Manchester City Fans Protest Rising Ticket Prices

Manchester City fans are expressing strong concerns over rising ticket prices in an open letter to chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. Seven major supporter groups, including City Matters, have united to voice their dissatisfaction with the club's pricing strategy, citing a 5% increase implemented last season and fears that local fans may be priced out of attending matches. The letter emphasizes that Manchester City has been profitable for most seasons since 2014-2015, and highlights the need for the club to maintain its connection to the local community. Fans argue that the current ticketing policies are severing generational ties between supporters and the club. They are calling for a freeze or reduction in ticket prices and renewed dialogue with the club ahead of the 2025/26 season ticket renewal period. The collective efforts have garnered support from fans of other Premier League teams, underscoring a broader concern about ticket pricing across the league.
