United and Everton fans set for ticket price protest

MANCHESTER UNITED and Everton fans will stage a protest against ticket prices ahead of their Premier League clash on Sunday.

Supporters are being asked to gather next to the trinity statue outside Old Trafford to support the Football Supporters Association’s (FSA) Stop Exploiting Loyalty campaign.

As well as increasing prices generally, fans are unhappy about the removal of concession tickets for certain groups.

A statement from supporters’ group The 1958 read: “With 19 out of 20 Premier League clubs increasing ticket prices this season, FC58, Everton, Liverpool and City supporters will display the FSA banner to raise awareness that any future season ticket price increases, removal of concessions, and treating match-going supporters as an easy target to make quick revenues will not be tolerated.

“With the discussions around the rebuild or redevelopment of Old Trafford, we need to send a message to the club that we are laser-focused on keeping football affordable and looking after our loyal, match-going fan base.

“Manchester United have announced that they will be selling tickets to members for the remainder of the season at a minimum of £66 irrespective of if you are under 16, youth, OAP or disabled, which is a clear exploitation of the loyal fan base and their first move towards dynamic pricing.”

The statement added that Liverpool and Manchester City supporters will also display the banner ahead of their match the same day.
