"It is disappointing that the club has ignored our call, as part of the FSA's league-wide campaign, for a ticket-price freeze. Supporters are paying more and more to watch their team, and as the FSA campaign said: enough is enough. We've also learned that 600 more loyal fans are being moved for ever more hospitality."
"Those people will be understandably furious, and need to be better treated by the club than those who went through the same thing last year were. That said, we are pleased the club listened to some of our concerns and there are no further restrictions on season-ticket holders forwarding their tickets and no increase in the minimum usage rules."
"Football clubs make better decisions when they listen to fans - they should do it more."
Manchester United's decision to proceed with ticket price increases has drawn criticism from the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST), who advocated for a complete price freeze aligned with the Football Supporters' Association's campaign. The club displaced 600 additional loyal fans to accommodate more premium hospitality seating. While MUST acknowledged some positive outcomes—including no new restrictions on season-ticket forwarding and unchanged minimum usage requirements—the trust expressed concern about the broader trend toward premium seating expansion. MUST emphasized that supporters face escalating costs to watch their team and called for clubs to better engage with fan concerns in future decision-making.
