Manchester United and Newcastle have increased season-ticket prices by 5% for 2026-27. While both clubs insist the rises are necessary to achieve success on the pitch, their respective supporter groups have strongly criticised the above-inflation hikes.
Season tickets at Old Trafford had previously been frozen for 11 consecutive campaigns, but this is now the fourth successive year they have been increased. The club said: “We have a clear objective to return Manchester United to the top of domestic and European football. We want to keep investing in the team and improving our facilities so fans get the best possible experience. We also need to make sure the club stays financially sustainable taking into account inflation and rising costs.
