Sir Jim Ratcliffe confirms Manchester United ticket prices will go up next season
Danny Jones
Amid a number of financial confessions made on Monday, Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has revealed that ticket prices will go up next season.
The Failsworth-born billionaire sat down with club legend and fellow businessman Gary Neville for a lengthy interview on The Overlap, during which the two discussed everything from his first year in charge to Erik ten Hag, fan frustration, the Glazer family, the new stadium and more.
However, the biggest takeaway that supporters will no doubt be most concerned with is how things are going to directly impact them and their pockets, with Ratcliffe confirming that ticket prices will be going up heading into next year.
You can see how he dealt with the question by Neville down below.
Jim Ratcliffe’s full interview with Gart Neville on The Overlap.
As you can see, although he answers the questions very quickly and plainly, there’s still no indication as to what fans can expect to be paying for season tickets and single matchday admission.
Although Ratcliffe insists they will only jump up “a little bit, yes, but not a lot”, he couldn’t clarify what that amount will be and, more importantly, it wasn’t made clear if this was an increase on the existing number or the £66 limited fee that was introduced back in November after concessions were stripped.
That being said, given the “big picture” revelations regarding the club’s finances Ratcliffe mentions throughout the rest of the interview, you would assume it will be on top of that figure.
Undoubtedly the most alarming quote for fans to hear during the entire sit-down comes from 72-year-old disclosing that “Manchester United would have run out of money at the end of this year”, around Christmas or even November time.
Neville’s only response is to ask “Do you know how bad that is?”, assuring that he doesn’t doubt they are indeed the facts on the balance sheet given his knowledge of the club, before describing the present circumstances as “horrific.”
It is this reason, among many others related to the long-standing Glazer stewardship and what Neville labelled as nothing less than “neglect” that led United fans to hold yet another large-scale protest before the game against Arsenal on Sunday – a demonstration which saw thousands take over the streets.
Other notable comments from the discussion included Ratcliffe admitting that “mistakes” were made when it came to keeping ten Hag on after the FA Cup victory, the costly situation with Dan Ashworth – which he put down to a matter of “chemistry” – and the club’s continued issues with recruitment.
While the former right-back did credit his fellow entrepreneur for at least coming forward to do the interview and communicating these realities to the Old Trafford faithful, if you’re a Red, we’ll warn you it isn’t exactly a light-hearted listen.
Better yet, let us know your honest opinion of Jim Ratcliffe, INEOS and the decision they’ve made thus far down in the comments.

Consider yourself a music fan? Spend your days with tunes on in the background? Would you be able to identify a song within the first couple of seconds?
Well this might be your chance to win £10,000.
The BBC is currently casting for the next series of its smash-hit competition show The Hit List, where contestants get their music knowledge put to the ultimate test, and is now looking for people from across Greater Manchester to apply and be in with the chance of winning a massive pot of cash.
The Hit List, presented by popstar couple Marvin and Rochelle Humes, sees three pairs of music-lovers go up against each other.

Across three rounds, the contestants attempt to identify huge hits from across the years, and the three teams must prove their ability to recognise songs from across all genres of music, both artist and song title, if they want to take home the win.
A casting call for the next series of The Hit List on the BBC website reads: “Could your love of music win you a £10,000 cash prize? We are looking for lively pairs of contestants to take part.”
Any one can apply to take part in the show, but producers and casting directors say they would particularly love to hear from couples, grandparent and grandchild, siblings, best mates, and parent and offspring.
