Similarly to Valencia in the group stages and Sevilla FC away last season, we have again taken the difficult decision to charge FC Barcelona fans for the home leg at Old Trafford the same amount that FC Barcelona are charging for the away fixture (£102). We will use the additional revenue gained from this to subsidise our travelling support by paying the £27 price difference for each of our travelling supporters.
To ensure that the club adhere to competition rules, we have had to implement the same pricing structure for our non-members that wish to attend the home leg. Therefore a ticket for a non-member in your area of the stadium will be priced at £102. |
Whilst that is a disgusting price for non members to pay, good on United for charging the Barcelona fans the same so they can subsidise fans going to Spain. Can't think of many clubs that would do the same. Just how do clubs get away with justifying their ticket prices though????
