Manchester United to increase season ticket prices for second consecutive season

Manchester United will increase the price of their season tickets by an extra 5% for the 2024/25 season.

Season ticket renewals are out for next season and the club has announced price increases for the second year on the run. This comes after 11 consecutive seasons of price freezes.

In an email sent to season ticket holders, United said that the adjustment in price has been done to ensure “the club operates on a sustainable basis and to support investment in the team and stadium.”

United stress that the increase also reflects the continued rise in matchday operating costs at Old Trafford.

Another bonus was confirmation that a further 1,300 safe standing seats will be added in he first tier of the North-West quadrant (blocks N2412 and N2413). This means more than 10% of the general admission capacity and all four corners of Old Trafford will have safe standing areas.

Meanwhile, there are attempts to ‘reclaim’ the Stretford End but in truth their ideas sound like a washed down version of TRA, who deserve credit for improving the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

The replacement of executive seating in the Stretford End means the club will be reallocating the area to season ticket holders. Applications will be accepted from existing season ticket holders, and 500 seats will be reserved for fans aged 16-25 with a special ‘youth season ticket’ priced at £16 per game.

The club should let TRA get on with it rather than trying to force their own artificial atmosphere.

TRA will now be behind the goal rather than above the tunnel.
