Manchester United have binned their discounted tickets for the remainder of the season and club members will now be required to pay £66 with no concessions prices available at Old Trafford.
The decision will see the club not make a distinction between a price of adult, child or over-65s concessions. The club say that following ‘all major ticket releases’ and ’97 per cent of match tickets for this season already sold with five age-related discounts’, no further discounts will be offered.
Cost-cutting measures have already seen the club embark on a major redundancy programme. United targeted 250 jobs cuts in a bid to make the club more sustainable hoping to make a £40million-£45million saving. The decision has seen the club spend £8.6m on the measures, revealed in the first quarterly fiscal results.
United’s matchday revenue for the quarter totalled £26.5m, a decrease of £900,000 from the previous quarter. The club posted a £1.9m profit in the same quarter last year, but ended the period with net losses of £113.2m.
