Man Utd Reveal 2025/26 Ticket Prices Sparking Fan Outrage: "A Disgrace to the Club"
Manchester United have officially announced their ticket prices for the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League season, and the response from supporters has been nothing short of explosive. With season ticket costs rising and matchday prices hitting new highs, fans have accused the club of "ripping the soul out of Old Trafford" in a scathing backlash.
The new ticket prices, revealed on Tuesday, see an average 7% increase across all seating categories, with standard adult season tickets now starting at £895, up from £835 last season. Some premium seats have shot past the £1,200 mark, while individual matchday tickets for Category A fixtures — including clashes with rivals like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal — are now priced up to £75, depending on the seat.
In response, the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST) issued a furious statement, calling the pricing “tone-deaf” and “out of touch with reality.” The group said:
> “Manchester United is not just a global business — it is a club built on the loyalty and passion of working-class fans. These ticket increases show a blatant disregard for that tradition.”
The announcement has triggered a wave of online anger. On social media, the hashtag #UnitedAgainstGreed began trending within hours. One season ticket holder tweeted:
> “I’ve supported this club for 30 years, but £895 for a seat in the Stretford End? That’s not football — that’s corporate theft.”
Another fan, commenting on the Red Devils’ fan forum, added:
> “How can they justify this when we haven’t won a title in over a decade? The Glazers are pricing out the people who built this club.”
The club defended the pricing changes by stating the increases are necessary to “support continued investment in the playing squad and stadium infrastructure.” A spokesperson added that “affordable options remain available” including youth season tickets from £285 and senior citizen packages starting at £435.
Still, the explanation has done little to calm the storm. MUST has hinted at possible protests ahead of the new season, and some sections of fans have called for boycotts of early home matches.
With ticket prices at Manchester United now among the highest in the Premier League, supporters are demanding not just change — but accountability.
As one banner at Old Trafford read during last season’s final match:
> “If you price us out, who will sing your songs?”
