Manchester United Raises Season Ticket Prices for Third Consecutive Year

The club cites financial challenges and rising costs, but fans and supporter groups criticize the move as unfair.

  • Season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season will increase by 5%, marking the third straight year of price hikes after an 11-year freeze.
  • Tickets for under-16s will remain frozen, while senior discounts have been reduced to 25% and tied to the state pension age of 66.
  • New revenue measures include game categorisation for higher-profile matches, a £10 resale fee within 14 days of games, and converting seats near the dugouts into hospitality seating.
  • Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) and other fan groups have pushed for a price freeze, citing examples from clubs like Liverpool, which have frozen ticket prices.
  • Club executives, including Omar Berrada and co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, defended the increases as necessary to address £410 million in cumulative losses and to maintain financial stability.
