Fans of Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Everton will come together this Sunday to protest against rising ticket prices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Demonstrations are set to take place outside both Old Trafford<\/a> and Anfield, focusing on increasing ticket prices and broader financial pressures facing football fans.<\/p>\n

Ticket Price Hikes Spark Outrage<\/h3>\n

The protest comes in the wake of a controversial move by Manchester United<\/a> to raise ticket prices to \u00a366 and abolish concessions for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

This decision, announced alongside the Premier League’s<\/a> announcement of a 17% increase in broadcast revenues to \u00a312.25 billion, has drawn sharp criticism.<\/p>\n

Organisers argue that clubs are prioritising profits over the affordability of the game for working-class supporters.<\/p>\n

Further concerns have arisen over attempts to push the boundaries of the \u00a330 cap on away tickets in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Fans are warning that without intervention, rising costs could alienate the very communities that have been the backbone of the sport for generations.<\/p>\n
