The Daily Mail reported that Manchester United's average ticket price will be raised to a maximum of £97 per game next season.
Manchester United has launched a competition grading system for non-season ticket holders for the first time, and the game games are divided according to the expected demand. Under the new pricing model, the single-game ticket price range for the focus matches (Class A) against teams such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal is £59 to £97.
club officials said tickets sold for £97 will account for less than 1% throughout the season, and the average ticket price is expected to rise to £46 from £41 last year. They stressed that the new price remains on par with other Premier League clubs in the north-west and below the level originally proposed to the fan group. Currently, the single ticket prices of clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham United and Fulham have exceeded three figures.
The policy of cancellation of single-game ticket discounts that caused controversy in the middle of last season will be restored.
This is the latest move taken by Sir Ratcliff and Inex Group to increase revenue since taking over in January this year. The joint minority equity owner has launched two rounds of layoffs based on a comprehensive review after taking over football operations.
season ticket prices have been raised by 5%, and Manchester United is trying to balance improving revenue and maintaining access to the game. The other classification ticket prices are Class B (£57-86), Class C (£37-60), Class D is only applicable to Cup competitions (£32-52).
