Priced out?

Here you go mate: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...raise-member-ticket-prices-remove-concessions

They brought it in with immediate effect sometime on Tuesday evening I think. My boss at work - a United fan - turned 66 in July so he was paying the concessionary price previous to this decision. He paid extra for an elevated membership at the start of the season that gave him more priority for tickets than standard members and has picked up a fair few tickets this season via their ticket exchange - in one instance as late as the morning of a match. For Sunday's game he was actually deliberating earlier on Tuesday whether to go as there were tickets showing at £40 for Over 65s. He was only holding back because he knew someone who might have a spare ticket in corporate. Now he has to pay £66 going forward for every game he wants to attend and he said they can go and fuck themselves. It's not like he can't afford it but he said that's not the point and he's right, it isn't.

So basically a United member who wants to go to a league game with their son/daughter for the rest of this season has to shell out £132 for an adult and child ticket.

Solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the United, Everton, and Liverpool fanbases.

Glad fans are finally showing signs of coming together on this.

Something to chant about instead of watching the inevitable.

Something to focus on as well in a long, off season. How the operate with this new stand may be make or break.

That’s fucking mental!!!

Have they stopped wanking themselves silly over poaching Berrada now?

On a serious note supporters of all clubs need to get together over this shit.

If fans could drop their tribalism just a bit it would make a huge difference. There are lots of issues making life difficult for match-going supporters. Ticket prices, shambolic over-priced transport, kick-off times, food and merchandise costs. The authorities have fleeced supporters for years by using the age-old "divide and conquer tactic." We all need to work together on this battle.
 
Mutd are saying it only affects 3% of tickets so it is okay. Most available tickets include a museum trip and cup of tea so are marked up to £400.

I reckon Omar said if Mutd play away tickets cost that much or more at clubs like City, but the concession removal is another thing. I know some clubs have really low prices for concessions, like the £9 Liverpool ones, but in reality the supply is extremely low and the majority of day tripping kids will be on adult tickets there.
