Manchester United’s new stadium could have ‘seat licences’ – what does that mean?
Man United weighing up seat rules for new £2bn stadium
- Manchester United is exploring a 'seat licence' scheme for its proposed new stadium, which would allow supporters to purchase long-term rights to a specific seat for all events.
- The club has clarified that these seat licences would not replace traditional season tickets.
- An online survey is being launched to gather feedback from match-going supporters on the seat licence concept, as well as on pricing, facilities, and seating options.
- This consultation is part of the plans for a new £2 billion, 100,000-capacity stadium, intended to replace Old Trafford, which were unveiled in March.
- Manchester United is committed to balancing the financing of a new stadium with ensuring football remains affordable and accessible for fans, preserving match-going culture.
