Fans slam ‘parasites’ as Man United season ticket prices increase for the first time in 11 years

Manchester United fans are not happy after the club decided to increase season ticket prices for the first time in 11 years.

Following more than a decade of frozen ticket prices, United announced on Monday that the price for adult season tickets will increase by five per cent.

The club cited the escalating cost of matchday delivery as one of the main reasons for the change.

United also said: “We understand that our fans are also facing pressure from increased living costs and that is why we have kept price increases well below the current rate of inflation.”

On the back of the news, fans have been reacting angrily. With one fan calling the club ‘parasites’.

Another fan wrote: “Given increases in TV revenue, they should be reduced.”

A third fan added: “I don’t like this. New directors joining the club, changes to season ticket prices. This doesn’t scream like the glazers are selling.”

Someone joked: “Repairs to the roof and concourses have also been frozen for 11 years.”

Whilst a fifth sarcastically said: “Rightly so. The fabulous new improvements we're all enjoying at Old Trafford need to be paid for somehow.”

At the moment, the Glazer family are mulling over offers from interested parties as they look to bank top dollar in order to sell the club.

However, former United defender Gary Neville remains unsure whether the Glazers actually want to sell up.

He said: “There is a focus this isn’t one big charade that the Glazers are running for their brothers and sisters to exit and the couple that want to stay in to stay.

“The whole emphasis from fans is this has to be the end of the Glazer ownership. They’ve run out of money and not invested in the stadium.

Advert

“The fans want a new stadium — whether that’s Old Trafford refurbished or a new one built. The sporting project they’ve failed on in the last ten years.

“It’s doing quite well at the moment, third in the league, but it’s not where Man United want to be.”

Who will become the new owner of United? Only time will tell.
