Manchester United is planning to move a group of season ticket holders from their seats at Old Trafford. This decision will affect fans near the dugouts, as the club wants to sell those seats as high-priced hospitality tickets. Many long-time season ticket holders are unhappy with this change. They only learned about it through a brief message from the club, and details about their new seats have not been provided. Some fans are worried about giving up their seats, which they have held for decades. They appreciated the easy access those seats provided, especially as many of them are older adults. One supporter, who has had a season ticket for 40 years, expressed his frustration. He said this decision affects loyal fans who have supported the club during tough times. He criticized the club for not consulting with fans before making changes. Another supporter visited the ticket office and was told that around 500 people would be impacted. He described how some fans were struggling emotionally with the news. The timing and manner of the announcement were described as disrespectful, making the supporters feel undervalued. The club's recent changes also include a 5% increase in season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season and a reduced discount for senior tickets. Fans must now attend 16 of 19 games to maintain their season ticket status. This has raised concerns among supporters who feel the club no longer values their long-term support.
