Manchester United have hiked season ticket prices for the 2025-26 campaign by five per cent in Sir Jim Ratcliffe's latest attempt to increase revenue.
United confirmed the increase - an average of £2.50 a ticket and £47.50 a season - in a statement on Monday.
In another major change, seats close to the dugouts will be converted into hospitality 'to reflect the high value of this location' in a move that mirrors the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea.
It is the third consecutive campaign where the club have put up the cost of a season ticket by five per cent, following 11 years of freezes.
Prices have been frozen for under-16s, while concessions are also set to be reinstated for younger and older fans after criticism over the mid-season hike to £66 a ticket for seats to matches that had not yet been sold.
United will also effectively fine season ticket holders £10 if they fail to list their seat for resale within 14 days of the game, and the club also confirmed matches from next season will be placed into categories for members and concessions.

The change will allow the club to charge higher prices for matches against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Ratcliffe, 72, had confirmed in a recent interview with Gary Neville that there would be a 'modest' increase and the five per cent rise is less than supporters had feared.
