"We have a clear objective to return Manchester United to the top of domestic and European football. We want to keep investing in the team and improving our facilities so fans get the best possible experience. We also need to make sure the club stays financially sustainable taking into account inflation and rising costs.
It is within this context we have made the decision to increase Season Ticket prices by around 5 per cent across all areas of Old Trafford.
This equates to just over £2 per game on average for adult Season Ticket holders, and £1 per game for under 16s.
The lowest price for an adult general admission Season Ticket at Old Trafford will be £646 – working out at £34 per match across 19 Premier League home fixtures.
Season Ticket holders won’t pay more than 1/19th of their Season Ticket price for any home match in any UEFA or domestic cup competition. "

Not surprised by the price increase, £2 extra a game isn't that bad really. Euro away collections being reinstated though which is great news, might actually be able to get to one.
Wasn't aware of the South Stand thing. That's proper shit.Another 600 seats in South Stand going to hospitality - they have completely gutted that side of the ground now.
People happy with 5% which is why they do it, will be that minimum every year and average STs about £1k by 2030.
No mention of members pricing which is already a disgrace, no doubt all Champions League games should we qualify will be Cat A
Wasn't aware of the South Stand thing. That's proper shit.
Again, £2 increase isn't the end of the world but category pricing is the worst especially with like you say, Champions League matches will all inevitably be the highest price.
Yeah. That's a fair point.It's not a £2 increase in isolation though is it. STs are now up on average 21% since INEOS took charge of operations.

I could kinda see it at 1st as they hadn't gone up in near 10 years iirc whilst everything else had been increasing, but it's gonna 5% every year isn't it, my ticket was £703 4 years ago it's £855 now and soon be £1000 and I am in one of the areas where usual tickets prices were/are fairly low
Season Ticket holders won’t pay more than 1/19th of their Season Ticket price for any home match in any UEFA or domestic cup competition.
Cup tickets capped for season ticket holders.
That would be insane especially when they essentially already charge for members for the privilege of getting a spare off a ST holder.I'm surprised they aren't charging us for forwarding tickets to members (yet)
I'd heard a rumour via a mate who used to work in the ticket office said that had we qualified this season, league phase matches would have actually been lowest category price with each round then going up from C to A and beyond. We can't charge different prices for different matches in the same phase.That is a rare good bit of news.
Brace yourself members though...
Mine has gone over a grand with this increase. Used to be priced at what yours will cost you this season.£855 for me now I can see this tipping a grand before long
Its always been this way with UEFA competitions. Each knockout round in 2008, the further we got, the ticket price increasedI'd heard a rumour via a mate who used to work in the ticket office said that had we qualified this season, league phase matches would have actually been lowest category price with each round then going up from C to A and beyond. We can't charge different prices for different matches in the same phase.
Remains to be seen about other European competitions though that same mate said that if we'd qualified for the Conference League in 2024, they wanted to make reduce all prices by 25% for that competition.
Yeah but the difference now is that with category pricing is that they could, in theory, charge whatever they wanted for the league/group stage games. The suggestion was that they'd charge category C prices rather than category A or B.Its always been this way with UEFA competitions.

New matchday tickets at the new ground will cost £100 + and a day at the match will be a once a season treat.New stadium ticket prices are going to be insane, they’re raising it gradually now to make it more palatable.
That would be insane especially when they essentially already charge for members for the privilege of getting a spare off a ST holder.
One thing I'd wish they bring in though is some kind of limit on the forwarding of home matches to allow you eligiblity for applying for aways.
It never sits well with me that someone who forwards on 13/14 games on per season is viewed the same as someone when applying for aways as someone who actually turns up every game.
I won't be shocked if they charge Season Ticket holders more for Champions League games then the league rate.
Doesn’t it say European games will be the same as a 1/19th of the ticket price for PL games?Another above inflation rise. Throw in some expected cup games and it'll be a lot more next season. Wouldn't surprise me if Champions League games are more expensive too. Can imagine I'll just sell on more to keep costs down and watch on tv.
It says will cost no more than 1/19th of a ticket. I’m still unsure what this means in real monetary terms.Doesn’t it say European games will be the same as a 1/19th of the ticket price for PL games?
Doesn’t it just mean that the price of the cup games won’t be any more than the cost of a league game for ST holders?It says will cost no more than 1/19th of a ticket. I’m still unsure what this means in real monetary terms.
Ah right makes sense.Doesn’t it just mean that the price of the cup games won’t be any more than the cost of a league game for ST holders?
It’ll be more interesting what the club do with any STs that aren’t renewed. Berrada et al., before he left city, made the decision to not offer out any new STs so any non-renewals are just sold on an adhoc basis
Yeah. Not sure we’re in the same boat as city as people don’t tend to not renew.Ah right makes sense.
There’s plenty of people on the waiting list, I’m wondering if any will be offered to cup ticket holders from the previous season.
People should receive their renewal emails today.
