Premier League urged to back ticket price freeze
Briefly

The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) has urged the Premier League for a division-wide ticket price freeze as part of its 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty' campaign to prevent further exploitation of loyal fans. Some clubs, such as Brentford and Liverpool, have already committed to this freeze, but protests have erupted at several clubs over rising ticket costs, including Manchester United's recent removal of concession discounts. The FSA aims to strengthen supporter engagement and ensure protections for concessions while improving communication between clubs and fans regarding ticket pricing.
Manchester United fans protested outside Old Trafford before their win against Everton on 1 December after the club removed concessionary discounts on members' tickets.
The FSA's #StopExploitingLoyalty campaign pulls all of those together with a single focus which calls for price freezes, an end to the attack on concessions and increased supporter engagement.
Brentford and Liverpool recently committed to freeze prices, while there have been fan protests at Premier League clubs such as Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City in recent weeks.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe defended the ticket pricing changes by stating, 'I don't think it makes sense for a Manchester United ticket to cost less than a ticket to see Fulham.'
