experience then you'd give it a 1 star review.

I always try to time it right so I can get there 10-15 minutes before kickoff but traffic can be difficult to predict. Sometimes I'm there over an hour before kickoff and bored out of my mind scrolling through my phone.

However, according to Ratcliffe, our season ticket prices shouldn't be cheaper than Fulham's.
 
It's absolutely shameful to do this to fans at the time of a cost of living crisis, on the back of an absolutely embarrassing season where we'll probably finish eleventh at best.
 
It's an absolute disgrace. The annoying thing is could have been so much worse.

The whole thing is fecked now. CBA

There's always a cost of living crisis.

You can't think 5% is shameful.

Ignoring the bizarre first sentence...

5% this year, 5% confirmed next. This is on the back of a previous rise.

Members prices are up anywhere from 25-50% on three years ago next season.
 
They own their own houses that they bought for £5. Think of the young people living at home they can’t afford mortgages
£5 how far back are you going? My grandad bought his for £2500 in the 60’s.
My son lives at home rent free, he’d be off to every game if we still lived in the UK :lol:
 
So wage bill massively reduced, performance levels have followed suit. But need to hike up prices as they majority shareholders are complete cnuts. Fans have to pay for the club to service their debt and mismanagement.

After an 11 year freeze.

Season ticket prices aren't the thing to batter the club with.

What were you expecting? Season ticket prices to be frozen for a couple of decades?

I'm more concerned with the changes to members prices on this specific announcement as I've explained up the thread
 
My quick maths is saying they’re going to earn no more than £2M from this increase (£50x40K STH), they really could have timed this better.

It's the hospitality and membership pricing where the cash injection is here. Not the ST increase.
 
We should aim to be affordable to local regular attending fans. The whole thing loses a lot of its charm without them.

This is bad and they shouldn't have done it.

Explain that a bit more for me please mate.
 
So people behind the dugout are being removed for hospitality, and if you want to return your ticket there can be a £10 charge for it. Car parking up 15%
