united charging £41 for a ticket in the south stand against Watford , how can they justify that, when they are only charging £25 on Saturday for Charlton game

Rhian Brewster is playing*, it’s worth the entry price for that alone.


* he probably won’t be because he’ll be injured but wonders never cease.

He probably won't be because he signed for Derby.

Assume we’re charging similiar to last season.

Half our matches last season were category A and they’ve chosen the most attractive 12 fixtures and made them category A.
Last season Stoke and Hull were also category A, £41 in most areas of the ground.

The Charlton match is a total one-off, it’s a category C match.
Good to see it brought back because we stopped doing category C prices years ago.

Ha, I read the OP’s name and got confused

Although he might play more for Watford this season than he does for Derby

Southampton game is Cat B and cheaper. I would have thought this was a more attractive game than Watford.

Watford category A

Agree but it’s a midweek match which are often more difficult to attend and has smaller crowds.

We’ve not had a single cat A match yet this season.
All our home games to date have been against the lesser attractive teams.
Seems like they were keen to finally allocate a match as cat A.

The Wednesday fixture hasn't yet been allocated a designated category as the
opponents may not be in existence.

I know this is not just a United issue and is across the 92, but surely we make more money by selling tickets at £25 than £41.

Realistically, how many POTD tickets are we going to sell when it's going to be over £120 for a family of 4 to attend against Watford?

I think the problem is the club has to have a decent differential between season ticket prices per game and pay on the day. However there has to be a middle ground and to expect people to pay 41 quid to watch a lower half of the championship game against a nothing side is ridiculous.

Is that accepted wisdom true anymore?

I buy my ST in the full knowledge that due to the shifting sands of the fixture list, I'll maybe make the "break even" point.

I get mine so that for the games I get to, I'm sat with the mates I've sat with for eons. Pretty much all of them buy for the same, emotional over financial reason as holdays, family stuff etc takes precedence too.

I've no problem if matchday tickets are £25 and it enables people with not a lot of spare cash to watch their team, it doesn't disadvantage me in the slightest.

...and he is injured

It is bizarre that Charlton will be £25 and Watford potentially over £40, depending on where you sit. Watford may be ever so slightly more attractive of a fixture, on paper - although I'd argue the opposite, as we've not played Charlton for a while, so at least it has a bit of a novelty factor.

No league game at any level should be £41. However nobody in football gives a toss about getting it under control so here we are.
