Man Utd defy fan groups with five percent season ticket rise

There will be no rise in the cost of tickets for under-16s, but the club are introducing a new game categorisation for non season-ticket holders, to allow for different pricing structures for higher-profile fixtures. United fans have routinely protested at Old Trafford in recent months after the decision in November to scrap concessions to children and over-65s with all remaining tickets for this season priced at £66 ($85). A fan advisory board (FAB), which met with the club, had pushed for a freeze on ticket prices.
