Premier League Fans Protest Rising Ticket Prices Across Clubs

Supporters from Manchester and Liverpool unite in demonstrations against steep ticket hikes, targeting owners and calling for fair pricing.

  • Manchester United fans protested at Old Trafford against midseason ticket price increases, with chants directed at co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazer family.
  • The Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) launched the #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign, uniting fans from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Everton in coordinated protests.
  • Manchester United's ticket prices rose to £66 per game, with concessions for children and seniors eliminated, marking increases of up to 164% for some tickets.
  • The protests highlight broader concerns about Premier League clubs prioritizing revenue over affordability, despite a 17% increase in the league's broadcast rights deal to £12.25 billion.
  • Fans warn that rising costs risk eroding the game's accessibility and atmosphere, as clubs increasingly cater to wealthier spectators and tourists over loyal local supporters.
