I think the key is that Sevilla have announced subsidies for ST holders on top of that 89
Club's reply to Sevilla's high ticket prices

Wasn't that for their away going fans? Them saying they won't let them pay more than our home fans?
From reddit someone mentioned this
"apparently they got around it (equal pricing rule) by pricing the tickets next to the away section at 89 quid as well but it just so happens that the sevilla season ticket holders have access to those seats under their 'total' plan which means they dont foot the extortionate price."
I'm not sure I catch on here. CL isn't covered in a normal season ticket, no?
I am also not completely sure, but what I understood is that the tickets are priced at 89 quid, but if you are an ST holder on some special plan, you get those tickets for less.
got ya
A quick scan suggests the answer is yes.
I'd say undercover massive.
Where is the guy who thought this wasnt classy like in the old days? If standing up for your fans isn't classy then what is? Some people
Top notch move from Utd, well in.

Great move by the club i say. This is the sort of empathy you’d expect from a big club who has, because of its unwavering supporters, reached the heights of global recognition it enjoys in this day and age despite the tumescent post-SAF years.
Brilliant statement this. Will put off clubs off doing it in the future.
Lovely move by the club.
Great move. Especially as the UEFA does not do anything against that.
And fine the clubs if the fans are protesting like they did with the Bayern fans against Anderlecht. (Bayern subsided the away tickets then, too, but did not add it to the costs for the Anderlecht fans)
That banner and throwing false money on the pitch cost the club 20000 EUR...

MUST statement on the matter, seems to sum up things pretty well: http://action.joinmust.org/page/content/sevilla-away-ticket-prices/
This is what it is. People getting all proud about their clubs. Another way for executives to feck us all over.
What is this triumphant business? Do you think United wanted to do this?? They gain nothing. It's purely a measure to prevent the club's fans being ripped off again. Your attitude is extremely confusing. Do you think United should have to pay for these mark ups indefinitely? Clubs will keep ripping us off if we just pay the subsidy without enforcing the same
In a nutshell. This measure is the only way what with the current regulations that we’re going to be able to stop other clubs ripping us off.
A price cap similar to what’s been introduced in the premier league would solve a lot. Doesn’t make sense why it wouldn’t exist. UEFA, as ironic as this sounds, can’t let clubs get away with extortion.
Wow, I’m impressed.
Well done United

Sevilla announced they will subsidize the price increase.
right after we made them look like a prick, really great decision by the club
they refuse our negotiation , so we just force their fans doing it for us. this is signal across the world to never mess with united again off the field
He probably thinks United fans or the club should have just paid Sevilla and shut up.
This post confirms to me that you are a pathetic wum. I had my suspicions before. Glad you've been banned.
actually - x - = +
must be surprising to see a football club actually standing behind their fans, United just don't want their travelling fans being ripped off , which is noble thing from club to do , who cares about sevilla fans, they should take care their own fans just like us
I'm a little bit baffled by the amount of praise for our club doing the obvious thing but, yeah, it certainly looks the right call.
Did anyone say this is the best ever job done by any club? It's a good job and rightly called as good one by many posters here.
No. But, I put the bins out earlier. It was the right call. I don't expect my housemates to go on about it.
I understand the reasoning behind it, but say hypothetically Utd took 5000 fans, but Seville only brought 3000 here, will the club still subsidise the other 2000?
Are you Balotelli?Yeah. Sevilla will end up bringing more though because of OTs capacity it's why the club has stated they will donate the extra profit
Just a grumpy sod, I think.
To be honest, I was more hoping someone might explain why other teams haven't done this before. Why we haven't done this before. I feel I must be missing something.
With Sevilla's stadium capacity of ~42K, assuming standard 5% allocation, less United fans will be inside Sevilla stadium officially (around 2100), than Sevilla supporters inside OT, 2995. So, United should have some money left from overcharging Sevilla fans, after subsidising United fans, which they will donate to MU foundation.
Did you wheely put the bins out? Your a hero, you should get free tickets!
Thanks.
Thanks
You didn't really put the bins out did you?
Your as corrupt as Sevilla!
I gave it serious consideration.
{Hazard] You could have if you wanted to [/Hazard]
Re why club didn't do it earlier, maybe I'm wrong but the price difference wasn't so big earlier? Or finally club thought enough is enough?
Will be interesting if club do the same thing for domestic cup games too when we play smaller teams.
which means we ended up ripping sevilla off. they will have to subsidize more fans than us. we subsidize 35 x 2100 while they 2995 x 35, they should learn their lesson now to never mess with us
Then they should have fecking decreased the prices for our away fans in the first place. Like you said, they will have learned their lesson.
Nope.
