All ticket/travel information thread - 2024/25 edition - Ticket Purchasing FAQ in OP. Please read it and be careful purchasing tickets

Just seen the latest memo from United in relation to the ticket releases for future league games.
All concession tickets have reached the maximum so all tickets will be £66 each irrespective of where they are situated and age group
 
£66? What the feck are they on about? Tickets on website right now for Everton and Forest for less than that.
 
It was on the ticketing site earlier under where it says buy now, copied and pasted on my previous post. There was a few singles for Everton, forest, Bournemouth and lowest was £66. Seems to have changed now though
 
Single ticket available for the Bodo game. Stretford End Lower. Below FV. DM if interested.
 
All tickets now £66 for the rest of the season no matter where, or category.

So a kids ticket is now £66 :lol:

Absolute disgrace.
 
So is this like the Gallagher style ticket increase supply and demand thing?

Absolutely disgusting.

Dynamic pricing!

And they accuse us of touting? Even the Glazers weren't this bad when it came to ticketing.

I mean technically the Glazers still sit behind the ticketing no?

But yeah INEOS are going to be a nightmare with this stuff, already clear.
 
Right. So from what I can make of this rubbish decision from the club is:

If you buy a ticket during one of their “shambolic” ticket release dump days - you can still buy concession tickets.

If you don’t manage to get a ticket via the ticket dump (likely for most) then the tickets that become available leading up to the games are £66 flat rate - no matter what?

If it’s the end of concessions completely then forget it, might aswell throw my membership away. No way I’m paying £132 plus refreshments in the stadium plus travel from Birmingham (I know - my own choice) but that’s just silly.
 
Statement from MUST

Club put up remaining Members match tickets to £66 per game for remainder of season

Tonight the club informed the Fans Forum of changes to certain ticket policies that will take effect immediately. The Club has indicated that it will post the details of these changes online but the headline is that, with immediate effect, all Members tickets for the remainder of this season will increase to £66 each, and that this price will apply for kids and over-65s as well as adults.

This means that for an adult member to take their kid to a game in the remainder of this season will cost £132. Well over double the minimum price they could pay to do it today. And this change is happening overnight, immediately.

The Club claims that 97% of this season's tickets are already sold, so that this will only affect a small number of people, but we believe this stat is misleading, as we will explain below.

The Club has provided zero consultation on the matter, neither with the Forum nor the Fan Advisory Board nor MUST. We were simply informed of the decision that there will be price rises affecting certain fans that are “urgently needed” to address profitability and sustainability concerns.

Suffice it to say, that the idea that the fans must pay their “fair share” for the Club’s excesses and/or mismanagement—and above all, the Glazers lack of investment over two decades—is offensive.

We fans have done everything we have been asked. We have cheered the players on even in the face of substandard performance. We have gone to matches and abided by the new usage rules for tickets. We have taken on a price increase this year. This is in addition to the hundreds, even thousands loyal fans pay to follow United home and away.

There is a risk that this is only the opening salvo of what will surely be massive pressure to implement a significant price rise for next season. Once they have got used to charging £132 for a parent and child to come to OT, will they really go back to the old pricing levels for next season?

We are absolutely in favour of running a sustainable business, but football clubs are hardly ordinary consumer businesses. Ours is clearly in “rebuilding mode.” Moreover, it is not like we have options to take our custom elsewhere: we are not going to “choose another provider” like one might pick a telecoms company.

If the club has a need for short term capital they should issue new shares, as they did when INEOS first arrived, and bring in funding from existing or new shareholders.

We have objected to this action in the strongest possible terms, both for the action itself and the complete lack of consultation, which is a step backward based on the process we had agreed with the Club before INEOS’ arrival.

Over the coming days MUST will be seeking urgent discussions with the Club to get them to listen to fans' concern at this policy. United fans have sucked up a lot. We will not be silent on this and we need to be prepared to resist any attempts to further drive up ticket prices.

Many thanks for your continued support

Good statement - we need a united front on this one. INEOS are going to try and take the piss.
 
Limits on forwarding and huge price hikes for ST holders are nailed on.

The end is near :(.
 
So hold on, the club only 2 days ago stated that most of the games from January onwards there would be further ticket releases….. but now all of a sudden they are saying 97% of tickets for the remaining games are sold?

So they were basically going to do ticket releases, and put supporters through ridiculous queue’s for 3% of tickets?

Something doesn’t quite add up here.

The likes of Southampton at home if we are 9th in the table in March are not going to sell at £66. They will magically appear at normal rates.

This is our first taste of a shit version of dynamic pricing.
 
INEOS…

All they needed to do was sort out our football structure. Not turn us into a money hungry corporation.
 
What a dirty move from them. Up there with Villa’s CL prices.

Glad there’s a space here for getting hold of some FV tickets when people can’t make it!
 
It would of course be a disgrace if we were on course to win the Treble, but it feels especially disgusting to hike the prices up like that when we're in a period of quite probably the worst sustained series of performances and results in about 40 years.

£66 a ticket is just obscene. Football is on it's arse, it's completely unsustainable.
 
Stupid fecking cnuts.

They are targeting the wrong people here and they know it.
 
I’m starting to think that Ratcliffe isn’t in this because he’s such a big fan after all.
 
Listen I was a season ticket holder for a very long period and decided to give it up a good few years back, I had a break from attending games as I fell out of love with going to the games but this season I weirdly felt I needed to attend again. Therefore I purchased a membership and have been to all but one home game this season. I've always managed to get a ticket either from fans I know who can't attend to on the app through constantly checking.

I was actually talking about it in the office yesterday how I found the membership far better as I could pick a choose when I wanted to go to suit my busy life.

The club have completely destroyed it now, yes we can get tickets through fans we know or on here but I won't be paying £66 to attend games. Especially in some of the seated areas you should be paying a cheaper price. It's good value in the £30 seats at either end of the stadium, the view isn't as good as being in the North or South stand or even the quadrants so how they can justify £66 for these areas is a disgrace.

More evidence of the dynamic pricing system we've been seeing for music events. It's a total piss take of the membership fans.

I'm afraid this could be the end of me attending games again, I feel totally let down by the club and the new ownership group, it's greed and unnecessary as the reality is you could be talking a few thousand tickets for each game getting exchanged so the financial benefit would be minimal to a club of our size.

Talk about a kick in the balls and a sad reality of what lies ahead.
 
After 2 for Newcastle. Can swap for 2 Bournemouth if that works.
 
In light of the price hikes on tickets, of which I am sure there will be no u-turn, I think now would be the perfect time for a fan-to-fan ticket exchange.

This ticket thread is great and hats off to everyone that lists their spares but I’m sure some people find it much easier to resell to the club, a 3rd party system that requires membership for forwarding could mitigate the process.

I think I remember once saying that the club itself is turning into the biggest tout there is. This is quite shameful really. Not even a kids concession!

Why are the Glazers seemingly taking none of the blame here?? They are still the majority shareholder and will be in support of any such idea or have come up with the idea themselves.

Have I missed something or is this just the ‘new toy’ syndrome where the newest people get the blame for everything.
 
Had a Wolves then got cancelled minute later. No idea why that would happen.
 
*Very last minute*

Two for Bodoe/Glimt tonight in J Stand.
Send me a DM if you want them and can make it in. Must have two memberships.
