Man United and Newcastle Lift Season-Ticket Prices 5% for 2026/27

Club leaders say higher matchday income will fund squads plus facility upgrades.

Overview

  • Manchester United confirmed a roughly 5% rise for 2026/27, putting the cheapest adult season ticket at £646, which the club says equates to just over £2 per game for adults.
  • United will keep the 16-of-19 seat‑usage requirement, will resume publishing ballot and allocation data, and will bring back European away ticket collections if they qualify.
  • United also plans to move several hundred season‑ticket holders in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand to expand hospitality seating, drawing condemnation from the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust.
  • Newcastle United set a 5% increase for general admission and 15% for premium bar areas, with adult prices reaching up to £987 and a pledged £1m investment in audio, kiosks and seating plus new high‑visibility bowl screens.
  • Supporter groups at both clubs criticized the hikes and pressed for a freeze under the FSA campaign, with Newcastle’s Fan Advisory Board also objecting to the disability ticket discount being cut to 25%.
