Red Devils Avoid Ticket Turmoil…
In the wacky world of football ticketing, Manchester United has decided not to jump on the funky train that their rivals, Manchester City, are riding. The Reds have cordially declined to roll out a budget-busting scheme called flexi-gold, daringly introduced by City which has turned heads and perhaps a few stomachs.
City’s flexi-gold scheme involves 1,100 enthusiastic fans paying an extra £150 just to snag yet another chance to buy their own tickets. Imagine paying more to sit in the same seat, except pricier! Meanwhile, over at the Etihad, fans have been firing letters faster than penalty kicks, ranting about no new season tickets since the Stone Age (or at least 2021). Loyal fans are asking, “Is this football fandom or a bizarre budgeting bootcamp?”
At a recent United fans’ forum, one brave soul asked if Old Trafford would succumb to the same ticket tomfoolery. United swiftly responded with a resounding, “No way, José!” Red fans can breathe easy, as their beloved team assures them there’ll be no funny business like flexi-gold happening at their hallowed grounds.
In a world of ticketing absurdities, Manchester United comes out looking like a hero – or at least, a budget-friendly friend.
