United fans see red over ‘ticket tax’

IRATE Manchester United supporters have accused the club of fleecing fans by widening a three percent ‘ticket tax’ to all match-day applications.

On Friday, Old Trafford officials scrapped the controversial levy, which applies to all credit and debit card payments, for season ticket renewals, a move which cost them £150,000.

However, yesterday supporters learned the provision for postal applications for one-off tickets had been abolished, forcing members to enter the usual ballot by making their applications either over the phone or the internet.
