I feel for anyone buying a season ticket rather than renewing. My seat cost me £390 (including £10 online discount), but would now cost £479*. Seems a big difference.

Wonder what Wendy are charging. I'd look but would rather not. :)



*Not sure if the online discount applies to these so may be £10 cheaper.
 



Which is exactly why not very many people will be buying one.

Would we have that many new walk ups regardless of "new" season ticket price?

Think that puts our cheapest adult ticket at £369 on the Kop as more expensive than the cheapest STs at the likes of Villa, Newcastle, West Brom and Wigan and within £30 or so of Everton Fulham and Stoke. There may be others.

If United want to pursue the policy of not selling STs over the summer then they should be brave enough to close the ticket office down completely over the summer to save costs.

Why would a business put its product price at a level it knows nobody will buy at?

The thousands of lost fans that United have yet again failed to tempt back with an imaginative ST offer won't be paying out hundreds to go match by match so the potential income from them is lost. But United will still have to pay out the same expenditure on wages and infrastructure etc. Tis madness.

There can be few seasons when a radical re-think on STs was required than this one. As we enter the wilderness years we risk losing a generation of fans to to the other side as happened from the 80s. And in the longer term that will leave us shafted by the new rules on income.

I thought there was a price freeze for two years if you bought one last year and a discount for returning ST holders so it looks like they've reneged on that unless I've misjudged the situation??

We're not the only ones at it. Before June 16th, tickets at the sty will cost you £365 - £520. After that then it's £412 - £573 :eek:

you are right.the freeze was for existing season ticket holders. The new price is for those who didn't have one last season and didn't buy before the deadline. If they didn't buy before the deadline when the prices were good for exisiting and 'returning' fans,they aren't going to sell many more before the end of the season bearing in mind we are still in division 3
 
Where I am Southend are charging £300-£400, Colchester is £350-£500. Is the problem all over watching football in person is just too expensive
 
You could watch Sunderland for £425................ and they have a singing area to get like minded people together.
 
It is a tough one for the club.
I knew of a few people who took advantage of tge kids £10 season tickets and let thier mates use the card.
But i also agree prices are too high.
Is it in Germany and spain where the price of a match ticket is about £10?
Also another note on the "getting more bums on seats = more cash" they have leased out the food outlets so any proffit they make goes to the compamy who own the lease not united. So if we reduce the ticket price we wont recoupe the money from sales at the food kiosk.

I would prefer the ten quid tickets but i cant see how it would work.
 
Probably all leads back to having to pay average players inflated wages. With clubs wanting to climb the league ladder and compete in the premier league, they have to pay the wages some how. This salary cap may begin to help that
 



Mine's been renewed for the kop £299, and a junior season ticket for Brownie jnr at £30, as i will probably take him to a handful of games, so it was worth it getting one for him.
 
Mine was 360 on the kop with the early bird offer, I didn't think that was bad value tbh

I see that the Official Site has its standard spelling mistake regarding Season Ticket sales:-

"The club, having introduced a two-year PRIZE freeze, ahead of the just finished season......."

It's not a typo - it's a perfectly reasonable observation that, having failed to win any prizes last season, we are unlikely to win any for at least a further two seasons.

I've already booked my train to Wembley for my annual dose of play-off misery.
