Outrage Over Ticket Price Hike
Manchester United fans staged protests outside Old Trafford before the match against Everton, expressing frustration over a significant rise in ticket prices. Adult tickets, previously starting at £40, now cost £66, with concessions for children and seniors scrapped entirely.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust criticized the club for failing to consult fans, warning of potential further hikes. Protest banners read messages like “Stop Exploiting Loyalty,” and chants targeted Jim Ratcliffe, calling him and the Glazers exploitative.
Support from Rival Fans
In a rare show of unity, fans from Everton, Liverpool, and Manchester City voiced support, highlighting the shared goal of preserving affordable football for future generations.
Protesters emphasized collaboration as key to combating exploitative practices in football.
The only way to stop it is to stop buying them.
