Just been reading that Man Utd have

Increased their ticket prices AND scrapped concession prices!
What a kick in the teeth for fans who are already cash strapped, fans with kids and fans who have supported them through the years.
Apparently it’s to help out them on a sounder financial setting.
Still as long as the ‘talent’ can keep their multi million pound salaries and flash Bentley’s etc!

 

Another reason I detest everything to do with the premiership

 

Radcliffe's revolution to bring the club back to the fans..

 

A friend of mine is a Man Utd fan (he's from Manchester). He's been to a couple of the Europa League games this season as they're the easiest tickets to get if you're not a season ticket holder (You have to be a member to buy tickets and have to pay to be a member. The only benefit of being a member? You're allowed to buy tickets.)

Tickets have been £44 so far. Juvenile about half that. Expensive but doable. They're now £67 and no concessions, so if he wanted to take his lad it would be £134.

Mind boggling

 

They have managed to find someone worse than the Glazer family.

 

Frees more seats up from locals and supporters who can’t afford it for corporate and tourist ‘fans’ who are willing to pay - they don’t care who sits in the seats as long as they’re paying as much as can be extracted

 

hopefully one day the bubble bursts as it did in Serie A when that was the elite league and by that time everyone in Manchester has found something else to do with their time and they end up playing in empty stadiums

 

My lad (used to do those walks with us) works for a PL club and having an insight it is absolutely mindbogglingly amazing what a complete money making machine it is. It is far, far removed from the PL BFC once visited, which itself was far far removed from real football, pre 1992.
I detest it too mate, but even though I resented the idea of the European Super League at the time it was mooted, I do now wish the top 6 would go. With the condition they never come back.
The top 6 are obscene, but I grudgingly respect them to some degree. Yes, the fans are the ones that suffer, but when they can potentially sell 3x the capacity for every game, is that really suffering? I get the bit about traditional, local working class fans being priced out of supporting them but that is true all down the pyramid

 

Sickening and another example of PL clubs taking the game away from the hardcore supporter base.
I suspect within that concession bracket is OAP concessions, basically saying thanks for contributing for past 60 years here's your loyalty reward.

 

Spurs would be relegated every season.

 

All premier clubs will follow in time just watch.

 

I did post about this a few days ago, but not to worry.
What would concern me now is that this will affect away supporters too, so now imagine what the cost would have been for our fans, young and old, in the cup game recently.

 

And still not as bad as Conway and tribe

 

Well, the PL currently cap away fan prices at £30, so no idea what will happen.

The crazy thing about it is best case estimate it will raise an additional £1.5 million over the rest of the season if they sell out, which they wont.

The statement from the club is that it's an emergency measure to prevent a breach of FFP. And btw it comes after they halved the disabled supporters funding, saving a huge £50k.

What kind of billionaire tax exile have United let buy a minority shareholding?

 

Just wait until the PL clubs introduce dynamic pricing .....

It is coming

 

Once they've gone, can we whitewash them completely from English football? So that the champions for 2022/3 were Newcastle with Brighton as runners up and for 2023/4 it was Villa followed by Newcastle. Just for the lols.

 

Mates at Everton paying 330 more in the new ground nexr year!

 

Exactly. Mega clubs like United would completely do away with season tickets. They'd much rather different people pay every week than loyal fans
