Manchester United’s new match categorising strategy has finally been rolled out - so how does the updated pricing regime compare to the club’s hospitality packages?
On Wednesday (June 18), it was revealed that a single ticket to a ‘Category A’ match at Old Trafford could cost fans up to £97.
This price increase comes amid the introduction of Man Utd’s new ticketing system which sees seat prices fluctuating depending on what ‘category’ the Premier League fixture falls into.

Category C games against Sunderland and Wolves will only cost football fans £37, whilst Category A games - including the Manchester derby and matches against Newcastle United and Tottenham - will see supporters forking out just shy of £100.
The club notes that the £97 price tag applied to less than 1 per cent of available matchday tickets.
Hospitality providers such as Seat Unique and P1 Travel are also selling VIP packages for the upcoming Premier League season - but how does the pricing compare to the club’s new ticket model?
