A Ticket Saga Spicier Than a Red Card…
Ladies and gents, for 2025/26, Manchester United’s match ticket prices are jumping river-sized! They’re diving into a new ‘categorisation’ model that’s got fans ready to hot-potato some serious sneezes of rage. Gigantic games against the crème de la crème — Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and those dear friends from Arsenal — will now cost between just-a-bit-of-pudding and sell-your-kidney range. However, Red Devils, fear not: if you’re a season ticket holder, you’ll still get to see these earth-shattering matches at an Everest-tall discount. Hooray?
Manchester Evening News is all a-bubble about it being the dawn of football Armageddon! With Category A and B games priced like diamond-crusted unicorns, and Category C games slightly saner, it’s causing cursing so spirited it could singe a referee’s whistle! The brave Leeds United have snuck into the A-list too, fresh from Championship wonkiness. With cup games priced as if they’re enchanted sandals, both fans and the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust are up in arms. But hey, maybe the ball’s just rolling towards a fairytale end!
Fans are buzzing like bees on strong coffee, buzzing in dismay at how this cheeky model threatens to price out future fans. The crowd roars that the club’s woolly-headed on misunderstanding its diehard supporters. They dream of a day when football is less about pockets as deep as goal nets and more about passion as strong as a defender’s boot. Grumbles like ‘Vote with your feet!’ echo through cyberspace, hinting whimsically at a world where stadiums reek of empty seats like a ghostly oddity. In the end, it’s a clumsy pas de deux of demand and devoted fan wobbles, with ticket touts dancing gleefully around it all, collecting their hard-earned pennies like they’re catching confetti!
