The 18-25 is a good idea. A lot of 22/23/24 year olds are low paid/studying etc.
Can't knock the fuckers for those prices towards their younger fans. This is the time where they know they have to do something to stop potentially losing these fans to us.I know what we think of their fans but the club might be on to something, to be fair.
UNITED CONFIRM 2018/19 TICKET PRICES
Season and match ticket prices frozen for seventh consecutive season
Introduction of new £15 tickets for 18 to 25-year-olds in the Stretford End
Manchester United has confirmed that season and match ticket prices will be frozen for a seventh consecutive season, ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, making an eighth price freeze in nine years.
In that time, fans have enjoyed a price reduction of nearly 17 per cent in real terms.
In addition, the club has announced a new £15 ticket for fans aged 18-25, with pitch-side seats in the lower Stretford End, reinforcing the club’s commitment to a vibrant atmosphere, while also helping younger fans to watch live, affordable football.
Other concessions include:
• £10 per game Season Ticket price for Under 16s (Family areas)
• Half-price tickets for Under 18s & 65+ (prices from £14 per game)
• 25 per cent discount for 18 to 20-year-olds
Also, supporters will receive a 25 per cent reduction for Carabao Cup home games.
Manchester United’s Group Managing Director Richard Arnold commented: “The club enjoys unparalleled support and we recognise the sacrifice many fans make to watch the team home and away. Continuing the freeze in match and season tickets for next season is driven by our belief in supporting fans attending our games.
“The introduction of reduced ticket prices for young adults in the Stretford End lower tier stems from suggestions generated by fan groups through our Fans’ Forum, aimed at building on the tradition of vibrant support.”
yep its a brilliant idea. liverpool, everton and united have a younger age season ticket. we're literally one of the only clubs increasing prices and have done every year now for the past ten or so years.
I think they froze them for Peps first season?yep its a brilliant idea. liverpool, everton and united have a younger age season ticket. we're literally one of the only clubs increasing prices and have done every year now for the past ten or so years.
Only because they have huge competition from across town these days.
Most fans have picked their team before they hit 18. Not a chance would any red (even some of their less gifted supporters) stop going there to come here.
I can spot a faker in seconds and am yet to encounter them at City. Non argument there.
Not even had an email yet.
I'm on auto enrolment, does that mean won't be getting one?
Would still be courteous to let me know what I will be paying.
It’s annoying. It will be as simple as some matchday revenue manager being targeted to achieve a certain percentage growth in matchday revenue.
We do some things well like the £300 odd season tickets of which there are many in SS3, the value gold ticket, reductions for over 65’s and kids prices in family stand.
What we don’t do well is this. Little increases here and there that they know people will suck up. Platinum is another rip off. That should be scrapped. It’s nonsense.
