Manchester United’s new ticket prices for the 2025-26 season have been revealed, and judging by supporter group reaction, they haven’t gone down too well amongst some sectors of the fanbase. 

The Red Devils’ fixtures for the coming campaign were released on Wednesday morning, with a huge opening day clash with Arsenal at home already building fans’ excitement.

It will be the ninth consecutive year the Red Devils have started the season off at home, with their last away trip on the opening weekend coming under Jose Mourinho’s tenure.

The club have released a new structure around prices for tickets for the coming season, with prices fluctuating depending on the opponents in four different pay brackets – news which has been described as ‘a fresh kick in the teeth’ by one supporter group.  

‘This really is a fresh kick in the teeth for Manchester United fans,’ stated the Manchester United Supports Trust.

‘When the Club said they were introducing this new model for Members tickets, we urged them to keep the majority of matches at current levels and only apply the highest price category for a small number of the biggest games, and reduced prices for lower demand games.

‘Once again, they have failed to consult any of the fans representative bodies on the details of the decision, and once again they’re making choices against the interests of fans and, we believe, the Club as a whole.’

The tickets have been split into four categories D-A, with D being the cheapest available to fans, though it will only include cup games and will cost £32-£52.

Category C will include only two Premier League games – Sunderland and Wolves – and those tickets will be priced between £37 and £60.

Category B will be the majority of games, with 11 Premier League fixtures included, but fans will have to pay between £57 and £86 for those. 

The costliest bracket is reserved for clashes against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham, and they will set fans back £59-£97.

The news also saw the Red Devils’ Fans’ Advisory Board speak out at the lack of price freeze across the board, as they had contended was justified, but acknowledged that at least senior figures at the club had made themselves available during the decision-making process. 

‘We, the Manchester United Fans’ Advisory Board, strongly advocated for an across-the-board price freeze for 2025/26 season, one we felt was justified due to the current circumstances.

‘While we did not get the freeze we argued for, we are relieved that the club was persuaded to limit the increases to the same percentage rise as recent seasons, and we are pleased they froze prices for our youngest fans.

‘We also shared our concerns over policy changes and advised against any immediate changes without consultation including those to minimum usage, match categorisation, concessions and relocations. 

‘However, we welcome the club’s renewed commitment not to make any such future changes without consultation with fans including through MUST, FAB and the Fans’ Forum.

‘We acknowledge that the senior leadership of the club, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Omar Berrada, made themselves available throughout the process and the club were well informed of fans’ feelings when making their decisions.’
