Manchester United have reportedly been forced to slash the price of tickets for next weekend’s Manchester derby after failing to meet their targets.
Earlier this season, the Red Devils decided to increase the price of members’ tickets to £66, as well as remove senior citizen and child benefits.
Fans have protested against the club’s owners on several occasions, with thousands protesting ahead of the draw with Arsenal earlier this month and another set to take place against Manchester City.
It looks like they may have had an impact on the club, as United have reduced the price of derby tickets to just £40, while also reintroducing the £25 discount, according to The สนใจสมัคร? คลิกที่นี่เพื่อเริ่มต้น.
They have also reduced the price of members’ tickets for the rest of the season.
However, United have been forced into unusual measures to ensure a capacity crown is in attendance this week.
The club were criticised in November for raising ticket prices for members to a minimum of £66, while also removing concessions for children and supporters over the age of 65.
The Sun report that United were unable to sell out the Manchester derby at those prices, and so members have instead been able to buy tickets for £40, and concessions were set at £25.
Upcoming home matches in the Premier League are also said to be available to members for less than the £66 price previously set.
Fan protests are expected to take place at Old Trafford on Sunday, as sections of supporters voice their frustration with the club’s ownership.
The decision comes after they failed to sell out the derby at the increased price, despite a full stadium expected to be full.
