Older Fans Cry Foul as Discounts Hit the Bench…
Manchester United may have just pulled a red card on their senior fans! The club announced a cheeky little switcheroo – slashing the pensioner discount from a delightful 50% to a more modest 25%. It seems like the club took a look at the lineup and decided their strategy was too “senior-packed” to be sustainable.
Currently, anyone qualifying for a senior ticket must hit the ripe age of 66, and these golden oldies have been hit harder than a misplaced kick from the sidelines. While younger fans cheer from the sidelines with a freeze on U16 prices, their elders are scratching their heads, wondering why their half-time slice of the discount pie has vanished.
Representatives from the club claim they’re simply realigning with other Premier League teams. They’re also looking to spread the love among all fans and help the club climb the financial league table. But the backlash came faster than a Ronaldo sprint, as unamused seniors dashed to local papers, huffing about losing their beloved perks. The consensus? It’s a mega own goal for the club’s loyalty game.
